A blind man and a deaf man are best of friends running a shop together. Both of them dream of having a girlfriend of their own. Two girls in showbiz enter their lives and both the guys feel they have found the love of their life. But the girls cannot imagine the disabled guys as their boyfriends. Both the guys are shattered to learn this but in any case reach Bangkok when the girls get into serious trouble with the law there.
A blind and deaf combination was done in Gene Wilder's SEE NO EVIL HEAR NO EVIL. The effect was hilarious, because the
script had numerous twists and turns and powerful performances. PYARE MOHAN borrows some of the potential but is not
able to emulate the genius. The screenplay commits the first crime before everyone else. Then the direction is so outdated in its takings and blind to detail that the he misses out on the golden opportunity for authentic comedy.
Instead, he relies on mediocre dialogue to evoke laughter. The inherent potential of great comedy is taken for granted
and except for a punch here and there the film has no fizz. The film borrows heavily from almost everywhere and ends
up reaching nowhere.
Production values are good and do not cut corners. Cinematography is top class. Story is mediocre but the screenplay
is really bad. Dialogue is the saving grace and in some places are real gems. Editing' is okay. Action has some spark here and there but choreography is unimaginative. Musically, except for 'Tu jahan bhi jayegi', there's nothing worth mentioning. Performance wise, Fardeen Khan and Viveik Oberoi try very hard to make the best out of the given situation but their efforts go in vain due to the insipid scene conception. Esha Deol disappoints. Amrita Rao is wasted and goes unnoticed. Boman Irani does his bit. The rest are functional. Directorially, though there are flashes of brilliance, overall it is an ordinary attempt.
At the Box-Office, being a solo release, it has taken a reasonable opening, but will find it difficult to sustain.
