‘The concept is simple, brilliant, failsafe, unique and
guaranteed to work,’ says Anand Pawar (Kunal Kemmu) an
honest Charted Accountant but looser in life, to Raj
Chopra (Paresh Rawal), a veteran film Producer with no
money, heavily in debt as all his previous films have been
flops..
Anand and Raj team up and hatch a plan to raise money to
produce a feature film and then actually make it for a
pittance. They plot to make it so badly that audiences
will reject it on the first day of its release, which
would give them a foolproof chance to decamp with the
remaining invested funds.
Anand Pawar becomes so greedy that he decides to cheat on
his own girl friend Neha Chattopadhayay ( Soha Ali Khan)
who is a small time theatre actress. Anand cast her as a
main heroine in the film so her acting ka keeda will be
over in one film.
The idea is to raise a lot of money for the project and
then make the movie on a shoe string budget, thereby
saving on money. By ensuring that the film is a flop, the
duo gets to keep huge amount they have raised for the
venture.
The proposed film which is
scripted by Johnny Lever is a hash of Sholay, Dilwale
Dulhaniya Le Jayenge, Gadar and Lagaan put together. This
film turns out to be a huge hit and Anand and Raj are now
faced with the prospect of sharing the profits with the
financers.

All they need to do is raise 100 Crore from various
financers and produce the film in 5 Crore. They would then
make a film that will never work, a film that will be
hooted out on the first day itself and run away with 95
Crore.
They want to become instant millionaires in the shortest
time possible.
An infallible plan. To make a FLOPBUSTER they rope in
Super star Aryan Kapoor (Sonu Sood) as a the lead in the
film, they also rope in Parvez Asharraf (Johny Lever) as a
writer, who is Pro Pakistan and many other weird and wacky
actors, director, music directors for the film.
There are some funny sequences and if you just drop your
guard a bit then this film turns out to be very
entertaining, though it has some unwanted songs, its okay.
Kunal Khemu as the honest accountant is growing as an
actor, Soha Ali Khan has no meaningful part to play, while
it is Paresh Rawal as the shifty producer and Johnny Lever
who steal the show. Sonu Sood is passable and plays the
SRK-Hrithik-Amitabh type of superstar. The glamour girls
Hrishita Bhatt & Deepal Shaw have very little time on the
screen..
Surprisingly, it is a good comedy in recent times and
those viewers accustomed to the film making style of
Bollywood will like this one. A mindless caper, manages to
amuse.
