Warning: Spoilers
Went into watching 99 with least expectations and was amazed with what it had to offer.The title as it suggests... the movie is setup in the year 1999 also with the protagonist who believes his life is on 99.99 is the number most characters are stuck on.. because its the century that makes it worth it.

Kunal Khemu (Sachin) and Cyrus Broacha (Zaramud) are friends who work as "Line Wala"(watch the movie to understand the Terminology) and have to work for Mahesh Manjrekar(aka AGM a Bookie) against their

Wills.The first half of the movie focuses on how both land up working for AGM.Boman Irani(Rahul) a gambler and a Sort of a Banker by profession gambles and loses.AGM sends Sachin and Zaramud to Delhi for recovering the money the fun begins...

Now for the performances Vinod Khanna(JC-Bookie) the senior-most of the lot in a small and minuscule role is a perfect fit for JC.Soha Ali Khan(Neha) is s pretty good 5-star hotel receptionist who goes for a coffee with her guests without leaving the hotel.Now the star performers....Kunal Khemu and Cyrus Broacha steal the show with the perfect Camaraderie that just leaves you with no option but enjoy the fun.Sachin believes that The "bhojpuri" element in the movie is something that seriously adds to the humour.

A any season movie and way better than most no brainer's bollywood usually comes up with ..99 portrays humour in a very real way.Kudos to the Team for making this one.Can simply say the best comedy of the last decade..and a very underrated movie. Go for 99 and feel the nostalgia that stays with you...and makes you watch it just that one more time again....Kyonki Taliya Woh Ek Run Ke Baad Hi Bajti Hai....
