Story:
A flashback formula, the story begins with Bunty (Aditya roy) who is in love with Tanya (sudeepa) and even she is also in love with him. However, when the topic of marriage comes, he keeps going back. The reason for that happens to be his parents Kishen (akshay) and Mala (aishwarya). The parents keep fighting like mad and that causes a fear in Bunty's love life. However, their marriage anniversary is the turning point which ends up in a ugly fight and Bunty decides to do something about it. He wants to go back in time using the time machine developed by Tanya's father (randhir) and go to 1975 so that he can change the hearts of Kishen and Mala when they were young and also make them fall in love. Whether he is successful in this or not forms the rest of the story.

Presentation:
The director has come up with an excellent storyline and though the presentation was good, he could not give the punch with his narration. The dialogues were alright but the script was written weakly and the screenplay got affected. Background score was good and three songs were perfect. Cinematography was neat. Editing was alright but could have been better. Full marks go to the costumes and art department to take us back to that era. Akshay Kumar comes up with a spirited performance and he makes his mark. Aishwarya was equally good and scores. The real revelation was Aditya Roy who has shown a strong potential and proved his mettle despite two big stars. Sudeepa was sweet. Randhir Kapoor was good, Neha Dhupia was okay. Om Puri and Kirron Kher were waster. Rajpal Yadav was hilarious. The others did their bit as required.

Conclusion:
It is not an easy task to come up with movies that talk about time travel and yesteryears. However, the maker has attempted to give a decent treat. But then, it is the writing which could not keep that flavor on. While the first half is just about okay, it is the second half which makes up for the flaws. The pace in the film and the performances from the cast leads to an effective result. At the box office, the openings will be very strong but the good result of 'Golmaal 3' will have an effect.
