I'm a big Aamir Khan fan and have been for the best part of 2 decades. This has to be one of the most disappointing movies he has made - certainly in this century.
Essentially, its the stories of four lives in Mumbai. I'm sure you've heard that so many times about this movie, but that's about all there is to say about it. The movie starts at a random point in their lives and continues for the course of a few days. There is little character development and there is hardly a story to tell. To be more accurate, this is effectively a 'documentary' of some fictional characters against the background of 'Old Mumbai'.
You'll be disappointed if you're expected something in the vein Aamir's recent movies. There isn't any poor acting - there's hardly any opportunity for someone to have put in a bad performance. I kept waiting for the movie to get going but it never did. Sorry Aamir!
