After the 'Aladin' failure, one approaches this romantic story, also starring Riteish Deshmukh and Jacqueline Fernandez, with a little bit of nervousness. But this Milap Zaveri movie turns out to be quite enjoyable. It has a light, breezy tone to it, is silly in places and funny, in others. In short, it manages to hook you along, as long as you don't have too many expectations from it.

Director Zhaveri has penned many comic capers like 'Masti' and 'Heyy Babyy' and at last makes his directorial debut with this film. He absolutely shows his flair for the comic genre and invests this story of an alien and a human being with enough comic moments to make one forget its strange premise.

Riteish enacts a loser in the film, and one must say that he is getting to be quite an expert in this role. Anyway, Mr. Loser called Rajesh has a friend, played by Vishal Malhotra, another born loser. A Gujarati, he lives a protected life with his loving parents, played by Satish Shah and Supriya Pilgaonkar.

A clapper boy on the sets of a film, the love of his life, the AD, Natasha (Sonal Sehgal), just thinks of him as a good friend. Just when he despairs of ever finding true love, Tara (Fernandez) enters his life. An alien from Venus, she is on a short journey to Planet Earth to find true love.

It falls on Rajesh and his friend to ferry her around and take care of her as she tries to find true love with the young superstar, Desh (Ruslaan Mumtaz). Trouble starts when Rajesh loses his heart to her, but cannot believe he stands a chance with Desh around.

The film works really well in the first half when the director is introducing his hero and his heroine and their respective stories. This half is absorbing as most of the comic action is centered here. His characters like Rajesh, the loser, his father, are constantly on the look out for some seedy fun. The inhabitants at the movie set, including Farah Khan, are all quite appealing and well done. Since he has cast his actors well, the movie falls into place quite faultlessly.

But in the second half, the director shifts his focus to the love story between Rajesh and Tara and the third angle in this triangle, Desh, the superstar. So far, Zaveri had the courage to be original, but in this half, he falls prey to clichés. The movie now gets expected and fails to hold one's interest.

Zaveri makes a sure debut in the genre that he is most comfortable in. One just wishes that he could have worked a little harder on the second half of the movie. The film's music has been composed by Sajid-Wajid and is quite pleasant on the ears. The cinematography by Attar Singh Saini is proficient.

As for the actors, Riteish is rightly cast as the loser and he essays his role very well really. He is very well supported by Vishal Malhotra, who plays his best friend in the film. The two share a very good chemistry on screen. Riteish also shares a wonderful chemistry on screen with his female lead, Jacqueline. She manages to carry of her role fairly well.

Ruslaan Mumtaz also delivers a competent act. Satish Shah and Supriya Pilgaonkar are quite lovely as Ritesh's Gujarati parents. So is Sonal Sehgal. As for the stars, Farah Khan and Akshay Kumar, they add the required gloss with their appearances.

In general, the movie is entertaining to watch once.
