It aims to be another "Dil Chahta Hai" or a "Zindagi Milegi Na Dobara". The glitch is that it tries to rise beyond the limitations of its script with a bunch of actors who are likable and competent performers, but not brilliant artists and bonafide moviestars. Furthermore, the direction though effective, is not astute or shrewd enough to transform a light- hearted screenplay into a memorable film. While *beep* does have some endearing scenes and crackling dialogs, there are also an equal amount of scenes and dialogs that seem puzzled, forced, and deliberately contrived. At the end of the day, its the effervescent, versatile, and gorgeous Richa Chadda who seamlessly steps in to save the day in her somewhat restricted role. Her abrasive lingo and unabashedly brash attitude serves as a perfect antidote to the clueless foursome's pleasantly goofy but sometimes annoying display. Perhaps, if the makers had decided to churn the film within the limitations of the script and talent on offer, it might have been a more entertaining prospect. Sometimes, less too can be better.
