Story: Balbir Sharma aka baba (Maniesh Paul), discovers on his 25th birthday that his father Charudutt Sharma (Anupam Kher), a timid cashew broker in Goa, has been moonlighting as a contract killer Charlie, for years! The two soon get tangled in a sequence of events that involve a cop, a fraud artwork broker and a couple of unhealthy guys (additionally unhealthy actors).
Review: Baba too is expected to observe in his father’s footsteps as that’s their ‘real’ circle of relatives trade. Meanwhile, a corrupt Home Minister, is busy hatching a dubious plan.
When you watch a complete supposed comedy with a straight face, there’s a big problem. The motion isn’t thrilling, love track is foolish, discussion insipid and a tale that is not sensible by any means. Nothing and absolutely nothing about this chaotic, multiple persona encumbered tale manages to stay you conscious, let alone amuse.
Its dated treatment, inconsequential songs and flashback, unimaginative writing, jaded narrative, overdramatic performances and loud background score, which is forcibly played right through, to evoke some humour, collectively places you off.
Since neither the tale, nor the acting (barring Anupam Kher’s), organize to carry your attention, you find yourself focusing on issues that are rather more inconsequential. For example, Kay Kay Menon, who performs an ACP, by accident grabs a man’s armpit (since he is tied upside down) throughout an interrogation scene and that is possibly the funniest scene within the film, which is purely unintentional humour.
Maniesh Paul will get to play the protagonist-narrator and he is taking himself way too significantly via rendering an OTT (over the top) performance. He performs a 25-year-old within the movie, appears 35 and acts like he’s 15. He’s a excellent host but acting is an altogether other beast and requires a definite set of skills. Manjiri Fadnis is pretty yet forgettable.
It pains to look actors as brilliant as Anupam Kher, Annu Kapoor and Kay Kay Menon, being a part of this foolish, loud and torturous comedy of mistakes that you simply care nothing about, sooner or later.
