I haven't seen the film yet, but I have seen the "Mehbooba Mehbooba" video: it's pretty good, though the hip-hop portions don't do it for me. Amitabh Bachchan was fucking phenomenol in Aks; he gave one of his career's finest performances there, and that's saying a lot. I was shocked to hear that Ajay Devgan would be enacting the part of Veeru (Devgan was always terrible in comic roles), but I'll put off making comments till after I've watched the movie.
It's a matter of opinion and taste if you liked "Mehbooba", but I absolutely hated it. I saw the promos and I wasn't impressed. When that song was on, I actually wanted to leave, make a phone call, tell a friend about how terrible the film is, then go back in once the song was over!
As for Amitabh in Aks, he was very good in a film that I think was underrated, I was just making the comparision that while looking at his Babban, it felt that he was repeating himself with the performance he gave as 'Raghvan' in Aks, where he did a far better job. Babban was just a too over-the-top version of Raghavan and turned out a silly caricature. AB should really be ashamed of himself. He hasn't let himself down so badly since Boom.
There are other things I could complain about this film, but since many still haven't seen it I won't go there. I'm itching to spoil it for everyone. I didn't like the Don remake much, but it's a masterpiece compared to this trash. It's as if RGV actually set out to make a bad film. How can he possible think he's done a good job?
Some people have said this is the worse Indian films in recent years. I still think it's slightly better than KANK.
