I saw this recently and loved it. The trailer for the movie doesn't do it justice. I agree the movie does get a bit cheesy at the end but it makes sense given the context of the movie. The song and dance number at the end was just the director's attempt and being cheeky given that the movie is based in Bombay/Mumbai , the home of bollywood. Also the song/dance is a part of the credits , so its no different than the directors showing outtakes from the movie in the sense that you don't need to watch the credits and lot of the people left right before the credits anyways

 

I might be a little biased because I am originally from Bombay/Mumbai though

pretty good film.

 

my only gripe

 

the brothers death was so stupid. this kid who has always been bad suddenly decides he has to pretty much kill himself and dos it in the most ridiculous way ever.

thought it was pretty good. reminded me of my time spent in india, i even saw the big slum next to the airport (forget the name), but only from the road. i watched the millionaire show a few times when i was over there, but i couldnt understand it obviously.

 

i agree that the brother's death was kind of stupid, but i guess he figured he had to kill the mob boss for sure otherwise the girl and main character would never be safe. he probably wanted to break out of the gangster life for a while but it is hard for me to reconcile him grabbing and cutting the girl and then a little later growing a heart. whatever.

 

 

and the scene at the end... come on. it is an indian movie, set in india, with an all-indian cast, there HAD to be one of those scenes. i was surprised there weren't more.

 

favorite part though was

 

when he had to jump into the shit pile to get amitabh's signature
