 Detailed Analysis:

  Sonam Kapoor is trying to do female centric films one after another. Her earlier such outings 'Khoobsurat' and 'Aisha' were mixed bag.

 Film is inspired from real life events where a con girl marries simpleton boys and then vanishes with their belongings next morning. One punjabi and one marathi film were made on same subject in past with minimum success. This time Arbaaz Khan set out to produce a film on same plot. Dolly (Sonam Kapoor) is con girl and her gang consists of Manoj Joshi who acts as father, Zeena Bhatia acts as mother, Zeeshan acts as brother but he actually has feelings for Dolly. Dolly cheats a Haryanavi guy Sonu (Rajkumar Rao) whose father (Rajesh Sharma) is also a guy looking out for women all the time. Then Dolly cheats a dozen guys which is shown as montage during a song. Then she tries to cheat Manoj (Varun Sharma) but his mother (Archana Puran Singh) refuses this marriage. In order to take revenge Dolly successfully gets married to Manoj but then same night Sonu arrives at the wedding of Manoj and Dolly. After this interval point, how film takes turns and twists forms the rest of the story. Robin Singh (Pulkit Samrat) is after Dolly but we find out in the end that he was the first love of Dolly and main reason behind Dolly's present state.

Performance wise Sonam Kapoor excels once again despite half baked script. She proves her worth in women centric film again. Rajkumar Rao is extraordinary and evokes laughter with his dialogue delivery. Varun Sharma is good, Rajesh Sharma is decent and Brijesh Kala surprises once again. Zeeshan, Manoj Joshi and Zeena Bhatia are good too. Pulkit Samrat is irritating as he tries to ape Salman Khan all the time. Archana Puran Singh overacts. Saif Ali Khan looks dashing in cameo.

Film has couple of good songs but none of those are chartbuster. Editing is crisp and cinematography is average. Background score is pathetic. Story was good but poor dialogues and screenplay spoil the game. Art department and costume department are average.

 Director Abhishek Dogra failed to make impression despite such a good actors at his disposal and poor screenplay especially in 2nd half sinks the film.

Film will release tomorrow and will get 1000 screens which will enough for such film. Film will find it tough at box office as there is so much competition in form of 'Baby'. And such films do find audience in smaller centers but will they turn up to watch this one over a gritty thriller is not a tough question to answer.

Go for this one if you want routine comedy drama!
