Direction - Kapil Sharma

Cast - John Abraham , Prachi Desai , Chitrangada Singh , Raima Sen , Mini Mathur

As the film title suggest the film revolves around a self centered , immature , compulsive flirt , commitment phobic guy whose phone's voice message says 'Hi, this is Ishaan Sabharwal… If it’s good looking, it’s me!'  His reason for justifying a a 3 years live in relation is as lame as  "We looked so good together"

The central character has shades of  Akash from Dil Chahta Hai (2001) , Karan from  Lakshya (2004) , Sid from  Pyaar Ke Side Effects (2006) and Sidharta from  Wake Up Sid (2009) . The difference is whereas all the above actors did complete justice to their roles , John 's acting  fails to leave any impact on the viewers . 

Why should you see this film-

1.Your wife / girlfriend still has a crush on John Abraham .

2. Your husband / boyfriend thinks Chitrangada is hot 

3. You like the cute Prachi Desai

4. You liked some songs in the film's promos.

5. The film is just 1hour 48 min lng so you won't get bored.  

Why should  you skip this film - 

1. John is a better  producer (Vicky Donor ) than actor. He is tolerable in multi starrers ( Housefull 2 , Race 2 , New York ,  Dostana , Dhoom ) but his solo films have been a disaster. ( Jhootha Hi Sahi  , No Smoking ) 

2. Chitrangada has a very small role in the film ,it's more like an extended special appearance .

3. Prachi Desai is good as the bubbly make up artist but her character in the story comes out as too good to be true .

4. The story and screenplay are weak which result in lack of drama and  sudden  twists in the story .

5. The film has no moral , it is just a mirror of the lifestyles of the current generation who believe in casual relations .

In a line the film has nothing new for the audience and there are many Indian and Hollywood TV serials which have hotter and better dressed stars .

Avoidable.

Rank - 9 (Out of the 14 films I have seen in 2013 )
