Running Time : 172 mins

Two friends reunite to visit their friend Rancho (Khan) at their old college, where their teachers frowned upon their attitude towards work and life as they chose happiness over the expectations of their families. Rancho was responsible for teaching them not to do what others expect of them and instead to follow their dreams or run the risk of facing suicidal tendencies due to pressure from those around them.

This fun comedy drama will no doubt divide many people into three camps – those who absolutely love it, those that think it’s over rated, and those that though it was just okay. Personally I’m in the last camp, finding that there were moments of old school slapstick that were quite funny, but that some of the characters were on too much of a pedestal to feel real. Worth watching, and there isn’t that much singing throughout, with what there is being relevant and not just random.
