Unforgettable clips:
  • Mallaika Arora's item number and her flabby tummy with stretch marks.
  • Anil Kapoor's goggles that split at the center and his painting of an ass on a horse.
  • Nana Patekar's dialog about how he needs a decent boy for his sister. He starts with it anytime.
  • Feroz Khan entry music - remix of instrumental 'Laila main Laila' and his 'abhi hum zinda hai'.
  • Ballu's (Nana's sidekick) popat-like narration of how he was beaten up by the dons and lost his leg.
  • The wooden cabin hanging from the cliff over some logs.
Pros:
  • Absolutely superb casting.
  • Some bizarre scenarios made credible.
  • Acting stalwarts.

  • Songs. Especially the start of song by Himesh.

Recommended if:
  • You enjoy movies like 'No Entry' (by the same director)
  • You do not crib about the lack of logic in bollywood comedies
  • You are not ashamed of laughing out loud at the silliness of the hero
