It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.
The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
The acting in this movie is really good.
This is a silly movie. Super silly. And I loved it. Laughed through the whole thing. This is the movie that made me realize - if I like even the obviously crappy Bollywood movies - I'm seriously addicted to Bollywood. With certain movies, you just have to give yourself over to it. This is one of those movies.Here is how I would describe this film - caution - it does contain spoilers.Doofus bumbles through an underworld plot to take over the city. Includes a great transvestite dance sequence and an old man evil old guy dance sequence that is really worth watching. This movie is funny, IF you just give yourself over to it and allow yourself to enjoy it.
how could they i mean how could a talented actors like Boman Irani,Diya & Cyrus do this crap. oh god..Bollywood is going down with cheap humor & i don't have word now .wait let me find some....only Khans,Kapoors,Bachans & Kumars are taking it high...a movie like this is insult for every movie maker..how dare they..plus the plagiarism & worse music & all..errrhh..please save your self from this junkie films. .a time wast & pathetic story..0/10.this deserves no votes...000 thats my rating.worst movie ever
I love Indian movies, Bollywood, parallel cinema, and regional. It takes a lot for me to give only one star. Jolly Maker (Cyrus Broacha) trips and stumbles his way through life, leaving a trail of chaos and wreckage in his wake of which he is only barely aware. He is so clueless that he can have an entire conversation with a person who is bound and gagged and not have it cross his mind that they might want help. This is mildly funny for about 15 minutes, and after that gets irritating. The villains of the piece are wacky and never remotely believable. They are reminiscent of villains from the Batman TV show. Probably this is meant as a spoof of all bad silly kidnapping/evil villain shows, but I did not find myself able to read it as something that was "so bad it's good." Instead, it was merely so bad it was bad. Really really bad.
