This super-saturated candy-coloured offering, borrowing heavily from #ComedyOfErrors #Angoor #Hungama, etc is dangerous to your eyes and brain. Rohit Shetty has obviously run out of tricks as he continues to use the same old tired formula to woo the audience already beleaguered by thankless #Bollywood fare. To add to your woes Siddarth Jadhav’s facial contortions is the only acrobatic circus act you can get here. Ranveer Singh’s electric man persona is so lusterless that one wonders why anyone would pay money to watch the uninteresting act in a circus. It's better suited to a believe-it-or-not episode on TV. His attempt to channel his latent energy into a staid double act doesn’t add up either. Deepika Padukone’s item number does nothing to raise the bar on excitement here. The once-ever-dependable Sanjay Mishra gives his worst performance here and even Sulbha Arya and Johnny Lever look out of sorts. Pooja Hegde looks rather insipid and Jacqueline looks more cartoonish than real. It's pitiable that even Varun Sharma fails to get a laugh out of you. The writing, screenplay, direction, and comic timing are so woebegone that the film feels rather flat, forced, stilted, and passionless.
