Director Anurag Basu goes back to the palette used in his previous feel good venture - Barfi - and creates a whole new universe of a breezy caper. The movie is a quirky, comical adventure presented as a musical, aimed mainly at the young (& young at heart) audience.
Ranbir Kapoor is in top form as the stammering amateur - Tintin-esque - detective and is ably supported by the rest of the cast especially Saswata Chatterjee.
Music director Pritam and lyricist Amitabh Bhattacharya have delivered aces in the form of excellent background score and catchy songs which enliven the proceedings.
Ravi Varman has crafted beautiful frames with his cinematography capturing the beautiful vistas of the North-East as well as West Africa.
On the flip side, Basu's film suffers from his over indulgence results in avoidable bulk in running time as well as some parts which are unconvincing as well as tacky.
Nevertheless, it is an interesting and first of its kind experiment in Bollywood that almost succeeds and the entire team deserve kudos for that.
WORTH A WATCH !!
RATING - 2.5/5
