The film begins with the same Parsi old man narrating this very story to a young TV reporter.
His tale revolves around taxi driver Farooque( Rajpal Yadav), William visa wala( Subrata Datta) and other such troubled characters that get involved with the two for money.
Each has a legitimate reason to unintentionally hold the elderly man hostage.
Victims of circumstances, their plan keeps going awry until truth about the man surfaces. A low-key comedy of errors, the film works in the first half owing to the confusion, chase and running around. Rajpal Yadav doesn’t overact for a change and manages to hold the film together. Zakir Hussain as Gali Baba is equally effective.
The film intends to send out a noble message and manages to a certain extent but gets too preachy towards the end. The never-ending moral science lecture in the climax is uncalled for and predictable. A little subtlety would have made a whole lot of difference.
A simple take on surviving in Mumbai and true happiness - you won’t mind watching this one unless moral stories really bug you.
