The movie tries to be different from the masala Bollywood flicks and also from some of the critically acclaimed movies, but that is where it goes wrong. There is no third category of movies. Movies, typically fit into two buckets - either a brainless masala entertainer or a well thought out acclaimed one. This is neither. The plot doesn't lead anywhere. There is no conclusion, no purpose to the movie. What the director intended to do is highly questionable.
The movie takes you back to the 1980s depicting life in a Goan hamlet. Multiple characters are thrown into the movie - a young widow (Deepika) who lost her husband (died of choking on a wedding cake) on the day of her wedding, her mother-in-law (Dimple), self assumed queen of the hamlet, mother-in-law's precious cat, an old painter (Pankaj) with an eye for fat women, an old postman (Naseeruddin) who is in search of his love of yore and a young lad (Arjun), who was once in love with Deepika. And all of them come together to find the postman's long lost love.
There are those moments in the movie, which make you laugh frantically - some dialogues, scenes involving the cat, the scene in which Pankaj makes a painting of Dimple. But all said, the movie doesn't have a plot to engage you throughout. Nevertheless, music is intermittent and is soothing to the ears.
Also, making jokes out of dead cats travelling in a car and on a man shot accidentally in the head and who gets automatically thrown out of a car into a pond while the other occupants are engaged in a melodramatic conversation is not in good spirits,
Having seen the trailers and going into the movie, one would expect a full fledged comedy, but the movie disappoints on that front. Go and watch the movie if you are a hardcore fan of Deepika. Else, you might give this movie a miss.
