What can you possibly say about a film that has a long-haired Shakti Kapoor playing the police commissioner of a South African city? What do you think of a police inspector who gets ticklish every few seconds because two bullets permanently lodged in his stomach keep flirting with his nerves? Or a sidekick who sends out electric pulses with the touch of his hand? What do you think of an overweight, shrewish wife who gets fits of a compulsive desire to bump off her husband thrice a day? Of all things, 'No Problem' is definitely not a plausible answer.
Yash and Raj Ambani (Sanjay Dutt and Akshaye Khanna) [a pathetic effort at taking a dig at the surname] are two hoodlums who rob a certain Zhandu Lal (Paresh Rawal), who apparently owns a village in South Africa where even native South Africans speak Hindi. For no explained reason, Zhandu Lal joins these thieves in Durban as they hitch a plan to return the former's money. Senior Inspector (if you please) Arjun (Anil Kapoor) is a bungling cop ala Tinkle's Shikari Shambhu who keeps getting beaten up by his wife Kajal (Sushmita Sen) when he is not busying himself chasing the Ambani brothers. Somewhere in the corner of the story, a smuggler Marcos (Suniel Shetty) accompanied by a very garishly dressed Neetu Chandra is trying his very best to look cool - an effort as successful as Ravindra Jadeja trying to hook Dale Steyn for a six. And yes, there 'eez' Kangna Ranaut in the film too - but never mind 'thet' - you are 'femished' by the time you begin to 'fethom' what role she plays in the film.
Every element of stupidity in a film can be tolerated. But making a mockery of the thousands of lives lost in the Middle East to terrorism through crass and unfunny one-liners is not only unacceptable but also highly disgraceful.
Has anyone shown the makers of Mission Impossible-4 a screening of this mockery of cinema? I will be keen to know what they think of their much raved about actor cozying up to someone who looks very evidently transsexual, replicating a cheap joke that was not even funny in the 90s.
Even toilet humour has a certain class. A film that has a gorilla shoving a fart up a man's face just does not qualify.
hmmm....i will not agree to you completely...its kinda movie where you go keeping you brain at home just to spend 2.5 hrs of brainless, worry-less time....yes its not a super duper hit or very enjoyable movie .. but for a time pass i didn't find it that bad.... :-) -- Anubhav
