Done right, it would have been the world’s first musical spy thriller. A solid, engaging plot would have been just the ticket for both the film and hard-working hero ( the leading lady mysteriously swings both ways : in some parts she seems very much a part of the proceedings, and in others just sleepwalking through her scenes). Shubhra Gupta, Indian Express: You get the feeling that somewhere along the way, in their intention to create a fun-filled, quirky ride, the filmmakers lost their way.
