Release Date - 5th April 2013

Director David Dhawan well known as the King of  Comedies in 90's with his brand of slapstick comedy but later disappointed with sleazy comedies which was too B graded for new generation comedy lovers. For a change this time he scores full marks in casts relatively young faces and tries to remake a cult comedy movie of 80's.

The story revolve around friendship of 3 boys , Sid (Ali Zafar), Omi (Divyendu Sharma) and Jai (Siddharth) who are room-mates in Goa. Sid is more of serious type all siddha -saddha ,simple kind of character, while the other two  Omi and Jai spend much of their lives womanizing and having a largely carefree 'bindaas' kind of life.

In their neighbourhood,comes  Seema (Tapsee Pannu)  who runs away on her moped, from her Father (Anupam Kher) who is an Army Man and wants her daughter to get married to a Army Man. She drives straight to her uncle’s ( Again Anupam Kher - Twin Bro) home in Goa.Omi and Jai spot Seema and tries to whoo her one by one. Both fail but lie about the result, using ‘flashback to each other.

Their friendship is later challenged when Sid wins the heart of Seema .Jealous of Sid's romantic success, Jai and Omi pledge to break the two of them apart.

The story has the same flavour of the original, but with some comedy David Dhawan Tadka.The Movie does have some comic sequences and situational comedy scenes.
As far as performances are considered, Divyendu and Siddhart stole the show, Diyendu makes you laugh and giggle throughout the film, with his scintillating performance and oneliners His comic shayari and plain faced comedy leave you in splits, his one liners and shayari's were successful in audience's bursting in laughter. All these dailogues and oneliners are presented in David Dhawan style – loud and cheesy college humour garnished together by Farhad-Sajid’s brand of dialogues – puns and too much obeisance to cinema. .Zafar is more concerned about he how looks than emoting,Nothing from his side, all overacting.Tapsee brings freshness to the movie, good effort from her , nothing much for her in the movie.She keeps smiling all over the movie.

The story also have a interesting side plot of love angle between Rishi Kapoor and Lilette Dubey.Their onscreen romance look warm, Cute and credible, and gave movie freshness from its monotonous treatment.

Music is average, it has some good numbers like Har Ek Friend Kamina Hota Hai', 'Dhichkyaaon Doom Doom', 'Ishq Mohallah'. Although it doesn't have like a chartbuster song, but according to the genre it gives appropriate and perfect songs throughout the album

Rating - 3 Out of 5 

Verdict - Movie is entirely for Youth , Multiplex audiences gonna enjoy it, but it does lack the innocent comedy and Chamak  of the original. It hasn't given full justice to the original ,But Comedy Lovers should give it a try.
