99 Review

99 starring Kunal Khemu(sachin),Cyrus Broacha(zaramud),Soha Ali Khan(pooja),Boman Irani(rahul), Mahesh Manjrekar (AGM), Amit Mistry (Kuber) and Vinod Khanna (JC).Produced by Anupam Mittal,directed by Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK; written by Mr. Nidimoru, Krishna DK and Sita Menon. The movie,claiming to be a comedy/drama is extremely disappointing. It gets off to a pretty good start but the story fails to develop into an interesting one. The story drags on so much that you wish you had much better have stayed home and got your sleep on your comfortable bed rather than the theater seat. It offers quite a good laugh at the beginning but loses its charm as the story develops. The ending catches your attention after a lot of bakwaas jokes. The so-called comedy flick starts with the failure of Sachin(Khunal Khemu) and Zaramud(cyrus)'s duplicate sim card scams. Sachin and Zaramud, due to various reasons, end up messing with bookie bhai of Mumbai AGM and are stuck working under him, spoiling Sachin's ambitious plans of startin the best coffee hangout in Mumbai. Sachin and Zaramud are sent to Delhi,enter pooja(soha), to get back money for AGM from RAhul(Boman Irani) who is a gambling addict,with various theories about luck and signals and blah blah,and also with various debts and of course no money,beggin his fed up wife Jhanvi(simone) to take him back. All of them get invovled into various fixes wid money being stolen,ideas on how to get it back and so on and so forth. The ending is almost worth the money spent on the tickets,popcorn and your time!!but well it could have been better! The cast is so-so. Kunal Khemu's acting is pretty impressive considerin his previous ventures,soha ali khan is not worth mentioning. Boman Irani's charm was missing. Overall an ok ok on the acting front,with some good laughs by cyrus. Well watch it if you have maybe absolutely nothing else to do. A one time watch,hardly.
