Ek Se Bure Do is the story of comic escapades of two
friends Tony (Arsad Warshi) and Titu (Rajpal Yadav),
small-time con men who are equally fascinated with
money. They are constantly swindling the Don Jagat Dada
(Govind Namdeo) to make quick buck. They are in debt of
the Don, and then one day he tells them about a map he's
heard of which reveals the location of treasure.
Don Jagat Dada gets Tony and Titu to steal the map from
the Archeology Department in exchange for peanuts. The
friends disguise themselves as history professors, get
hold of the map, but also realize the value of the map
just in time. Then they decide to con the Don, and find
the treasure themselves, and what ensues is a chase to
find these two guys who are hiding in the house where
the treasure is hidden.
It is the journey that takes them on a hilarious ride of
ups and downs, and eventually leads them to the lovely
ladies Gahna (Anita – Natassa) and Payal (Tusha Pandey).
Director and writer Tarique is below the mark with
faulty foundation of the basic story, which would have
worked about a decade ago. Even the funny moments and
jokes are dated in scene after scenes. Music is just
average.
Also being underutilized are other actors like Govind
Namdeo, Yashpal Sharma, Virendra Saxena. Okay, here
Vijay Raaz and Razzak Khan impressive in their parts.
And if all this was not enough, there is an item number
that has been picturised on the new item-girl on the
block Brinda Parekh. This dusky beauty was last seen in
Madhur Bhandarkar's Corporate.

Tony and Titu fall head over
heels for the ladies, and do win them over, As they are
cunning enough to outsmart Don Jagat Dada, how they face
the consequences form rest of the story.
The usually talented guys Arshad Warsi and Rajpal Yadav
are loud and appear artificial. A fine actor and even a
fine comedian in Munnabhai, this circuit disappoints here,
while Rajpal Yadav is shown romancing a girl who looks
half his age. The writer is puzzled how both these
talented actors have wasted their talent (make hay while
the sun shines?).
Rest of the performances are ordinary., while the girls
Anita and Trisha Pandey have tried their best and just
pass of as okay in this film.
There are scenes ‘resembling’
the gone by films 'Jodi No.1' and ‘Andaz Apna Apna’ and
finally the film maker seems to be ‘inspired’ from classic
comedy film 'Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron' for the climax. What is
missing in Ek Se Bure Do is the freshness of comedy films
which we see in those being released in these times,
except for very few moments of genuine comedy which
otherwise is a nonsensical comic film..
