 What was frightening was the packed house . Is this the future ? Bollywood movies in English with the odd token Hindi song?
Movies like Monsoon wedding or Bend it like Beckham which are not a
patch on any Bollywood movie have made ten times that of a blockbuster
like K3g . They should either have subtitled the songs completely or
as they did with the one at the end -Baba chin chin chu - put the
lyrics all in English . One unrealistic scene was the Killer Khalsa man telling the
heroine in front of her parents -I have hidden muscles which I will
show you after the wedding ! It will definitely be a hit .
