STORY: Recovery agent Teji and model clothier Jinal dream of making it big in showbiz. Both win a price tag to a well-liked awards show in New York where they get an opportunity to showcase their ability. However, they quickly realise that they are mere pawns within the hands of match manager Sophie, who wants to show her boss a lesson.
REVIEW: Director Chakri Toleti in his Hindi directorial debut takes audience behind the scenes of a well-liked awards show and tries to elicit laughter by laying naked the drama that is an intrinsic side of showbiz.
Teji (Diljith Dosanjh) and Jinal (Sonakshi Sinha) set out to live their goals after they get an opportunity to be part of a Bollywood awards night and showcase their ability. But, little do they know that the awards show manager, Sophie (Lara Dutta), has selected them from among thousands and thousands of contest entrants, in spite of being horrible at what they do, most effective to embarrass her boss, Gary (Boman Irani), and wreak revenge on him for not giving her the due.
Enter, the show’s anchors, Karan Johar and Riteish Deshmukh (taking part in themselves), who throw their weight around and force Gary up the wall. That’s not all; Karan has an evil twin, Arjun, who wants the former dead. Reason: Karan’s movie, 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’s success resulting in Arjun being wrong as Karan and nobody taking him severely as a gangster.
The in-jokes concerning the industry are lots and Karan and Riteish carry their A-game to the movie just like their acts at awards displays. In truth, Karan has one of the crucial best possible lines and entertains together with his double act. Sonakshi Sinha plays Jinal with earnestness and stocks a heat camaraderie on screen with Diljit Dosanjh, however either one of them have little or no to work with on the subject of their characters. Boman Irani is wasted within the function of Sophie’s boss and Lara Dutta makes essentially the most of what's on offer. The movie also drags in some puts in spite of cameos from Salman Khan, Rana Daggubati, Aditya Roy Kapur and Sushant Singh Rajput.
The laughs are few and far between and most scenes and dialogues which organize to tickle the funny bone contain Karan and Riteish. The largest let-down is the script and the various tracks within the narrative don’t all the time come together as an entire and appear contrived. The visible results within the movie also are cheesy, to say the least. Actual footage from the awards show doesn’t mix in seamlessly with the parts that have been shot later. The movie will have to have sounded clever on paper because it doesn’t take itself too severely and makes an attempt to recreate the irreverent tonality, characteristic of the banter at award displays. However, it doesn’t all the time organize to hit the bull’s eye.
