Brought Down By Spacey's Incompetence

I have been so impressed with Dayyan Eng's films and expected to see something good when I went to watch his latest offering but sadly, the movie was a huge disappointment. Every thing was below par ( when I say that I mean compared to the standards set by Dayyan Eng himself)--- the humour is self conscious and falls flat even though the writer has made full use of sexual innuendos, the actors (the male protagonists) are all wasted and this is such a pity because we know all of them are capable of much much more, the women are ridiculous caricatures of the 21st century woman and the entire story line on which all this hangs seems terribly contrived and predictable.

Pritam's music is good; the song by Molly Hatchet is great but even this fails to lift the film. A comedy of this sort needs to be running on wheels not dragging as it does and at the end one feels as frustrated as one does at having to eat a collapsed soufflé.
