Sanjay Leela Bhansali does it again! This time as a producer. Exotic lamp posts on a Mumbai road. A car catches fire in the middle of the road and silence prevails, all hunky dory, Prateik-Kalki fly high in sky caressing the clouds, rain of money causes a never ending traffic jam...My Friend Pinto.... And he is good to a fault, geeky but nice (where did we see this before....Hmmmm) and whoever he meets, ends up getting ’lucky’.
Prateik kinda smiles too much but is endearing. Kalki is hardly there while a bunch of loony bad guys in Makrand Deshpande, Amin n Karim Haji, missing-tooth-baddie make you literally search for the Exit door.
Music is hummable. Story, screenplay, dialogues and direction (what’s that!) are silly and the film bores you to Zzzzz.... After a point of time, I couldn’t stand ’My Friend Pinto’. Its better that you make friends with some quality sleep this weekend rather than forced sleep in a theater.
Star Rating 1 1/2 stars
