Vishal Malhotra gets a decent role this time and does an adequate job (but sometimes he's a little over the top). I usually find Om Puri terrible in comedy but here he and Himani Shivpuri are fun to watch. I still can't get that scene out of my head, where she, as the semi-stoned psychic Haseena Bano Jaan, tells Shahid's Raj 'Shake those booties, babe'. Her scenes provide some of the best LMAO moments. Of the supporting cast pretty much everyone does a good job. Aside from her wardrobe, she looks good too. I almost gave up on Vidya Balan after seeing her ghastly performances in 'Bhool Bulaiyaa', 'Lage Raho Munnabhai' and 'Eklavya'. If Shahid is copying Shahrukh's acting style, he's doing quite a passable job of it but a copy will always be a copy. Kapur's Raj Malhotra has Shahrukh Khan written all over it and the actor acts almost exactly like Khan minus the raw energy and natural spontaneity. This time Mirza introduces a refreshing pair: Shahid Kapur and Vidya Balan. The script draws inspiration from Hollywood films like 'Three To Tango' and 'Two Weeks Notice' but it's not a scene by scene ripoff. 'Kismat Konnection' isn't exactly an original idea. I've always liked his films, especially those starring Shahrukh Khan and Juhi Chawla, because they have a unique charm and quirkiness and I love the fact that the story of his films usually revolve around the common man and his problems. Aziz Mirza makes a comeback with 'Kismat Konnection'.
