Poor PR fails this spiffy entertaining spoof surrounding a typical Bollywood action hero and his tryst with murder.Anirudh Iyer’s creation has all the makings of a cult hit but the pre-release publicity was so ineffective that getting people into the theaters is going to be an uphill struggle all the way. Iyer’s narrative takes pot-shots at all things Bollywood and also scores much bigger hits on the media circus (Loud channel newscasters better described as toons) which highlights its own ineptitude by tagging it as breaking News. The plotting is a little wayward and characters may seem to be functioning in an unreal world…but then that’s mainstream Bollywood for you. Ayushmann Khurrana and Jaideep Ahlawat make the most of their screen time by playing it cool and working up a spoofy chemistry with panache.
