Pappu can't dance saala


Just imagine…
A village guy meets a city chick, simpleton meets miss complicated, medical representative meets a Bollywood dancer- basically law of magnetism manifests itself & opposites attract!
It’s a good ol plot, where initial enmity transforms into some rom-pom romance! Vidhyadhar (Vinay Pathak) has come to the Mayanagri Mumbai as a med-rep leaving behind his family in Banaras, while Mehak (Neha Dhupia) has left her house in Kolhapur to make a mark as a Bollywood dancer. They both happen to be neighbours residing illegally at a sales tax colony, somewhere in Andheri. Due to some uncomprehendable reasons they end up staying in the same flat- all right the vigilance raid renders Neha homeless; but Vidhya cannot kick her out of his rented apartment- can’t fathom why!  Then on ensues a silly cat & mouse chase and cat & mouse in love game- and it’s not as good as Tom & Jerry!
There is also a never ending Biology class VII lecture on Menstruation, which tries too hard to educate the audience about the monthly cycle- result? FAIL!
Neha Dhupia & Vinay Pathak’s acting is the only thing that holds the film together. Then there’s Nasseruddin Shah in a cameo, trying to pep up Vidhya & doing some great “gyan” scenes trying to say that love transcends all differences & lo and behold our Hero is back in town to woo his lady love! Rajat Sharma is the new age choreographer who probably does karate chops as dance steps!
The film shows promise initially but falls victim to substandard plot & overused premise! The movie has nothing to do with Pappu’s dancing skills- but then what has apple to do with a mobile phone or orange to do with a network providing company? Well the movie is a jumbled up fruit salad trying to dance its way up to the box office but goes pear-shaped midway itself!
Pappu can't entertain saala!
