It doesn’t help that the singularly unattractive cast doesn’t have one acting bone between them, and that the film feels much longer than its roughly two hours running time.

The young gang is watchable, even if they are made to swap sense for a few broad laughs. The best of the lot is Chandan Roy Sanyal, so good as the dopehead in ‘Kaminey’. He stands out, even at his silliest.

The problem with F.A.L.T.U lies in its tone. It doesn’t know whether to unfold as a full blown comedy or take itself seriously by providing some gyan on the education system.

Most mistake their clothes for attitude. I just worry for the heavy icons we offer them, and lessons we dole out. Step into this employment exchange entertainment.

Stray bits of F.A.L.T.U feel sincere but the film is so staggeringly moronic that you walk out completely exhausted. I’m going with one and a half star.

On the whole, F.A.L.T.U. has an entertaining first half and an average second half. With hit music as its trump card and coming as it does after a dull period of no big releases (in March), it will prove to be an earning proposition.
