Thank God

The conceit born of a human suspended between life and death, embracing reform and turning over a new leaf, is a familiar one. We’ve had versions of it both in Hollywood and Bollywood, but I’m hard put to remember one which is as dull and pointless. Devgn gets several opportunities to deliver his trademark smirk, while waiting for the obligatory ‘Singham’ reference, which shows up soon enough because the very svelte Singh is a cop by profession. Malhotra leaves little impact. The very mobile Ms Fatehi comes on to do a shake-and-jive, but sorry, no soap.The wonderful Seema Pahwa and Kanwaljeet Singh are wasted. As is our time.
