However Seenu tricks each the outlaw and also the girl and obtaining united with Sunaina forms the story (Yawn)!

Varun's character is that of a over good guy who does not have any clue concerning life and affirmative, education too! He tries his best to repair the lamest lines he's given! Each ladies, Ileana and Nargis are wealthy within the film, however do not have abundant to do! Film appearance slick; however reminds you frequently of recent David Dhawan-Salman dead movies. book may be a immense pile of scenes that don't have anything in them. Those who prefer to watch Varun Dhawan performing some 'over the top' performance as if he's in some reasonably street drama (shouting and singing all the time), will watch it. This is often 'just another David Dhawan movie'.
