Tanya and Sapna are best of friends and living together with each other since college days. They hangout together, indulge in male bashing et al. Tanya is totally against the entire species called ''men'', well she has her reason for that and keeps Sapna away from them. Tanya takes care of Sapna like a baby, does street kick-boxing in the night while Sapna is sleeping, so that Sapna can pay her rent etc. Well, Tanya, who works for a diamond merchant has to leave town for 15 days. She arranges for a stupid looking & annoying gay to take care of her ''baboo'' Sapna while she is away.

Day one: So the ''really annoying'' gay takes Sapna clubbing and there she meets our hero Rahul (ahh, its such a cool name), the son of a well-to-do family who run a shipping company & whose folks live in London. Anyway, Rahul makes his move on Sapna, posing to be the gay's boyfriend (playing ''safe'' you know) Day two: Clubbing again, where Rahul tries to get ''smart'' with Sapna, he confesses that he is straight. Guess what follows? Yes, she cries for giving her a ''dhoka'' and takes a taxi back home (havent we seen this like zillion and one times in movies?) Rahul follows her & begs for apology and all, none of which is considered by Sapna. Day Three: Rahul starts following Sapna and shows her his ''deewangee'' by blowing kisses at her & sketching her picture. Thud! Sapna falls for him over the sketch. Day Four through Fifteen, they have fun.

On her return, Tanya gets the shock of her life when Sapna tells her that she is in love and she is so happy. So now what does Tanya do? Obviously jealousy creeps in & Tanya decides to indulge in all that, which would prove that Rahul, like all men are meant to be hated. Seduction attempt, Vamp plots to not let the lovey dovey be alone together, Faking phone calls, Mysterious masked Kick-boxer assaulting Rahul by throwing ''mirchi'' powder into his eyes and all follows. Rahul by now starts to get pissed BIG TIME at Sapna's best mate.

Don't know from where, but he has 'heard' that this best friend and she are more than friends and are lesbians. Sapna breaks down at this and confesses ''jo bhi hua, ek hi raat hua. mujhe chod ke mat jao. hum log final year mein thay jab humne bohot pee li thi ...'' A long scene of the girl-friends making love to each other in the next, complete with really unwanted-funny-and-loud moaning (echoes anyone?). Next morning, oh my god, what did we do? Ok, keep lets keep it in the closet and still be best-friends, no physical bonding and drinking together. deal. Back to Rahul and Sapna's melodrama, A shocked Rahul forgives his love.

Ok, so now Rahul starts having dreams of the girls making out, so he needs to get his 'baby' out from that house. Arranges for his mom to come down, fixes quick dates and asks Sapna to move in till they get married in three months. Tanya obviously wont let this happen, she cries and goes down with fever, She even tells her about how she was sexually-abused in her childhood by a neighbour, Sapna decides to stay back. After taking some more shit, Rahul asks Sapna to make a choice between him and Tanya (not before, abusing Tanya a lot and accusing Sapna to be into it too). Sapna gets angry at the ''Sacha'' Rahul and lets go of him.

Rahul wraps up his business is to leave for london in three days. Sapna goes & cries in the arms of ''very happy that they broke-up'' Tanya. But wait, Rahul manages to slip a note into Sapna's hand that he will be leaving in four days, not three and wants her to see the true-colors of Tanya. So while Rahul hasn't left yet, a drunk-on-happy Tanya makes sexual moves on Sapna and Sapna is ''shocked'' and now believes Rahul, tells Tanya that she hates her. Tanya locks Sapna up and goes to kill Rahul. Before killing Tanya makes it a point to ''shock'' Rahul and the audiences by confessing she is a lesbian (OH MY GOD!! we are so shocked) So a ''Ya-dishum-dishum'' fight scenes ends with Tanya missing her shot at Rahul with a knife and falling straight down from this high building.

The end, Thank God!

There, thats the movie. Thought I'd save your time and money (not that you would'nt anyway) but then for the heck of it.

? Ashish Caudhary proves to be a novice actor, no surprises.

? Amrita Arora with her long nails and short dresses has a long way to go in this shifted career of acting from a MTV VJ.

? Isha Kopikar looks GOOD and wastes herself once again, expressions seemed to be genuinely inspired from Urmila Matondkar in Pyar Tune Kya Kia.

? Skin show, we have it all the movies, we dont need no Girlfriends to do it.

? Music is pathetic, lyrics oh please.

? Camera work, yeah right, good for a semi-porn movie.

? Radical sexuality is portrayed funnily or as if its evil.

? One question: what were you thinking Mr. Razdan when you wrote and directed this movie?

Do I really need to say more ?! Not recommended.

My reason for watching this ?! I was REALLY bored at 22:30 after a bad time with my best-friend (not a guy, thankfully) and this was the only new movie playing at 22:45, I needed to punish myself for my stupid behaviour, and boy I punished myself good.
