This is the story of middle aged boy Challa. Who makes a living waiting tables and crooning songs in British mohalla.
One day he falls in love with a young and cute girl Meera. But the girl takes an unusual oath and leaves giving Challa lot of peera.
Challa leaves London feeling dejected and sad. Lands in India and joins army's bomb squad.
Years pass by Challa diffusing roadside bombs . And in spare time singing sad songs.
Then comes a spunky little girl named Akira. She decides to unite the lovebirds Challa and Meera.
Fate brings Challa to London again. He meets Mira and finds she is also in lot of pain.
Meera decides to return back to her love and breaks her oath. Akira is very happy to have united them both.
P.S. - Story of Challa seems very weak compared to the great films made by a great director who has films like Waqt, Deewar, Chandni, Lamhe and Darr to his credit.
Watched it at Wave Cinemas and really loved. The movie had everything from emotions to humour to seriousness. I liked it. And the songs! Amazing, really!
Don't fool us. We know what to watch and what to ignore. Its our money. Please don't fool public. There is already review spread word of mouth which is more practical and not money intention oriented. You can not force anyone to go to theater by putting good link and bad links continuously.
Compared to other films, this movie is definitely missing the magical touch of Yashji even though it was directed by the great man himself... Throughout the film just never got the feeling that the film is actually a movie directed by Mr. Yash Chopra. Adding to that the music, easliy Rehman's worst till date and finally SRK's presence.... No wonder along with him, even his fans are termed as "educated illiterates"...
just leave ur brains at home and enjoy this total time pass masala from the king of p e r version n exp05ure total paisa vasool.. with some chumm@ ch@t1 scenes thrown in for voyeurism. SRK is helping the entire nation to stand up on its feet after it was thrown in to confusion by Akshay's OMG. one s0re point, in place of anushka spme old h a g shd ve been cast, like hema malini. hema n srk can burn the cinemas with their hot chemistry. ask dharm pa gee

That the numbers just don’t add up. Shah Rukh Khan doesn't look 28, Katrina Kaif 21 or Anupam Kher 50. The spectacle of a haggard-looking hero in his mid-40s strumming a guitar on the streets of London seems like a pathetic attempt to turn back the clock. This isn't Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge once more, although Aditya Chopra’s watery story tries very hard to reprise several key motifs.
That the screenplay has so many holes, after a point you lose count. When and how did a waiter from London join the Indian army, rise to the rank of Major and was allowed by his superiors to go around diffusing bombs without protection, just to defy death? How many bombs are there in Kashmir, sinc e the Major seems a very busy man? (His count by the end of the film is 108 and we aren't exactly in Iraq.) How is a rookie journalist let loose in high-risk situations without proper authorisation or even a basic crew? What happens to the father's character in the second half? And the army job after the retrograde amnesia? The list goes on...
That Gulzar's words and A R Rahman's music have never sounded so insipid. Given the confusion of the script it's hardly surprising. Despite the promotional blitzkrieg, one can’t recollect a single notable number. Madan Mohan’s unused compositions, rendered by Lata Mangeshkar’s tired voice in Veer Zaara were infinitely superior to Rahman’s original soundtrack for this one.
