The first hour somewhat does justice to the genre. However, the plot starts to fall apart in the second half, where all they do is chase each other across continents.The end was illogical. Every actor longs for acting immortality while every fan loves to live the fantasy life of their favourite actor.
Shah Rukh Khan fans all over the world can only hope that this film is the starting point for a wiser selection of roles from the actor in the near future, because when allowed to truly showcase his talents, he is able to mesmerise you like no other. Casting himself in both roles, Khan could have intended a complex satire of celebrity narcissism or he could just be, well, guilty of a fair bit of celebrity narcissism himself. Either way, it’s outrageous and enjoyably absurd.
