While I enjoyed the comedy, I always felt the female characters could have been written better. They were mostly reacting to the men's antics rather than having their own strong arcs. Still a fun watch though!

Irrfan Khan brought so much depth even to a comedy role. That's what made him special. The movie wouldn't have been the same without him.
