NOT PERFECT, BUT IT HAS ENOUGH SASS TO STING

Anya Singh, Lakshya’s ride-or-die manager (perhaps modelled after SRK’s own rock, Pooja Dadlani), played brilliantly; and Bobby Deol as the SRK-esque superstar who swaggers about while trying to shield his precious daughter from falling for a plebeian like Lakshya.

All these tracks click. Every actor hams it up and dials it down when needed. The satire works, the jokes land. Is the plot predictable? Yes. Is it entertaining enough to keep you hooked? Also yes.

Raghav Juyal nearly steals the show. There’s a scene where he helps Lakshya out of a scrape using some questionable means — his timing is impeccable. And his fanboy moment with Emraan Hashmi (playing himself, complete with the “kissing king” label) is hilarious. Honestly, we all need a friend like him in our lives.
