The original film was directed by legendary Italian filmmaker Vittorio De Sica. The 2010 film was roundly criticized for its supposed ‘humor’. The writing was found to be wanting in many areas and it barely got a laugh from the audience at any juncture. Even an actor with great comic timing like Akshay Kumar could not save the film. Reportedly the biggest fault of the film is that never really tries to entertain the audience. The Hindi film starred Akshay Kumar, Katrina Kaif and Akshaye Khanna in the lead roles. The film is today primarily remembered for Katrina Kaif's item number, ‘Sheila Ki Jawani’.
