Honestly, it was an okay film. Not his best work like Page 3 or Fashion. The comedy felt a bit forced at times. But credit to him for trying something different. Ajay Devgn was quite funny though.

The casting was the highlight! Emraan Hashmi as the smooth-talking Naren and Omi Vaidya were perfect. It was a typical 'bachelor pad' story many of us in Mumbai could relate to back then. Simple entertainment.

Interesting to see it's his personal favorite. I remember watching it with friends in college. It was a decent one-time watch. More curious about his next project "The Wives" – that sounds more up his alley.

The soundtrack by Pritam was lovely indeed. "Do U Know" is an underrated gem. The film had a very early 2010s vibe. It's nice when directors have a soft corner for their less critically acclaimed work. All the best for 'The Wives'!
