Although the film serves as a charming introduction to audiences new to the Bollywood genre, those well studied in the history of Shah Rukh Khan movies will be most rewarded, since the screenplay and songs make dozens of references to his earlier films.

Rahul, a North Indian, embarks on a journey to Tamil Nadu to fulfill the last wish of his grandfather — dispersing his ashes in the holy waters of Rameswaram. En route, he meets a runaway bride hailing from a unique family down South. Can North and South reconcile in this cross-country love story?

What are critics saying?
The New York Times by Rachel Saltz
The movie chugs along for most of its 2 hours and 20 minutes searching for comedy and characters in a frantically overplotted story.
Shetty’s need to maintain his characters’ romantic heroism constantly grates against his depictions of their ridiculousness.
