Production
Sachin Yardi, who previously worked as a screenwriter for films such as Kyaa Kool Hai Hum (2005) and Traffic Signal (2007), got an idea for a story which dealt with ordinary men placed in extraordinary situations. He worked on the script for six months and invested much time on the character sketches.[2] Speaking about his directorial debut, Yardi felt direction to be a satisfying experience and helped him have control over his script.[3] After filming, he felt that the film was executed in the way he wanted it and was quite confident about the way it shaped up.[2]
Until this film, Raima Sen appeared in supporting roles in several films such as Chokher Bali (2003), Parineeta (2005), and Honeymoon Travels Pvt. Ltd. (2007). This was the first time in her commercial movie career that she portrayed a lead character's role. Quite unlike her real life love for food, Sen portrays a role of a dietitian.[4] Tusshar Kapoor, the sibling brother of producer Ekta Kapoor, loved to work in the film due to his sister's conviction to the film.[5]
Release and reception
The film released on 29 August 2008 all across India with most critics terming it as a poor film. The film's release coincided with the release of six other movies - Hijack, Chamku, Mukhbiir, Rock On!!, Wanted and Wall E.[6] While Hindustan Times in its review criticized the film in its entirety,[7] Rediff.com found it difficult to class the film under a particular genre.[8] Sify.com rated the efforts as average and wondered about the untimely inclusions of songs in the film. Unlike the other reviews, it rated actor Tusshar Kapoor's performance as excellent.[9] Another entertainment website, in its review, said that the film was an "insult to the comedy genre."[10]
