One Two Three (2008)

The Interlinks of Event Leads to Hillariousness...
19 March 2022
The movie starts with a groovy song (Well two if you consider when the plot starts thickening) and takes off from there. At times, the songs in the middle of the movie (even though catchy) do slow it but that is what comes with any Bollywood movie. One would have to applaud the screenwriter for how impeccably they have woven the script that has resulted in the events that are all related to each other by the end of the movie. The usual suspects Suniel Shetty and Paresh Rawal have dotted there 'i's and crossed their 't's and flawlessly fit into the role. Their innocence (or naivety if you prefer calling it that) drives the movie. On the other hand, the third namesake, Tushar Kapoor is pleasant compared to his other roles so far. He leaves a lasting impression. Don't know why he did not do a few more in a similar genre. Maybe because the movie did not do too good when it was released on the box office back in 2008.

For female leads, all the three, Esha, Sameera, Tanisha perform their role well. The surprise package was Neetu Chandra. She fits in as brash and eccentric Mayavati Chautala as if the role was written with her in mind.

Sanjay Mishra and Mukesh Tiwari are the stars of the movie though. And yeah, they have even overshadowed both Rawal and Shetty. They are the heart of the movie and might have been the driving factor. Vrajesh does well in his role but Mishra is fantabulous. Manoj Pahwa, Murli Sharma, and Usha Nadkarni do well in their parts and make the movie even more fun.

The way the story unfolds is pretty good. But as said above the unraveling of the story could have been done a bit quicker with the removal of a few songs. That slows down the movie. Most of the jokes are clean and this is a movie that you may watch with your partner and maybe your extended family if you have enough comfort in your relationship (where Bra-Panty jokes are not frowned upon).

All n all, an absolute joy ride this movie is contingent on one leaving their brain at home and just allowing themselves to be stress-free. Taking 2 stars off for the pace of the movie. Beyond that all well. Sure WATCH! (I watch when I am bored or down...)
