(also starring Govinda, with a special guest appearance by Saif's wife, Kareena Kapoor Khan).
This is an "anti-romcom" directed by Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK, who also directed 99, Go Goa Gone, and Shor in the City. Takes place in Los Angeles, but was partially filmed in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Saif and Ileana play authors, and Ileana has commented that this was a lot of fun to shoot, and also called for a very different style of acting than most of her films. Hopefully this will be a bit of a comeback for Preity, who produced a movie called Dangerous Ishqk this past year, which tanked badly and damaged her financial situation. Currently scheduled for March 28, 2014, opposite Akshay Kumar's Holiday, but I'm guessing one of them will probably move.

This is exactly the type of film that tanked Preity's career in the first place. Stay away from Saif and rom-coms!

Occasional risqué trailer with a few too many shots of Saif on the toilet, but overall quite charming. I think it will do well for him.

Ugh, bollywood why gotta be so racist? Hate that Asian massage parlor part.
Look glossy and I like Govinda as, a plastic surgery addict? And Kareena flipping the bird.

Second* song; Govinda rocking inspite of mediocre choreography.
*the first one ("Paaji Tussi Such a Pussy Cat") annoyed me deeply with its tune, and its apparent belief that giving the bikini-clad firangi backup dancers an ironically 50s retro vibe automatically made this picturization superior to all those other trashy picturizations with bikini-clad firangis. Can be found on youtube-Saif is quite good in it, FWIW.

I'm not a Saif fan but the trailer kinda won me over. : ) It looks different (stylistically? if not thematically...) and fun, and I like his cheeky acknowledgement of the elephant in the room (age appropriateness) at the end of the trailer. I like Ileana and I'm happy to see her succeeding in Bollywood! The song is an instant like, too (haven't heard the other one you mentioned, odadune). ETA: Kalki is kind of like quality-insurance for me, as I tend to assume she wouldn't be involved in something completely stupid.

Query: since they brought in Govinda, why not Kharisma, too? Bring back that dance team of yore!

Yeah, I think "well...young at heart!" is one of the best takes on that issue I've seen from the 90s veterans, and the basic premise of the character lends itself well to "middle-aged man with Peter Pan complex".
Romantic song: some horsing around in the bedroom, nothing terribly explicit that I could see in my skim-watching but you might want to shoo the children (if any) out of room before firing it up.
