This is definitely the movie of the year. Although, it may not have the big names, it has just the right "partners" that succeed in making this 35% to 200% story very believable.
Ranbir Kapoor is amazing as HP Singh Bedi in this career defining movie. He gets into character so effortlessly, it's difficult to imagine the Ranbir of Wake Up Sid, or Ajab Prem.... or even Bachna Ae Haseeno. Most importantly he plays a honest goody goody, utopian guy without irritating even a tad bit. Shahrukh Khan can't do such a good job...man this guy is here to stay.
And all the others with maybe the exception of his "easy to fall for the surd" girl friend play an equally amazing hand in this "team work" of a movie. Special mention to the porn loving engineer, the sales manageresque receptionist, the shaana sales manager and the PC assembling chaiwalla cum peon. Even Prem Chopra on his seemingly tottering last legs does a commendable job. HP's friends are practical (unlike his wake up sid friends) and resemble people like you and me and try their best to keep him on his two feet.
There is a lot of honesty in this movie, no double meaning jokes, no unnecessary sound effects to make you laugh, no marginalizing of any community, no terrorism, no bombs, a movie that I can relate with...and maybe you too can.

Ditto thoughts...
Although I beg to differ...SRK played an honest character as well in kabhi haa kabhi na.
@atlee totally agree with kabhi haan kabhi na... those were the early shahrukh days.... but doesn't seem honest any more
