There is no short cut to success is what this movie intends to convey taking a very long route.
Producer Anil Kapoor attempts to take a shortcut by choosing to remake a Malayalam film Udayananu Tharam (Mohanlal, Sreenivasan) which in turn is a spin-off on the Hollywood flick Bowfinger (Steve Martin, Eddie Murphy).
The story revolves around two con artists Shekar(Akshay Khanna) and Raju (Arshad Warsi) in the media, Both are friends, who are struggling to make it big in the Bollywood. One is a struggling assistant director and the other a struggling actor. A non-actor Arshad Warsi turns an overnight superstar by stealing the script of an assistant director Akshay Khanna.
The assistant director gets married to superstar Mansi (Amrita Rao) and his chawl neighbours gift him a palatial flat. The graph goes flat as the story turns towards matrimonial disharmony with Mansi soon giving up on her chauvinistic husband , where Akshay starts a film with superstar King Kumar (Arshad Warsi) who continues to remain a non-actor. What follows is nonsense and noise 'produced' by a troupe of Gujarati stage actors who believe in getting theatrical and loud at every opportunity they get to mouth a line.Akshaye Khanna's writer's block appears more as if he's stuck up in solving some math numerical. Every time he gets an ending to his story, he screams out saying ' I got my climax', which sounds suggestive with cheesy connotations. The derived screenplay is patchy and its shows as writer Neeraj Vora struggles to script weak characters and weaker conflicts. As a Director Neeraj Vora tries too hard to make laugh with his regular brand of sad jokes which fall flat.Music director Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy try too hard to come up with peppy tunes which only sound lousy.
Amrita gets a chance to change into glamorous outfits. She tries too hard to look hot but lacks oomph in every possible angle. Arshad Warsi doesn't have to try too hard to look like a non-actor though he is good in patches. Akshay Khanna believes screaming and shouting accounts to performing. He is let down by a very poor script. Chunky Pandey tries too hard to play an acting teacher but needs lessons himself. Siddharth Randheria tries too hard to pass off as a cheap substitute for Paresh Rawal but is unbearably annoying. Ali Asgar tries too hard to play Amrita Rao's brother but appears more like her stalker.
Over all this is a Bollywood type comedy movie, where is cheap entertainment for public.
