Well, for starters i am glad i didnt see this movie in the theatre (i so thank the rain gods for foiling my plans of going to the theatre. I bow to thee oh varun devta !!)
overall its a decent enough movie. but not to be watched in theatre and definately not more than once. the special effects were not a let down (read: compared to earlier bollywood movies with special effects. pathetic if you ask me) harman baweja managed to pull off a successful hritik roshan (yes he was secretly working for him, as hritik is out of the industry for a bit with his knee injury. so he had hired harman baweja to do his bidding and to keep the hritik fever going on) read on .......
Characters -----
Karan mahlotra: harman baweja plays karan mahlotra. age 23. sydney. single and waiting. Karan happens to be a son of a big industrialist, along with that he is a nascar driver, extreme sports biker, free runner, mortal kombat champion, thief, poet, singer and can defy gravity to a certain extent. a butterfly is his mentor and is guiding him towards his lady love. he has a thing for old women. and he comes up with cheesy one liners like 'i dont need luck, i have love'
Sanaa/zeisha: priyanka chopra plays sanaa and ziesha and no that is not a double role but sanaa dies in the year 2008 and comes back in the future as a pop star who does everything but sings. actually sanaa is a 6yr old kid trapped inside the body of a 22yr old chic with a thing for butterflies and yes she can steal as well. ziesha is self obsessed and has a bitch ass girlfriend and a couple o homos following her everywhere (thats her fan following) the rest of the people waving and blowing kisses at her were just hired to increase the hype and are paid for. she has a scary robot teddy bear who can kill on command named boo! oh yea and did i mention the part where she corrects the equation for the successful working of the time machine which a scientist has been doing for the past 15yrs ... yes ! she does that. she changes the alpha to infinity !
Uncle Ya: Boman irani or uncle ya or crazy mughal-e-azam addicted weirdass scientist has successfully pulled off the Einstein look and is sexually attracted to a humanoid robot called Q.T. oh yea and he is the one who invents the time machine !
Rahul and Tia: these 2 are sanaa's siblings (almost 15yrs gap ! way to go sanaa's mom n dad) they want to be like the kid in home alone so they put up booby traps in the house to scare karan, but wet pants on the wrong place dont stop him !

Mr. Mahlotra: Dilip Tahil plays karan's dad. he is sexually attracted to fast cars and wants to sleep with a M6 which is ruthlessly destroyed by his son karan (who wants his mom as a human and not as a car) after the car is destroyed, dilip tahil goes into chronic depression and is only seen blankly staring at the tv at the very end.
Dr. Hoshi: Dr. hoshi is a huge follower of sauron and has super powers such as the kamehameha energy blast and teleportation. he wants to take over the world and till now has taken over mumbai.
the movie summary .....
the 1st half is like any other mushy romantic movie. boy falls in love with a girl, they roam around hand in hand, crack some stupid jokes, casual sex here n there, steal some soft toys (because that is very cute) in that process the boy enters into the extreme cycling race for the 1st time and wins it for her den climbs a rollercoaster and by defying all laws of gravity sits on it without any protection den free runs through the city just to follow her and find her house (inbetween all the running, he also has a fling with a granny and now he is his own grandpa) then all of a sudden destiny gets them apart, and the boy starts searching for his lady love (under the able guidance of a butterfly) and again in a different city in a different time destiny and the rains again get them together, they plan on getting married, parents approve of their love, everything is going the way it has to go and all of a sudden the girl dies ! till now it was like any other romantic movie. but, the twist at the end of the 1st half is that a cone of strawberry ice cream kills the girl !!!
( hear that mrs shubha raul ???? ice cream .. not hooka ... !! ice cream kills people ! and you are blaming the hooka ! a case of dirty politics ? you have a setting with the ice cream mafia is it ? crazy ass bitch !!!! )
now we are in the 2nd half, the guy is shattered at the loss of his future wife and the fact that he wont be able to kiss her and also the fact that its morally wrong to kiss a dead corpse.
but its bollywood and there's always a way out. his uncle (who happens to be a scientist out of nasa) has created a time machine and they set out on a journey into the year 2050 in mumbai (rahul and tia are stowaways in the time machine) and so they reach mumbai, which has become more cramped up than it ever was with housing in the seas (and has a very uncanny resemblance to the cities in starwars) as well and dharavi being declared as a secular nation. oh yea snakes have joined the list of extinct creatures in the yr2050. and the australian currency has become a rare collectible. every electronic gadget and software are dominated by sun microsystems and there are paanwala robots !
so the 4 of them arrive in the future and instantly they are rich because they have australian currency on them. they instantly get into a house on the water (the hottest property at that time)
while roaming around and exploring the new mumbai, they come across ziesha the self obsessed pop star (who does everything but sings) karan instantly starts trying to get into her pants, stalking her and hypnotizing her and all. again the movie goes into a typical romantic movie with the guy and the girl getting to know each other and flirting around with a little bit of resistance from the girl's best friend. and a couple of songs here and there, and a good virtual game of mortal combat, you know the drill.
so finally the time has come for the guy to leave and go back to his time and he wants the girl to come along with him (i'm sure he doesnt know shite about the space time continuum and how this step will disturb the space time fabric) at the same time dr. hoshi wants the time machine. he sends his minions to attack karan and follow him (again, the minions are very much on the similar lines of the storm troopers in star wars) and also they happen to have swords which look like lightsabers (cheap ripoff though) this starts a fight resulting in the hero destroying all the henchman and the final battle with dr. roshi begins where the hero again defies the laws of gravity and jumps over the kamehameha attacks of roshi and pushes him off the edge (roshi survives the fall later to be hit by a flying truck and finally getting killed.
the ending is a very happy ending with the lot getting back to the time machine in the nick of time and coming back to the present along with the horny robot QT, the scary ass teddy bear boo and ziesha. where they live happily ever after till death takes them over !
yes, i know by this time anyone who read this is snoring or has ran away in the rains pulling his/her hair out.
but do watch this movie atleast once !!
