TEAM AND PERFORMANCE:
Classic performances by Kunal Khemu, Boman Irani and Cyrus Broacha. Soha Ali Khan lends a hand too. Vinod Khanna does well in the cameo too. The pick of the lot is Mahesh V. Manjrekar. Superb timing,great accent and also comical expressions just makes you grin in almost of all Mahesh Manjrekar's scenes. The team is directed by Raj Nidimoru and Krishna D.K.The duo have done a great job.The cinematography has been handled by Rajeev Ravi well. Thumbs up for them.

The music of the movie is average. No chartbusters at all. The promotions of the movie were same too. Positive word of mouth helped the movie garner some response too. Average!

COLLECTIONS:
Suffered due to the disputes between the single screens and the multiplexes considering that the movie was meant for multiplex audience.

USP/WHY IT SHOULD HAVE WORKED:
Superb performance.This has been the norm of every movie posted in this B for...section. Watch it for Mahesh Manjrekar's splendid performance and also for Boman Irani's role.

Largely youth centric and for the multiplex audience. To add to this, Screen disputes between the owners.Poor timing and poor luck for the movie it seems. It should have worked.

Acting and the thrilling story. Hats off for their research.

4.5/5
