But Karan's plans for revenge are interrupted when he's ordered to work with Deepak (Saif Ali Khan), a famous actor training for his next role as a cop. The mismatched pair catch a break when they discover a crude dancer who looks just like Mona (Shetty again), and together they hatch a wild plan to bring Goli to justice.

User Reviews

Time-pass flick

I love this Movie. Akshay Kumar as Inspector Karan Joglekar and Saif Ali Khan as actor Deepak Kumar form the Dream Team. Shilpa Shetty's double role as Mona/Basanti. Kader Khan's double role is so hilarious. Shakti Kapoor as Goli, the Underworld Don kills Arjun Joglekar, Karan's brother. Shivangi as portrayed by Raageshwari, has the hots for Deepak Kumar. I love Deepak Kumar's disguises. Johnny Lever as Dhansukh, Deepak's servant is a real trip. I highly recommend this film. Goli's thugs decide to rob an amusement park as they call it "Disney World". Raageshwari is so cute and adorable. My brother loves this film too, as well as my aunt and cousin sister. This film is a doozy.
