What Worked:

You can say all you want about Salman Khan but the man does know how to deliver a romantic comedy no matter who is co-star is. However, we can say Asin played Salman's love interest well and we were getting tired of seeing Sallu with Katrina on the big screen. The "mamas" of the film delivered the comedy that had us laughing throughout and to top it off Pritam delivered fast music numbers and a slow melody sung beautifully by Rahet Fateh Ali Khan. All in all we can say this is one film we'll see again.

What Didn't:

We can say the movie had a few lulls in it but what movie doesn't? If you're expecting Ready to be a film like none other then you'll be disappointed. The film is for those that have come to love the traditonal fun family film in Bollywood. If you loved Hum Saath Saath Hain then this is for you if not we can say you'll be walking out of the theater after the first hour.

Slated or Rated:

Salman Khan, Asin and the rest of the cast leave us laughing and wondering what will happen in the next as he fools half the cast into thinking his family is wealthy. There's not many bad things we can say about Ready but we can tell you to get to the theater as fast as you can and get Ready for a great movie night!

Rating:
