So Raj and Pryia are happy after all.

Review:
I thought this movie was really fun. It was my first Bollywood on the big screen so that made it 10 times better. Shahid was beautiful as usual and I thought the music was really good. It could have used like 1 more number in the beginning because the first half was a little low with the music. The only thing I couldn't stand about the film was VIDYA!! She is a horrible actress and isn't even pretty. She can't cry, she can't dance, she's always bitchy, and she's stupid. I don't understand how she is even popular, she totally should be a z lister. But since Shahid was the real star of the film is was great! I would defiantly recommend this film to anyone who is a Shahid fan because there is plenty of great dancing and it shows he is still is just as good as he was in Jab We Met. It was a fun and light film and I really enjoyed watching it! 

Songs:
I think the best songs in the film were Aai Paapi (Tu Hai Meri Soniye) and Bakhuda Tumhi Ho. Although the Move Your Body in the credits was great too.
