he open the double door , anouches himself and then gets whammed by the door, then the two heros drag him into the room, just too hilarious,

That was my favourite scene! Well, perhaps not quite my favourite, but I have to say, from the moment he entered till the end of the film, my family and I were in stitches.

has anyone watched maine pyaar kyon kya....rubbish.....but the end scene with the left flanjee on the plane is direct from friends....i was very annoyed at the obvious copying.

reply

I know, they completely lifted the scene........it couldn't have been more obvious. That too from the last episode of Friends, which practically everyone in the world saw.

Yeah, the whole movie was eerily similar, unfortuanately as with many hindi films (I am thinking Chori Chori Chupki Chupki - Pretty Woman, Chori Chori - Housesitter, etc) although I tend to think in most cases the hindi film is about ten times better than the hollywood original.

I was a little disappointed by Abhishek's comedy debut (hmmm...actually would Bunty aur Babli be considered his comic debut? Whatever.) Although I still loved him to pieces in it I think he suits the more serious hero roles more perfectly, although perhaps I was just disappointed he was only in the movie for so short a time.
