And yes! It was Friday again, and after watching its trailers and songs for last few months, I was quite zipped up to see this movie and so I booked the tickets online (with popcorn and coke of course).
So here I was sitting in the theatre all set to see the latest drama materialized by one Mr. Priyadarshan and his conglomerate.
So, there was Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan who had made one good hit “Hera-Pheri” and hundreds of others trying to replicate it. Few were fine and did make us laugh but this one is a total disaster! (Common, ek film hit hui, to you will make 1 million such)

The movie starts with the introduction of “you know who all” Priyadarshan’s zillion films flop flimsy cast.

A family headed by an old, helpless but scrupulous man with silently crying but never complaining wife (Aruna Irani).Whose entire family is a bunch of debauched yet successful sons/son-in laws.

Then there is our protagonist Akshay, a contractor who despite being true at heart is a looser. And we have Urwashi (flop Naqaab fame, remember Khatroon ka khiladi with Akky) playing the supporting sister who would later become the cause of Akshay's awakening.

Gosh even writing this makes me feel eeeeiw! How can he make that 80s film again! Anyways, continue...

If the plot is worth a TV Episode and it is stretched to a 3 hour film you can imagine how would you feel. Initially we see in the film that Akky tries to be corrupt in his own justifiable way. But fails every time as he is not actually “mean”.Later he realises he can not be currupt and hence decides to fight against it, Yes this is the obvious story which i figured out in 15 minutes. I wanted to get out of the movie but somehow I sat there as there is electricity problem in our country and you can understand the humid and hot weather outside.

The story lamely tries to attack corruption and bureaucracy. (Remember “Jane bhi do yaaaroon”) with Trisha Krishnan (Another import from the south) playing the “ex girl friend now turned municipal commissioner” who adds the misery to Akkys misfortune to both the character and to the movie.

The movie neither compels the audience against corruption nor entertains with the flimsy acts of pathetic comedy by Johny Lever and Rajpal Yadav.

One can only wish to get out of the film as soon as possible as the film crosses all limits of tolerance.

The music is the only good thing in the movie, but that does not mean we need to watch it.
I felt I was watching a flop boring play directed by Priyadarshan whose characters are the same as that of the last play playing similar roles shouting and irritating exactly the same way. My sincere request to Priyadarshan would be to have some self belief and don’t be afraid to use your brain.

I cannot remember the last time I was traumatized to this extent!
Ok I go to a movie hoping that it will be nothing spectacular, but this one - Oh my God!

My rating : 0 star (or even below it)

Coming Next : Udaaan (I have heard some good things about it)
