So, I went to the local theatres at the earliest convenience to catch this flick.
The movie: It's okay, I had a few good laughs, but nothing great. The content is for mature audience really. I'm surprised this movie is PG-13, it should really be R. The music: Well, given that this is a comedy movie, the music should not be taken too seriously. Music in these comedy movies just plays in the background, without getting too involved in the movie. And that is exactly the treatment it's received here. Although, Rahman's tracks have been used throughout the movie, the movie contains various other tracks not featured on the Soundtrack. The good: -Rahman's first Hollywood venture :) -Music used at some prominent places The bad: -Rahman's music is not the only music in the movie -Movie doesn't start with Rahman's music -Sajna, the song, is not featured in the movie, although, the theme can be heard -Kurukuru is not featured in the movie, bits can be heard here and there -Nana is featured in the movie, and also for the end credits Sure, from above, you can see that there's more bad than good, but I'm not disappointed. I'm glad I'm finally able to walk into any records store here in LA and pick up a soundtrack by Rahman and that I can hear Rahman's music in a Hollywood movie. Looking forward to more Hollywood ventures and some amazing soundtracks by Rahman in the future! Regards, Wasim
