Storyline

Fast-talking, shifty eyed Chief Minister is due for surgery but develops complications and passes away. He is whisked away by Yumraaj, the God of Death, to the heavenly gates, where the Minister must make a choice between Heaven and Swarg. Heaven did not seem too colorful, so the Minister chose Swarg, full of song and beautiful dancing women. Once in Swarg, he meets with Lord Indra, and sets about expressing dissatisfaction about the way things are run in Swarg. He then sets about creating chaos and division to the bewildered inhabitants, into creating a oppostion to Lord Indra, with hilarious and unpredictable results.

User Reviews

Horrible Movie!!

Please do not watch this movie! Unless of course you want to just torture yourself. The script has no class and lacks every aspect of humor. Its a very poor compilation of jokes from the existing literature by greats like P.L Deshpande (The Johnny Lever - opening sequence - "Who are you?"). The director has managed to produce a huge flop with an amazing cast. He could have done so much better with a good script! The script is full of clichés and old predictable jokes. The film is presented as a spoof but spoofs are clever. Comedy is hard and not every ones cup of tea. This review might seem a bit harsh, but its needed. If people start appreciating such films, it would be shameful and injustice towards people who really think through a film script. I really really want to know who funded this film. I bet there are better scripts waiting to see the light of the day. Give them a chance. Bad bad film!! Amazing cast!! Dumb Direction!! Waste of time!!
