Main Hoon Na (2004)
7/10
one big homage, can't complain though!!
25 June 2004
an excellent homage to 70's cinema & music, but not at all in a bad way as typically assumed with this kind of genre. although the plot had a fair use of cliché'd scenes, we could see that all the artists were enjoying themselves working on this & it always reflects in good performances. with the big grins we certainly know from the outset that its meant to be cheesy & that is exactly why it works.

suniel shetty seems more than comfortable playing the villain, sushmita sen & her sari's will certainly adjust the people's views on saris being old-fashioned, shahrukh khan once more reminds us of why he's one of the most respected actors in the industry

amrita rao & zayed khan are adequate & show potential though its hard to judge them so early in their careers

but above all i think credit goes to farah khan for scripting & direction, you would not think this a work of a first timer. don't get me wrong its not perfect, but whats the fun in perfect anyway??!

additional comment: its good to see the hero being overpowered by the villain without bias {srk & farah khan being good friends}.

we shall look forward to her next venture ... already we know it will have Shahrukh Khan - Surprise Surprise!
