A really silly movie, but I enjoyed it. Shahrukh Khan makes watching this movie worthwhile. He is great as the guy who is a very capable private detective, but because of his name gets confused in a murder plot without him knowing. And as it seems like in a lot of 90s Shah Rukh Khan movies, Amrish Puri plays the villain and Johnny Lever the comic relief sidekick. Both did a good job. Twinkle Khanna is also fun to watch as the female lead.
