Review:

I'm noticing a lot of purple in the posters for Bollywood pics. I'm not sure why, but I don't particularly care for the color selection here. And that it's so ordinary otherwise does not help.

• Trailer: B-

Review:

It's certainly an interesting concept and that it's based on actual events says a lot about the subject. That it's a comedic film is a bit strange, but it could still provide plenty of social commentary.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
