Worth it for Actors,Dialogs and script

I liked this movie a lot.I know i made an another but i want to restart.I want to start with negative ones.The comedy was annoying.Veeru,Navneet,Johnny,The kid,Aamir(In a few scenes)were irritating and could have been cut.before the scenes where Karishma scolds Aamir for beating up those guys for criticizing her till that scenes the movie dragged.The very handsome Mohnish Behl is hardly there and could have been deleted.Karishma is less annoying than usual(Meaning she acted immature 2 scenes).Now the good points.Karishma is an actress who i don't appreciate(Except for sexy looks).I say she is overrated.In this movie she gives an amazing performance.The only good performance of her.She sucks big time.Aamir gives an amazing performance too.Archana who has a lot of negative shades in her role does a great job.Others are great too except Veeru,Navneet and Johnny and the kid.Direction is brilliant in a lot of parts.The music ,I LOVED IT.A fabulous musical score.Cinematography is excellent but it gets sloppy in a few scenes.Script is excellent.Pardesi song was a key part in the movie i\which showed the feelings very well."Kitna Pyaara","Aye Ho Mera Zindagi""Pucho Zara Pucho "brings in the feel good mood of the movie.THE MOVIE IS A WATCH.But make sure do fast forward the comedy ones they are annoying and unfunny
