For a story that is not really novel, this movie would have been much more exciting with a wee bit more confidence and craziness. Nevertheless, it’s definitely worth one watch for a good laugh.

The second half is far more gripping and keeps you involved as you witness thousands of our helpless countrymen battling for survival during that dreadful night. We have all heard of the tragedy but watching it unspooling in front of your eyes is bound to disturb you — and also highlights the apathy of the government towards the safety of its citizens.

The good looking bunch of actors with decent performances (Hooda and Hashmi stand out) managing-to-keep-you-hooked kind of script and a fairly laidback, easy, not in your face direction (Rensil D’silva) could have made this film wonderful, but for the dialogues.

It is sure disappointing that a film which gives you hopes of being an intelligent, witty satire, ends up being as predictable and soppy as the film it intended to make fun of.

…while one understands the logic of keeping overdrawn emotions in check, a little more elaborate climax would have given a better kick. Watch it for the pleasure of watching two goofballs, Ranveer Singh and Govinda, together.

Luckily, just like the lead character Ashok, the camera (cinematography by Amol Rathod) doesn’t capture the country like a typical tourist would, but more like one who treats it as a comfortable home with all its flaws. Worth watching once.

Wish there was more subtlety of desire and less in-your-face lust and sex. However, Mehta deserves huge credit for tackling a subject of this kind — the sensitive issue of petty politics curbing freedom of art and expression has been dogging us for centuries and continues to do so.

With the story of three lecherous old men, the movie had every possible chance of crossing the line and becoming tacky and vulgar — and sure enough at some points it does too — but thankfully, director Abhishek Sharma and writer Tigmanshu Dhulia don’t allow the thin line between funny and smutty to be blurred too often. The end result? A fairly enjoyable film.

No idea why the still-so-charming Rekha took up this role — to think she did something similar, but of course, not such a regressive film, ‘Khoon Bhari Maang’ back in the 80s. If you love Rekha, watch her earlier films instead and choose to ignore this one as a terrible mistake.

Those who love Bollywood for its quirks and idiosyncrasy, will like this film. If you tend to take life and films more seriously than that, watch something else.
