I finally managed to see this movie after it was out on DVD. The fact that this movie was made in mere 70 Lakhs and has made approx 8 crore of money really made me look forward to it. I mean , this movie should have something in it that everyone from common man to Madhuri Dixit has become a fan of Vinay Pathak and the movie.
There is a group of friends whose only stress buster is Friday night dinners where they invite an IDIOT ( you read it correct) and make fun of him. The idiot of course is oblivious to all this. Rajat Kapoor heads this group and is the one who usually looks out for this murga. This time fortunately or otherwise, he finds Vinay Pathak and invites him over to his place before dinner so that he can test him out. Till this point the movie is strictly okay but the real fun begns when Vinay Pathak arrives at his home.
Rajat's wife Sarika has just left him and he is in severe back pain and can hardly move. Vinay Pathak joins him in this situation and what follows is a laugh riot, mad caper, witty dialogues and hilarious situations. Small incidents like Vinay calling the wrong number, non stop bragging about himself, carrying his childhood blog, talking just about anything makes it a worth a watch. In short rather than Rajat making fun of Vinay Pathak, he ends up getting his Bheja Fried with all the nonsense antics that he carries.
There are cameos played by other actors like Ranvir Shorey, Milind Soman who act decent. Ranvir is strictly ok (for a change). Milind Soman and Sarika have acted decent. The two performances that stand out are that of protagonists Rajat Kapoor and Vinay Pathak with special mention to the latter. This is his movie all the way. Its difficult to imagine anyone else after seeing him in this role.
Go for this movie if you haven't. You will like it and may be after this your perspective that bollywood dishes out only crappy song and dance boy meets girl story might change.
