The Worst Film Ever

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Two jokers can't replace veterans like Ravi Vaswani and Naseeruddin Shah. Putting Salman's name in a movie, doesn't make it a masterpiece. Remaking a classic like Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron to a C-grade movie like O-Teri doesn't guarantee you a hit.When you are remaking a cult classic like Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron, you must keep in mind who all you are remaking. The movie that made Aziz Mirza a household name can not make Atul Agnihotri one, if he doesn't stick to the basics of film making.Honestly, O Teri is a complete disaster and a simply O Teri for cinegoers who went to see it. Nothing in the movie is worth watching and it s a complete time waste.

The publicity posters of the movie said, "From the makers of BODYGUARD" and that was enough to shatter any expectations from this projected comedy loosely based on the recent real life incidents in Delhi. Still I was willing to see something interesting made as a comic satire on the burning issues of corruption and political scams. But beginning with 2 horrible songs in the first 15 minutes itself along with few cheap double meaning dialogues and loud acting, my only hope got vanished quickly and then I was only having some quick naps in between this terrible forced comedy, good for nothing.Yet to give you a fair idea, O TERI is simply a deliberate & poorly written attempt which vaguely aims at being an enjoyable comedy as well as a thoughtful satire on the present system and its fresh scams. But the real truth is that a completely different, well read and visionary mind is required to make a satirical-comedy on the lines of cult classic JAANE BHI DO YAARON directed by Kundan Shah, which is simply missing in this confused, directionless and below average project from Umesh Bist.Taking its major inspiration from Shah's all time gem, O TERI is also about two good friends looking for a scandalous story for their TV program. Plus there is 'a dead body comedy' and 'a falling bridge' too straight away reminding you of JBDY. To give it a more up-to-date feel, the writers use the above mentioned plots in context of the latest 'Games Scams' in Delhi involving many known leaders and further try to give a social message too in a completely uninteresting climax making no impact whatsoever on the viewer.In short, despite having all the required ingredients of making a good entertaining comedy (also having a song on FB & Twitter), O TERI fails miserably due to a bad script, over the top acting and all avoidable social messages in which no viewer is interested at all. Its humour remains dull, the dialogues are overdramatic and most of the sequences are not able to generate any kind of excitement among the audience. So guessing the same, I lost all my interest in the movie from the beginning itself and actually felt sorry for Pulkit Samrat, whose career was really progressing well till this silly mistake. Moreover just like DISHKIYOON, here too I didn't stop to see Salman Khan dancing in a special number played along the end credits.

'O Teri' is a watchable political-comedy, that delivers some laughs in the goings-on. It doesn't offer the funniest script or the best of one liners, but what it certainly is, a decent one-time watch. 'O Teri' Synopsis: Prantabh & Anand, associated with a news channel in Delhi, are in search of a big scam to prove a point to their senior. One fine day, A dead body accidentally lands up in their car & their lives change for good. 'O Teri' is short & undemanding. It cleverly culminates within 105-minutes, it doesn't drag or takes itself too seriously. The Screenplay needed some more wit, but it sails off smoothly, at most parts. Umesh Bist's Direction is passable. Cinematography is good. Editing is ably done.Performance-Wise: Pulkit Samrat & Bilal Amrohi enact the unlikely heroes, admirably. Bilal, especially, does well in the comedic portions. Sarah-Jane Dias has two standard expressions from start to end. Mandira Bedi does justice to her part. Anupam Kher & Vijay Raaz are enjoyable, as always. Murli Sharma leaves a mark.On the whole, 'O Teri' A Fair Entertainer!

The Plot: O Teri is a meaningless comedy film inspired from the yesteryear movie Jaane bhi Do Yaaron. The movie opens with Prantabh Pratab aka P.P. (Pulkit Samrat) and Anand Ishwaram Devdutt Subramanium aka AIDS (Bilal Amrohi) partying in a nightclub.Both P.P. and AIDS are investigative reporters. They report to a female television anchor Monsoon (Sarah-Jane Dias) who consistently humiliates them and make them chase various scandals or scams so that they can boost their channel / programme's TRP. Her funda is, The public wants scandals and scams. If you have something sensational like stories on rape or dacoity, bring it to me, else do not show me your faces.These reporters end up doing one blunder after another. They find themselves caught up in a mess with a slain CBI officer's dead body being dumped into their vehicle. The situation gets worse further (absolutely in an unwitting manner) with them trapped amongst the vested interests of the corrupt politicians, greedy industrialists, corporate lobbyists, puppet bureaucrats, unethical female editor and fraudulent media houses and the dead body's appearance / disappearance act. O Teri takes a dig at real incidents / scams/ scandals through various characters : The commonwealth games scam, nexus between journalists, PR professionals' lobbying, sex scandal etc.Official Trailer:Direction & Written by: The director Umesh Bisht fails to deal with the concept. He along with Neeti Palta has written the same. The approach is very very distasteful. Cast and their Performance: Pulkit Samrat as P.P. has done justice as a stupid reporter. Bilal Amrohi as AIDS disappoints.Sara-Jain Dias as Monsoon is just fine.Vijay Raaz as opposition politician Bhanwar Lal Kilol, otherwise a great actor, is lost in this movie.Anupam Kher as Games organizing committee chief, and Mandira Bedi have nothing much to do. Music: Music is very average. Songs are absolutely misfit. Lyrics are awful. Moments to watch out for: None. Thumbs up: A dialogue by P.P. to AIDS: "When poor people steal, it is known as theft, but when rich people steal, it is called scam". Thumbs down: Difficult to sit through the movie.
