Critic Reviews
99 starring Kunal Khemu(sachin),Cyrus Broacha(zaramud),Soha Ali Khan(pooja),Boman Irani(rahul), Mahesh Manjrekar (AGM), Amit Mistry (Kuber) and Vinod Khanna (JC).Produced by Anupam Mittal,directed by Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK; written by Mr. Nidimoru, Krishna DK and Sita Menon. The movie,claiming to be a comedy/drama is extremely disappointing. It gets off to a pretty good start but the story fails to develop into an interesting one. The story drags on so much that you wish you had much better have stayed home and got your sleep on your comfortable bed rather than the theater seat. It offers quite a good laugh at the beginning but loses its charm as the story develops. The ending catches your attention after a lot of bakwaas jokes. The so-called comedy flick starts with the failure of Sachin(Khunal Khemu) and Zaramud(cyrus)'s duplicate sim card scams. Sachin and Zaramud, due to various reasons, end up messing with bookie bhai of Mumbai AGM and are stuck working under him, spoiling Sachin's ambitious plans of startin the best coffee hangout in Mumbai. Sachin and Zaramud are sent to Delhi,enter pooja(soha), to get back money for AGM from RAhul(Boman Irani) who is a gambling addict,with various theories about luck and signals and blah blah,and also with various debts and of course no money,beggin his fed up wife Jhanvi(simone) to take him back. All of them get invovled into various fixes wid money being stolen,ideas on how to get it back and so on and so forth. The ending is almost worth the money spent on the tickets,popcorn and your time!!but well it could have been better! The cast is so-so. Kunal Khemu's acting is pretty impressive considerin his previous ventures,soha ali khan is not worth mentioning. Boman Irani's charm was missing. Overall an ok ok on the acting front,with some good laughs by cyrus. Well watch it if you have maybe absolutely nothing else to do. A one time watch,hardly.
stars-Kunal Khemu (Sachin), Cyrus Broacha (Zaramud), Boman Irani (Rahul), Mahesh Manjrekar (AGM), Soha Ali Khan (Pooja), Amit Mistry (Kuber) and Vinod Khanna (JC). Directed by Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK; written by Mr. Nidimoru, Krishna DK and Sita Menon; director of photography, Rajeev Ravi; edited by Cheragh Todiwala; produced by Anupam Mittal and Aditya Shastri; After a long wait from new releases due to the multiplex strike...I was hoping 99 would be a breath of fresh air! and it did not disappoint!99 is a typical bollywood movie with multiple plots and a mixture of comedy-adventure-romance-music. Though for a hard core bollywood fan, it may seem a little dull! As the songs are just ok! All in all a good movie! Especially after such a long break! The story follows sachin who is college dropout (street smart! sly defining him! full of ideas, Implementation being the only problem.)And his friend zaramud(basically a fool) who are luckless scam artists, going about doing nothing but joblessly pulling fast ones on people! The twist arises when zaramud with his stupidity lands them both in trouble. In walks AGM! The boss. Who asks sachin and zaramud to go to Delhi from Mumbai to recover some of his (agm) money. Where they are taken for a long gala ride! In Delhi there's a girl for Sachin, pooja. A gambler who owes everyone money rahul and various high and low profile characters .Rahul and Kuber truly stealing the show! The movie now goes into this unpredictable and hilarious mode, truly one of the best parts of the movie. with everyone out to take advantage and everyone out to make a quick buck. The acting is good with sachin, pooja, agm and jc, all doing well. but the true life of the movie is a combination of zaramud, rahul and kuber! they make the movie a true comedy. In the end a good movie! a can watch once!
This is the most hilarious film I have seen in a looooong while.. Ithink its going to set new trendinthe Indian cinemagoing publick,.. Bollywood has not seen a twohero film so wellmade in thepast and I think it will be rememebred long...... Sachin adn Zaramud are the most loveablecroosk on the bigscreen, and even though you are little uncomfy wth Rahul, you feel badabout his dilemma - he cant helplying all the time to his wife and anyone else hemeets.., Kuber as the dilli crook is soooooooo extraordinary,,, and original. And mahesh Manrekar is just awesume,.., On the whole,,very entertaining and thrilling watch......I wish Soha had a longer role....she' s so good and realistic, and Cyrus was soooooo comic!!!! I loved the film. my full vote for 99
