    Good movie, nice ensemble.
    Liked the movie. Manoj Acharya did well in a role. Ayesha Dharkar was good and Shabana is as most of the time - pretty effective. Darshan Jariwala and family was a classic - though Chiched touch. Seema Rahmani, Kunal Roy Kapoor and Samrat Chakraborty are excellent. Ajay Naidu was superb - and Michael Raimondi acted very well in later half. The Bubbles expose was too good. The entire premise was very believable and well managed. the scene where Mr. Bokade checks the hotel room is Superb :) Manoj's acting is also good. Preeti Patel's characters have fewest of lines and a good length of character.
