Weak story, poor direction and worse performances

[pramod-sub-imdb · 3/10 · 9 December 2008]

Rahul Roy plays Singhania, an industrialist who seems to spend all his time hitting on women. His son, Lucky (Hitesh Kriplani) has some kind of a woman-fear thing and so his dad brings in Sonia (Sherlyn Chopra) to help "build his confidence". If you're thinking that this sounds like a terrible movie, you're wrong. Its worse than terrible.

Rahul Roy's is an irritatingly poor actor, Rocky Sandhu as Sherlyn's boyfriend is inept and the non-existent plot and terrible direction only make matters worse. Sherlyn shows glimpses of competence and is very easy on the eye. The only good things about the movie are Sherlyn's in-your-face sexuality and Hitesh Kriplani's endearing performance as Lucky.

The movie is probably not worth your time.

A Satire

[colcam · 3 March 2013]

This is presented as an Indian format satire, the acting deliberately bad, the songs and dance the main thrust, with the kiss being "adult" content in India. To most westerners this is not a very good movie, but if you look at the Mike Meyers "Austin Powers" movies you will see the same deliberately bad performance, just without the song and dance.

The actors are playing for laughs, the story is written and directed to be an outside of India satire and farce, and on that level, it performs.

It is good for a laugh if you can accept the satire premise, if not, avoid it.
