I have to put this down so I make myself clear on why I found this movie 'ok at best'. The movie was funny in parts, however, it was sprinkled with a whole lot of disgusting potty humor. It made it seem as if, the only way we can have a mature Indian audience is by 'shocking' them by their definition of shocking which involves using a generous sprinkling of expletives, excessive farting, showing stool samples, hairy butt cracks, toilets in close-up etc. I wonder why a close-up of someone scratching his hairy armpit or picking his nose wasn't included. if talking about lesbianism, oral sex, infidelity in casual fashion is supposed to make your movie sound 'hip' or clichés like shoving a lighted dynamite up someone's rearside funny, i beg to differ. movies like snatch and lock, stock from which this borrows a lot like the explosion part, boris the blade xerox Russian, the paper bag used as mask etc. were funny not because they were crass. the themes of spoofing 80s b-movies, stylish (not any more) camera angles on stupid goons have all been overdone for more than a decade now, so last thing we want is another decade of these dated themes replicated.
