I watched this movie nth time with my dutch friend. We have similar kind of taste. Then I realized he didn't like the movie at all. I would like to highlight the following facts for a non Hindi speaker. The acting is intentionally over the top.
It's a spoof movie. Spoofing many of the cliché Indian movie scenes.
Do not watch if you can't understand Hindi. This movie simply can't be translated. The film have so many rhyming dialogues which can't be translated to other language while maintaining the humor. The movie has dialog which feel funny to Hindi speaker but not to Non Hindi speakers.This I realized with my dutch friend.
This is the reason I don't watch Korean comedy films although I'm a huge fan of Korean movies. The humor gets lost while translating.

Don't watch dubbed version - Not for non Hindi speaker
This comedy has a script !!!
Its a spoof, its an intelligent comedy, it has some a pathetic action and choreography (and mind it, it is intentional), good hummable songs, good performances by the entire cast, brilliant by Amir, Salman and Paresh and over all an script which is so rare in Indian cinema that too in comedy (watch David Dhawan, Harmesh Malhotra etc). Story is of two wastrels whose only aim is to get rich and famous by any which ways. They come across one such way when they find out that a rich NRI is coming India to get married. Rest of the story is about oneupmanship and how these wastrels try to out wit each other. Entire cast is perfectly cast right from Deven Verma till Viju Khote. Songs are rightly placed and are funny. Surprise package is Salman who acts with perfect timing and this particular act gave him his style of comedy.
All an all a fum film which you should not ignore if you like and watch Indian Cinema.
Funniest Indian movie of all time.
This movie is simply excellent. For some reason it wasn't a success at the box office in India. In New York, however, I have yet to come across a person who disliked this movie. This is definitely the funniest movie to come out of India. Everyone gives a good performance; Amir Khan; however, just takes over and puts the movie over the top.
