The time of recession, when there is more firing than hiring & more bills to pay than checks to deposit. In such a wretched situation are our lead characters Jerry (Akshay Kumar) & Nik (Jhon Abraham) wherein Jerry has to look after his nephew, veer & Nik has a high-maintenance girlfriend Radhika (Dipika Padukone).
No job, no money & no hope:
the only way such a situation is portrayed in a Bollywood movie is by showing
sad looking protagonists at a bar trying to get drunk! How cliché! Then enters
their saviour Sanjay Dutt, who runs a recession-proof male-escort company, Desi Boys. From
then on till the intermission the movie is a costume party, Jerry & Nik
dress sometimes as police officers (Mumbai police in UK! & women go gaga!),
sometimes role-play male strippers & what not! But in every bachelorette
party they “lend” their services, the females dancing in the background seem to
be performing a strip show rather than our lead escorts!
As if the situation isn’t worse
enough, Radhika catches Nik “red-Handed” & breaks off their engagement
& Veer is snatched away from Jerry & sent to foster care. & now on
the movie is all about Moral-science! Nik stays in a caravan parked opposite
Radhika’s house in order to win her back (Tere ghar ke saamne- another Cliché).
In order to make Nik Jealous, Radhika goes on a date (yet another Cliché), with Ajay (Omi Vaidya),
who is by far the most genuinely funny character in the entire movie, irrespective
of the great garam-Masaledar Jodi of AK & John! Jerry goes back to complete his graduation in
order to make himself employable! Enter Chitrangadha as Tanya,an economics
professor who plays Strip-Pokery-revision-Quiz with Jerry! Obviously with such
a great Quiz mistress & revision sessions Jerry is bound to get his degree
& Naukri.
Do not strip if you get the rest
of the story right! Jerry gets back the custody of his nephew & Nik his lady
love.
It may be the male version of
Laaga Chunri mein daag, just a bit funnier. The movie has its witty bits; one-liners
& killer PJs that will make you laugh & keep you alive through the
movie.
Nothing lost if you decide
against watching it; nothing gained if you decide to watch it.
