Another film that does not live up to its hype! And yes, it is another one of Shahrukh Khan productions that revolves around him (especially the second half) in an attempt to showcase his histrionic abilities. He is our superhero; the perfect son, lover, brother, friend, charmer, dancer, and action hero (does the last bit sound like some kind of joke?)

The film begins with a television interview of the Indian General (Kabir Bedi). All hell breaks loose in the studio when his ex-colleague cum friend Raghavan (Suniel Shetty in a weird looking wig and getup) decides to gun him down. The reason being, Raghavan opposes (someone please tell us why!) the General's attempt at creating peace between India and Pakistan. In the bargain, our superhero, Army Major Ram Sharma's (Shah Rukh Khan) father (Naseeruddin Shah) is gunned down. Before he breathes his last, he tells his son about his wife (Kirron Kher) and son, Laxman (Zayed Khan, who looks like he is straight out of the zoo).

Is that why Ram joins college and pretends to be a college student? The reason is more than personal. He has been assigned the duty of protecting the General's daughter, Sanjana (a cute and wild looking Amrita Rao), who is also studying in the same college with Laxman. Lucky, as Laxman is known on the college campus is one of those cool dude sorts whose attention every girl vies for (including our petite Sanjana).

The first half of the film is fun especially the confrontation scenes between Ram-Lucky. Had the film stuck to the college campus romance and comedy, and mother-son emotions, it would have certainly been more enjoyable fare.
