I loved the first one. In some respects, and contrary to my previous beliefs, this one might be even better. The old farts are of superbly acted by a cast of amazing actors. The young entrepreneur is as goofy and loveable as always – cute story, nice Indian settings, a little dancing, blah, blah, blah. Yeah, he still has those goofy large ears, but he actually gets to marry Sunina who is a jewel in the rough as the expression might go. I couldn\u2019t help but imagine the two of them making love on their wedding night.<\/p>\n
