What's it about: Akshay Kumar is serious when he says that you might miss the link if you blink in this comic caper. There are so many characters, subplots and U-turns in this film that it might leave you a bit dizzy. Nitin (Akshay) and Ram (Sunil) are two friends trapped in their bleak jobs wanting to make overnight fortune and elope with their respective girlfriends Anjali (Katrina) and Manpreet (Sameera). Not knowing how to go about making their destiny shine, they decide to plot a kidnap that goes astray and lands them in a huge soup.
Chaddha (Paresh Rawal) and his son (Chunky) are equally desperate to reverse their debt-ridden status.
Promising not one but two suitors to marry off his son, Chaddha finds himself in a tight spot that he can't escape. This is just the basic premise, as the story progresses, a dozen-odd more characters are introduced to add to the chaos.
What's hot: Priyadarshan sticks to his formula and uses slapstick and loud humour to raise ample chuckles. His ensemble boasts of some of the funniest acts in the business Paresh Rawal, Johnny Lever, Asrani, Shakti Kapoor, Rajpal Yadav and Chunky Pandey. There's chaos and mayhem in the second half with everyone shooting off like rockets on autopilot. Using this pandemonium to his advantage, Priyan pitches these characters against each other in one ludicrous scene after the other. Akki and Sunil show great camaraderie and display amazing comic timing. Among the supporting acts, it's Johhny Lever who reminds us why he's ahead of his game. His ability as a jokester is above everyone else.
