Three childhood friends; Arjun (Hrithik Roshan), Imran (Farhan Akhtar) and Kabir (Abhay Deol); who call themselves The Three Musketeers, separated by their professional calling, decide to make time from their busy schedules for a bachelor road trip to celebrate Kabirs’ engagement to Natasha (Kalki Koechlin). The trip has only one rule – each one has to choose an adventure sport that all have to participate in, together.
Arjun and Imran are unable to let go of their troubled past, while Kabir is unsure about his future. Imran has an ulterior motive in visiting Spain while Arjun has a grudge against the notoriously mischievous Imran. Kabir, the nice guy in the gang, mostly plays the pacifier when not instigating naughtiness!
Enter the vivacious and charming diving instructor, Laila (Katrina Kaif – looking more gorgeous than ever before, if that was possible!). Easy going and charming with a contagiously positive attitude, Laila becomes an inspiration for the protagonists, especially Arjun.
Slowly but surely the camaraderie of the three protagonists becomes evident as they relive their childhood memories. Along the way they strive to face and overcome their innermost fears – both real and imaginary - together.
True friends accept you as you are; they are not judgemental; and they are the only ones who can joke about your most intimate and personal agonies!
Pros: Great looking artistes, stunning locales (a great advertisement to Spanish Tourism – I wouldn’t be surprised if Spanish Tourism has funded the project!), witty dialogues and the feel – good factor maintained throughout the movie.
Cons: Poor editing causes the narrative to stretch, indifferent music (apart from the foot tapping ‘Senorita’) and at times juvenile pranks.
Rating: 3* - I would attempt to summarize the entire (almost 3 hour) movie in a single line, a line that I believe is what the entire team of ZMND would like the viewer to take back with him / her: YOU LIVE ONLY ONCE, MAKE EVERY BREATH COUNT! A one time watch.
