Desperate times call for desperate measures; and it was nothing short of a desperate measure that led me to watch this excuse of a movie. In fact watching the movie gives you a sense of paranoia. What if the IT dept. is keeping an eye on my movie habits? Watching this movie is a sure hint of excess and disposable wealth.(not true sadly)
Nothing justifies watching this movie but in my defence it was the only show playing and I had to kill time. Anyways the movie is all about Akshaye Khanna and Paresh Rawal playing dad and son who have nothing else in the world but to take care of each other(Akshaye Khanna plays a CEO of a mall(?) and he is and engineer with just 3 years of work ex!!, some career move that!!). Om Puri plays a lustful divorcee on the hunt for a new wife. Together he and Paresh play out some of the most distasteful jokes I've seen on the big screen ably aided by a foul mouthed Archana Puran Singh.
The movie has an interesting premise but fall flat when it comes to developing a real story out of it. From one numbing joke to the other the movie drags on for a never ending 2.45 hrs before Naseerudin Shah makes a cameo and puts you out of your misery.
How Priyadarshan is able to convince actors such as Akshaye Khanna, Paresh Rawal, Om Puri,Shobanaa (from Mitr- my friend) and more importantly the Producer to do this film is beyond me. The man must be a marketing genius.
So if you are planning to catch this movie consider options such as:
Cutting Nails
Changing Cells of your Wall Clock, T.V.Remote etc
Writing your name with you left hand
I'm sure you'll find these activities more rewarding and satisfying than spending a good 3 hrs watching this film.
