With this, should begin an era of comedy which doesn't depends on dual meaning dialogues but rather sticks to the old saying of calling a spade a spade. This is a movie which has broken several barriers for Indian cinema. For the first time you feel if this really is a bollywood flick. It's not a movie which is thrilling or has an everlasting impact but it sure has the power to make you have a grin on your face for all those 102 odd mins. It presents before you a series of events and day to day life occurring, some of which you may have experienced in real and few those that can happen only to those chosen ones who seriously have a good fcuk up in their personal or professional life.
A bunch of gangsters after three men, who are caught up in the situation unknowingly and unwillingly, face all the odds and then turn the tide in their favour coming out as the champs. And on the way, what you witness is ups and downs which are hilarious in their own way. Mostly in India, a good plot is destroyed by poor screenplay but here its the other way round we had an average story but the way it was narrated and presented changed it totally.
Imran Khan was good, Vir Das as Arup was a dull character which showed flashes of anger and excitement here and there. He also had one of the best dialogues of the movie. The best of the lot was Kunal Roy Kapoor. He had the best dialogues, had excellent timing and his way of putting the real life emotions on screen was simply awesome. A part of this praise also goes to the character he plays who is not only a part of the mix up but is also aching in pain undergoing personal agony due to tandoori chicken he has from an unhygienic street vendor. The foodie doesn't realises that it's gonna turn into a nightmare for him and also for his bums. Poorna as Meghana was ok and Shehnaz as usual made your pop out whenever she was on screen. Vijay Raaz is his usual self and does justice to his character. In all, the coordination among the cast was great and no one let down by any measure.
Direction was good and he kept everything under control leaving almost no loose strings. Songs, which are already quite popular all over were placed very aptly. It was a commendable choice to keep songs in the background so that they don't interfere the flow of the movie and just reflect as a part of it. Excellent dialogues were an essential component to uplift this flick and they have been the key to success. Cinematography was quite good and several scenes were very well shot, especially the one where the ceiling falls down.
The movie as claimed by Aamir & company is only for adults and one should avoid watching it with parents due to a couple of scenes where you would feel extremely uncomfortable if you do go with them (and you would surely not want to miss the fun in those awesome scenes). Its not a movie for the masses and would surely do well in big cities and overseas. Rather you have this feel that Aamir has made this more with a global approach and he may even be eyeing for another Oscar entry (thought that would be bit difficult).
Overall a total paisa vasool and complete entertainer. Its not a landmark sort of flick for bollywood but its surely gonna change the course of the future of Indian movies. A must watch.
