The Trailer

The Review

A low-down on this film, well it has beautiful cast, nice settings and production, but disappointing storyline.

It’s not that the plot was terrible, but it’s just how the 2-hour long movie was presented was its downfall.

Despite having John Abraham as the main lead, even he couldn’t save this film from a bad review. The scenes was patchy, plus there were redundant moments that serves no purpose, and the editing was messy.

The good thing however, by the end of the movie, you would realise that there’s more to life than money, and that the pursuit of happiness starts with the mind.

The Good

• I love the music score
• Has an excellent message within the movie to impart

The Bad

• The chemistry was non-existant
