As the

name and promos indicate ONE TWO THREE is a light entertainer to core.  No brain required for the entire 2.30 hours and the film will tickle your ribs for some time.   The movie falls to the Priyadarsan schools of comedy.  But it is different being a hilariously ’mad situational comedy’.
                    

                    

                    I reached late to theatre by 2 minutes where I was not expecting a huge crowd for this film.  However, to my surprise I have to settle with a last seat in the front row, just in the centre where me and the screen were distant by just 3 meters.  I went to the 8pm show where the 11pm show also booked fully.  So, I can see that people are rushing to theatre to see this light entertainer.  This I will account for lack of good comedies for long, but it will surely bring joy to the producers.
                    

                    

                    My Commerce department’s head’s name was Laxmi Narayan where I was wondering why people gave a name called Laxmi to males.   Anyways, with One Two Three, now I know 4 Laxmi Narayans…read further to know how.
                    

                    
Laxmi Narayan 1 (Thushar Kapoor) wish to become a ’bhai’.   To do that he want to prove himself by killing somebody.  His mother is always praying for him to get some good opening with few murders and gives her full support.   He was given a new assignment to kill.   Laxmi Narayan 2 (Suniel Shetty) is working in a company but his doubts keep him as an idiot.  If he is asked to sit, he will ask, on sofa or chair.  If we say on chair he will ask chair on the left side or right side.  If we ask him to get out, he will ask by the right side door or left side door.   The No. 2 was deputed to purchase a car for the boss’s wife.    Laxmi Narayan 3 (Paresh Rawal) starts his life by selling undergarments in the street.  With a look he will measure the sizes and by now he is an experienced salesman.  He started a new factory and his son has injected new life to the factory by giving promotions etc.  The father is deputed to finalise a deal to purchase the new model braziers and this bring Laxmi Narayan 3 to the same hotel where One & Two stays in.

Starts the Hungama, in it barge-in Jiya (Esha Deol) who do the designing of braziers,  Laila (Sameera Reddy) who is the owner of car showroom but unsuccessful.   Inspector Mayawati (Neetu Chandra) who’s duty is to appear where audience needs a break and give energetic dialogues in witty fashion.   A mockery Don, A Diamond, A lot of confusion and chase…that is One Two Three.

The newcomer Director Ashwani Dheer impress with the comedy.  Witty and brilliantly paced Dialogues are the best part of the film.   The Screenplay writer and Dialogue writer for the much advertised forthcoming film Krazzy4 proves more than a point with One Two Three when it comes to dialogues.  However, the scripting was not that good.  After watching the film I thought the climax before the interval was better than the final climax.  Repeated use of Left or Right by Sunil Shetty was bit irritating and at times even other characters start using the same wit means I thought if I have to exit, whether I should exit from right or left door.  It was mad after a point.  A lot of glamour was injected and a lot of skin is displayed by Sameera Reddy & Co.  

Performance by actors were all good, but nothing exceptional.  Paresh Rawal, Tushar Kapoor and Suniel Shetty suited well to the roles assigned to them, Sameera Reddy & Esha Deol were ok.  Neetu Chandra was impressive, but I was wondering what Upen Patel and Tanisha Mukherji doing there.   Manoj Pahwa, Mukesh Tiwari and Vrajesh Hirjee were good but Murali Sharma was wasted in an unnecessary role.  Overall, the director did nothing great to extract the best from the actors.

Camera work was pretty average.   Cinematography was again average in parts, good at some time and quite bad at another time.   In the beginning I was wondering is it because I am watching it from the first row seat.   Choreography was pretty average, except for the seductive number on Sameera Reddy.  Songs falls in the same brand.  So, the entire songs were planned and executed just to relieve audience from the mad race of comedy and they struggle to meet the demand.  Back Ground Music, a considerable factor when it comes to comedies was impressive in certain scenes but not throughout.  Editing could have been better.

Overall, the movie is an above average light entertainer but fall short of the tag ’Good’.  The first half was impressive where the second half was spoiled by repeated jokes which fail to tickle beyond a point.    Go to watch the movie if you are interested to see a mindless comedy which work at times.

My rating 2.5

The trailer of Love Story 2050 was impressive, but for the look of Mumbai in 2050…and for the concept.  Waw!!
