Story is simple and execution is also just ok. Acting wise I did not find anything great about the movie. I am still confused as to how a gay guy can suddenly have sexual feelings for a girl. A few comic moments during the whole story bring a smile but thats about it. The whole climax is very filmy and does not work for me. It is kind of cheesy, to be quite honest.
Overall just a ok timepass movie. Just about average. (5/10)
