The Plot
Karan, Chandu, Zing and Bulbul are 4 youngsters just out of college in Bombay, 1994. They are on the lookout for some easy cash and a big life full of glamor. They get lured by fast bucks and don’t hesitate in going illegal too. They cheat the customs by not paying duty by following some fraudulent schemes.
Then they shift to the US, follow the same policy there too. They try their hands in other types of shady businesses too and finally the law catches up with them and their leader Karan also becomes too egoistic, arrogant and he hardly respects his partners and family. He loses his business and friends.
Then he spends time in jail, realizes his follies and returns to re-unite with his buddies and this time they help Karan’s uncle resurrect his business in a legal manner. All is well in the end with the friends and also with Karan’s family.
Hits
- Shahid Kapoor though heavily inspired by SRK, is very boyish, charming and is the typical dude. He shows a lot of intensity and talent.
- Anushka Sharma shows her super-hot, sexy and oomphy side in this movie. Jaw dropping stuff-strutting from her. She is obviously a good actress too as we’ve come to know
- The chemistry between the leads is truly sizzling. Their lip locks are so passionate and up the heat factor.
- The 2 friends Chandu and Zing have their moments too. Good smart character artistes. The scenes where they are obsessed with girls and booze are funny. They also do well in their confrontations scenes with Karan when he becomes arrogant.
- Lovely peppy songs by Pritam, with maximum focus on groovy beats
Misses
- Since the movie is set in the mid-90s, it’s hard to believe the kind of language the friends speak, the kind of costumes they wear and the kind of facilities that are seen in all the locations.
- The schemes used by the friends are sometimes clever but very cinematic and hardly believable.
VERDICT
Decent heist movie in typical Bollywood style. Colorful Yash Raj extravaganza.
