Debutant director Ashwani Dheer, better known as the creative genius behind the successful sitcom Office Office, goes awry when it comes to depicting comedy on the big screen. No-brainer comedies with a motley cast have almost always hit bull’s eye at the box office, but this one does not even qualify as a mediocre bone tickler because of its wafer-thin, unimaginative plot.

Based on the premise of mistaken identity, the screenplay, if you can call it one, revolves around three different characters from different walks of life who share the same name, Lakshmi Narayan. One is a wannabe don (Tusshar Kapoor), the second is a conscientious manager (Sunil Shetty) and the third is a lingerie merchandiser (Paresh Rawal).

Diamonds worth rupees 10 crores are stolen from a Don (Manoj Pahwa) and thinking that it’s his rival don Papa (Mukesh Tiwari) who’s the culprit, don number one sends Lakshmi Narayan one (Tusshar Kapoor) on his first ever mission to bump Papa off. Lakshmi Narayan two (Sunil Shetty) comes into the picture when his boss sends him to the same hotel to strike a car deal with Laila (Sameera Reddy) who owns a vintage car showroom. Lakshmi Narayan three (Paresh Rawal) who is a lingerie expert also lands up there to meet a budding new lingerie designer Jia (Esha Deol). To compound the confusion it is Chandu (Upen Patel) and Chandni (Tanisha) who have the diamonds in their possession. The stage is set for utter chaos, as they all end up meeting the unintended person.

To begin with nothing works in the film. The situations are clichéd and the dialogues rely heavily on sleazy one liners and sexual innuendoes to produce the guffaws. Of the cast, even an otherwise efficient actor like Paresh Rawal whose comic timing is perfect fails to lift the proceedings. Sunil Shetty is surprisingly irritating with his repetitive dialogues and the less said about Tusshar Kapoor & Upen Patel, the better. The girls in the film are wallflowers to say the least and Esha Deol needs a serious wardrobe and appearance makeover. The film is as inane as its title and it is sinful on the director’s part to pass this off as a comedy!

Stay away from this one if you don’t want to develop a severe headache. The E Now Weekend rating for this film is one star!
