If you’re looking for a comedy, this one will put you off the genre forever. After duds like Oops, Khamosh and Fareb, Deepak Tijori continues in the same flow with his new film Tom, Dick and Harry.
It’s tough understanding what the film is really about, but here are some pointers: Two friends, one deaf (Dino) and the other mute (Jimmy), trying to make a living out of selling condoms; blind guy (Anuj) joins the gang— he flirts with transvestites and brings blown-up condoms to a kid’s birthday bash; a noisy fisherwoman (Kim) who jiggles her bosom (someone even refers to it as ‘Silicon Valley’, but she says “Yeh asli hai”) and over-zealously sells pomfret; an undercover cop (Celina) in various stages of undress; an over-the-top underworld don (Gulshan Grover) who looks more like the NallaSopara version of Dr Evil from Austin Powers.
The only thing hot is your own escalating temperature, once your patience wears off.
Amateurish screenplay, shoddy editing, non-existent story and toilet humour at its worst. Dialogues that were probably penned seconds before the shot was canned: “Tu degi toh main kyon nahin lega?”
Cinematography that’s patchy, blurry and jarring. Gulshan Grover taking jibes at Ram Gopal Verma, Shakti Kapoor propagating a sting operation and Bobby Darling rubbing a guy’s hand all over his/her body is Deepak Tijori’s idea of fun. It’s really sad to see actors like Jimmy and Gulshan agreeing to be a part of this embarassment.
Kim Sharma shows some spark, but the director ruins it by making her character crass. Dino disappoints after his last performance in Holiday.

a director — for ruining your time, money and sensibility.
