The most prominent was, why do first-time producers blow up their money on such meaningless scripts?
Don't they value their money?
If they have so much in surplus, they should donate it for a better cause.
The film left me so confused, I couldn't find a good beginning for my review. Not always does a lot of comic confusion develop into a good film like Angoor, Chupke Chupke or Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron.
Sometimes, they end up like Dil Bechara Pyaar Ka Maara. Let me give you a glimpse into the film.
There are three friends -- Sanjay (Aslam Khan) wants to become a businessman, Deepak (Vikaas Kalantri) aspires to become a singer and Vinod (Aman Sondhi) wants to rise above his 12th man position in the cricket team to become a top batsman.
They fall in love with three girls, who -- for some reason -- want a businessman, singer and cricketer for spouses. But a problem arises.

While the boys try hard to become what their girlfriends want from them, there is a fourth character, Tundabhai (Rajpal Yadav), who is in love with all three girls since they were in Standard I and he in Standard 11. He wants to marry at least one of them.
Huh?
The performances are not worth a mention. Even Rajpal Yadav goes over the top in certain scenes. He is the only actor who seems to be acting, the others simply mouth their dialogues.
Chaman Chindi (Shahzad Khan, the late Ajit's son) plays an ISI agent from Pakistan. Expect a liberal dose of Pak-bashing, as the director proves his patriotism. In one scene where Chaman Chindi is eating hungrily, someone says, 'Khane do bechare ko. Garib bhooke nange desh se aaya hai.' Are such awful dialogues necessary?
Writer-director Onkarnath Mishra shot the film in 31 days, with two months post production. I wish he had taken more time and made a better movie.
