Its a sad day when priyadarshan has to make a remake and that too a bad one. (of an English movie not his own south movie as he wants us to believe)

I must admit i really went into this movie with a lot of expectations and trust me thats not the only reason i found this movie to be bad.

For starters this movie is the remake (and a pathetic one) of the British film "Waking Ned Devine" which i saw years ago and was an utterly delightful movie that captured the essence of the English countryside.

As such this movie follows the same themes although the movie claim that the village is small consisting of 100-150 khidkis (homes) is not evident anywhere i must have seen at least that many or more people in this film. Also the false picture or racial mixture in the village was to hard to digest (a bloody drunk anthony in a small village in India talk about rubbish stereotypes and in fact there is more than one anthony in the same village wtf).

You cannot emphasize how many absurdities this movie has that are hard to digest even for a comedy. Seriously after Hera Pheri its all been downhill for priyadarshan.

Also what the hell is it with him and connected people it wasn't funny in hungama and its definitely not funny here.

The only reason this movie gets a 4 is because the acting is top notch and the cast of main actors do a great job i keep repeating it but i feel ritesh deshmukh has a bright future playing the average joe guy due his bad looks and good acting(lets not forget his politician father).

Also there are some genuinely funny scenes in the movie but this movie lacks any genuine original humour.

All in a movie making disaster but can be watched due to top notch performances of the actors and some genuinely funny scenes.

Watch it in the matinée or television debut though.(not wasting 200 bucks to watch it an inox)
