User Reviews

intricate plot delivers the laughs

I watched this movie because I'm an Akshaye Khanna nut. Although I was sad to see he wasn't in more scenes, clearly it's better to have a supporting role (with top billing!) in a good film than the lead in a bad one.

The plot of this story has so many twists and turns that whomever wrote it should get a literary award. The way the characters are linked together is truly clever and hilarious. I think this movie is 10 times funnier than Hera Pheri.

And, none of the actors disappoint! How great is that?

Very entertaining. 9 out of 10
