The TV baroness Ekta Kapoor has teamed up with the Telugu duo Raj and DK for a new movie. This also has Sundeep Kishan of ‘Snehageetham’ ‘Prasthanam’ fame making his foray into Bollywood. Let us see how it is
Story:Set on the backdrop of Mumbai, the story is about three different individuals with different lifestyles.
Story:Set on the backdrop of Mumbai, the story is about three different individuals with different lifestyles.
Tilak (Tusshar) is a bootlegger and he has his aides in the form of Ramesh (Nikhil) and Mandook (Pitobash).
Their life takes a turn when they discover a loot in a local train. Then there is Saawan (Sundeep) whose aim in life is to enter into the Mumbai juniors cricket team. However, he realizes that fulfilling his dream comes at a cost, he must get the kind of money. Then there is Abhay (Sendhil) who considers Mumbai to be his home only to realize that he is all alone in this big bad city.
What happens to their lives? What does destiny have in store for them? All this forms the rest of the story.
Performances:
Tusshar Kapoor has come up with a delectable performance and it is a sharp contrast to the roles that he did recently. He fits the bill properly but then he should develop some more expressions on his face.

Sundeep Kishan has given an energetic and confident performance. He has ease, style, screen presence, so potential of getting future offers in Bollywood exist. He dubbed voice by himself perfectly fitting to the Mumbai nativity.
Sendhil Ramamurthy gives an impressive act. His natural abeyance with the character involves the viewer in a good way.
Nikhil Dwivedi was natural, Pitobash was good, Radhika Apte was ravishing, Preeti Desai hot, Girija Oak was sensuous, Amit Mistry was apt, Zakir Hussain was fabulous. The others did their bit as required.
Highlights:
- Screenplay
- Second half, especially the climax
- Performances by Sundeep and Pitobash
- Content
Drawbacks:
- No star power
- Songs
- Offbeat flavor
Analysis
At the outset, the film will come across as an offbeat flick that might appeal to the film festival and thinking audience. However, the makers were balanced enough to fill it with the right dose of humor and sensible storyline. There is a good mix of technical values and production quality while writing takes a front seat. With efficient performances, the film has some strength.

There is a good mix of technical values and production quality while writing takes a front seat. With efficient performances, the film has some strength.
On the flip side, given its serious tone there are times when the viewer tends to expect things to go easy. The climax might get some mixed reactions.
At the box office, the film has strong chance of scoring a hit with some decent promotion, for now, landing in profit zone looks very likely.
Bottom-line: Will make enough noise at box office
