The movie's plot revolves around 3 (and a half) stories. One, the story of three friends who are lukkhe bambaiya one of whom has a business of printing pirated books (ethically btw) and who help each other out in times of distress and how they steal a bag from a local train to find a couple of desi guns and an AK 47/56 along with a bomb and their rather funny adventures. Two, a struggling cricketer who wants to marry his girlfriend but doesn't have a career yet since he hasn't been selected in Maharashtra team coz he doesn't have the money to grease palms. Three, a US Return entrepreneur being harassed by some local bhais for extortion. And the half story of the pirated books printing guy (from the first story) and his relationship with his newly wedded wife. And as you would have guessed it, all the stories meet towards the end to complete the picture, even though the protagonists from the 3 stories never meet !! I'm more or less sure that you wouldnt have got a clue of the stories even after my mention here. And to be honest, the movie is not about the stories per se, its about the relationships, the hardships, the funny moments, the crying times and everything in between.
The best part about the movie is that it doesn't try too hard to do anything. It doesn't try to be too funny or too emotional or too apologetic or too 'oh poor baby'ish anywhere. It keeps its balance perfectly and doesn't let you get bored through most parts. Especially the story of the 3 friends and their adventures is very interesting and more than 60% of the 'goods' are delivered in that part particularly. The directors do a perfect job and managing the overall pace of the movie. No where you get that 'arey yaar ab yeh thoda zada ho gya' feeling. It just flows so smoothly that you hardly notice the time. Though i still think that the NRI story could have been done slightly better and it gets boring for say 15 minutes in the middle but quickly picks up its pace in the second half and a power packed climax. All's well that ends well i say.
On the performance front, i think Pitobash (who plays one of the 3 friends from the first story), Take him out and the movie would have fallen on its face. Tushar Kapoor does a decent job as well along with the girl who plays his wife. Hmmm, on second thoughts, even apart from the above mentioned, all the other guys do a good job and nowhere you feeel that such and such person is a miscast or somebody else could have done a better job. Everybody plays one's part exactly the way it should have been played. One of the finest overall performances after i guess Rajneeti last year
Music is brilliant along with the background score. Especially Saibo and Karma is a Bitch (or what ever the song is called). Saibo has such a soothing feel that you feel like listening to it on loop all by yourself sitting in the balcony with no one to disturb, One of the finest songs this year with no 'too much sufi-ish' feel. Just about perfect. I think hardly anybody would be able to hold on to their shoulders while Karma is a Bitch plays. It has that groovy feel that brings a smile on your face when it plays. I couldn't find any problems in any other department too given the fact that the movie went soo smoothly that i hardly noticed anything great or bad.
Overall: A Definite watch this weekend. Watch it for the immaculate direction. Fresh Treatment and Amazing performances.
Feel-O-Meter : 7.5/10
