Puerile to the core!

Jyothi Venkatesh

The film revolves around an innocent cook (Abhay Raichand) who works in a military camp and dreams of creating his own army with nine people. Amidst all the chaos of training these people, he falls in love with a female choreographer (Riya Deepsi) and wants to achieve her at any cost, as he feels that it will help him in shaping up his destiny. However, the 'key to his destiny' has been literally eaten by a dog. The cook and his army are in search of the dog and so are a comic mafia guy (Rajpal Yadav) and his troop. What follows is a roller coaster ride of finding the key and who will eventually get it.

The tragedy of the film is that it has no plot at all and is just a whimsical putting together of several gags and toilet humor which stinks to a large extent. The less said about the actors, the better. The film is unfortunately tacky and there is nothing coherent at all to hold the film together and requires to be trimmed by at least 20 minutes to make it taut.

While Abhay Kabir Raichand looks perfect as the hero to the T, Riya Deepsi shows some promise though her role needs her to pout all the time. Rajpal Yadav looks like a misfit and hams his role going overboard while Dinesh Hingoo is too loud for comfort. The direction by Praful Tiwari, who incidentally is also responsible for the trashy screenplay, leaves a lot to be desired. He ought to be sent to a crash course in both writing as well as direction.

To sum up, I’d say that it is a torture even to sit through a tiring film which is downright puerile to the core.
