They say men are from Mars and women are from Venus. But what happens when a man from Earth meets a woman from Venus!

Milap Zaveri?s breezy rom-com begins with a spoof on the Hindi film industry just like Om Shanti Om with Riteish playing SRK, Vishal Malhotra playing Shreyas Talpade and Ruslaan Mumtaz playing a superstar ?Desh? just the way Deepika Padukone played ?Shantipriya?. OSO?s maker Farah Khan also makes an impressive cameo as she is the director who Rajesh Parekh (Riteish) and Kaushal (Vishal) assist.

24 year old Rajesh and best friend Kaushal are perpetual losers as both are kind of chick repellants. Why, because Rajesh is too simple and Kaushal too horny. The two keep envying Desh?s popularity and his craze amongst the female population. One fine night, a gorgeous girl falls from the sky and lands straight into Rajesh?s arms! To everyone?s surprise the girl (Jacqueline) happens to be from Venus whose mission is to find her true love on earth, just like Rajesh.

Riteish, Vishal and Jacqueline all three render impressive performances and are the saving grace of the film. Where Riteish and Vishal have perfect comic timing, Jacqueline looks every bit a woman from Venus. She is gorgeous, pleasant and a confident performer. There is no naivety in her performance. Her Hindi too is surprisingly decent.

What disappoints is the sloppy script. The idea between alien-human love is interesting but the story doesn?t materialize as we would expect. The dialogues are corny, characters clich
