Well to say something about the movie... it may not be bang on target like Hera Pheri & Garam Masala but it does not miss the bus either. The movie is quiet entertaining. Priyadharshan himself claims this to be not a remake of any movie of his own or that of anyone else’s.. I am not sure of that but who cares whether its a remake or not... There are only 2 kinds of movies 1--> Good movies...2-->bad ones. Some how the movie makes it to the first catagoery.
This movie is about how far people whether rich or poor will go to make money. Although during some parts of the movie they say money is not important & stuff but come on AS IF U WOULD MISS A CHANCE TO EARN 1 CRORE.
The movie strats off with a leisurly pace but enjoyable way while introducing the various Characters involved in this movie. Paresh sells lottery tickets and is the only educated man in the village. One day he comes to know that one of his customers has got bumber prize of 1, 00, 00, 000 rs. Instead announcing this he plans to make that money his. He arranges a party where all of his customers has to give the lottery and then enter. 104/105 come to the party later he understands that a man named Anthony had not come there and he might already know that he has won the prize. so he goes there to congratulate him so that he will get the commision but finds out that anthony is dead. What happens after that forms the rest of the complex script.
The movie entertains most of the time with some typical priyadharshan kind of directing. Even the dull scenes are not completly boring. The dissappointing fact of the film is the sub plots . There is so many of them that u will eventually get tired. The twists are mostly satisfying.
On the whole this movie is a entertainment flick with some dull moments. I laughed at several occasions and found the movie not boring. This is the kind of movie which does not preach. Try this movie if u have already seen taxi no 9211... as there is no better movie than these two.
P.S , Warning :
This movie not being boring is an individual opinion & I dont want to be sued if u find it boring.
HAVE A NICE LIFE
