The film starts with a Chinese proverb that when you save someone's life ,that person's life becomes your responsibility . If only the full film was not based on this thought . For some time it was funny to see to what lengths can a man help another but then it started getting monotonous and boring .

There are some good scenes between the two talented actors like when Kunal asks Khurrana 'Kitna time lagega Chulbul Pandey ban ne main ' but overall the story lacks speed and any twists and turns.
The one life changing  kiss in the film is so creepy that you wish the director had taken 'how to make a smooch look real on screen ' lessons from Emran Hashmi.

There are three female characters but none of them has a well defined role or any strong dialogues.
There are too many songs which further slow down the speed of the film . Abhishek Bachchan in a  cameo hardly left any impact.
The audience does expect more from Rohan Sippy who has given entertaining films like Bluffmaster in the past.

In a line if this was Ayushman's debut film his career would have ended before it even started .
Highly Avoidable.

Rank - 15 (Out of the 22 films I have seen in 2013 )
