Well, I would say I wasn't prepared for this. It was a houseful for 'The Dark Knight Rises' and I was in a mood for a movie and only Ekta Kapoor's latest release was available. It had already been publicized as an adult comedy-my only mistake was expecting it to be a little mature too. Sadly, my raised hopes after 'The Dirty Picture' not only cost me 200bucks but also a brain fuck of 2.5 hours. A complete Macho-di, only that here it's your brain that's involved. Not even Suckru, the only funny(even if plagiarized) character in the movie could do much good.
The movie is so extremely full of the already read, forwarded and shared jokes from two years back that you'd most probably end up quite frustrated with your own attempts at forced laughter. And the worst part, if there was any space for worse, is that they've all been thrown randomly, regardless of place or context because, and pay attention for this is the big one, THERE WAS NO STORY AT ALL. So forget the fucking order, after all Ms. Kapoor has her own definition of the word 'adult movie'. She failed to realize, and strangely no one bothered to inform her, that it's not essential to be racist/homophobic/sexist in order to make an adult comedy or any comedy for that matter. So the 'adult comedy' exhibits a strange type of characters who will swear without restraint but can't come out with the term 'lesbian'. Tusshar's reiterating "Tum wo ho","Tum wo nahi ho" is so tedious that you actually wish you could slap the dialogue/script-writer across his face. In fact the movie could be a strong contender for the most senseless, crude comedy(??) of the year if they had such category at the Oscars.
But since a review demands that I tell you something about the "story", here it is. Adi(Tusshar Kapoor) is a struggling actor who falls in love with Simran(Neha Sharma), who also happens to be his lucky charm as predicted by a tarot-cards-reader(So original na!). Meanwhile Sid(Riteish Deshmukh) falls in love with Anu(Sara Dais) at a fashion show. Anu's father Marlow(Anupam Kher) is duped by a Con-priest Baba 3G(Chunky Pandey) into believing that a female dog is his mother while Suckru, Sid's pet dog, his father. And after that, there is no story, so no need to bother yourself about any potential complexities of plot. Of course ALL the songs were forced and that, to the extent that you could hardly trace any visible link between the story(God! I hate using this word over and again) and the song-in fact a part of me has started believing that Ekta has taken the word "deep" a bit too seriously. Someone can try digging links at the microscopic level.
Altogether, neither the extra A in the first word of the title, nor the Ekta Kapoor hallmark 'K' could save the movie from being a huge disappointment. If only she had concentrated so much on the script the movie could have passed as an average!
