'Once upon a time in La-La land..' is the right opening for Tees Maar Khan. Though the movie attempts to be a really funny spoof, what happens is a sad case of misnomer through the film. The audience was really not amused by the two-odd hour film which at times seemed an endless saga of totally mindless nature. Copied quite a bit from the famous Vittorio De Sica movie After the Fox, the film has got a lot of elements which is absurdly similar to the original film.
The acting is over-the-top, to say the very least. Katrina Kaif has little to do but look good and dance well. Akshaye Khanna and Akshay Kumar have made it a point to put in so much of hysteric slapstick that it is not funny at all! Farah Khan intended to get the point across that India has become a place for wannabe Oscar winning filmmakers, and though she did, she made it obvious that she was not thinking too much while making this movie, because ultimately the film just becomes a drag, and the first half is pretty much unbearable, thanks to Akshay's brand of loud, rash comedy that does not appeal to most.
