Review:
I'd gone to see this movie with certain expectation. After watching the entire movie, all those expectations were thrashed out. Yet for me the movie (as an entire package) was just fantastic.
On the performance front, Nana as usual was GREAT. To my surprise, John was not very behind. But the benchmark of performance was certainly Sonali. Sonali Kukarni was on the screen after a long break and with a bang.
On the screenplay and story front, it was amazing. The story is about Nana (a cabbie) and John (son of a millionare). Both of them think that they are the King of Mumbai. Both in their own way are characterised are arrogant and 'sanki'. The story takes them through the worst day of their life.
The first half of the movie, were the premise of the movie is laid, has some hilarious moments with 'mast' dialogues. The other half was the part that actually detoured from my expectation. Especially, the end was such which may certainly have made a few go and reach for their handkerchief.
Before the release of the movie, I'd heard all the songs. On first look, the Bappi Lahari song, ''Boombau Nagariya (Living In The City)'' along with its club version and ''Meter Down'' with its Rock n Roll version were the only songs that I considered as HIT. But after watching the movie, now I think that rest of the songs, including, ''Ek Nazar Mein Bhi'', ''Aazmaale Aazmaale'' and ''Udne Do'' will also do well on the charts.
In the end, I must say that the movie had a message and I believe it taught me something about life. Overall, the movie as a package was really ''PAISA VASOOL''.
