Anand Pawar , a born loser , and a naive ,middle-class working man , with faltering speech , to add to the woes , loves Neha; she aspires to be an actress one day , but presently ,is nothing more than an ordinary girl next door . Raj ,on the other hand , is a cunning , slimy producer , who has to play tricks to get his story accepted , and even shop lift clothes , for appearing decent . Kunal Khemu , Soha Ali Khan , and Paresh Rawal , in the lead roles of this movie , are supposed to entertain us , along with the medley of a bunch of crazy characters , who pop up as per the need of the hour . Lifted , of course from Hollywood , that is the idea of making a flop film , Dhoodate Reh Jaoge manages to evoke a few funny situations , but fizzles out in the end , with crowds in the theater going in a frenzy , supposedly with the comic situations in the film , and the funny takes on the Bollywood block busters . The director , the script writer , and the actors ,too , are at a loss to give a fitting climax to this otherwise good attempt to produce some thing different than the usual formula films , in it's climax , which ends on rather unbelievable ,goody goody acts and dialogs , like Aryan handing over Neha , which he looked after as Anand's security deposit , and Neha running in his arms ,in a full bridal costume , like a fancy dress competition ! Sood never changes his expressions throughout the movie ! Soha's attempt at dancing like Urmila ,is casual , and confirms that she can't dance ,for heaven's sake ! Paresh has started to show signs of his advancing age , and his flirting stints as well as some vulgar actions and dance , smack of overacting , unacceptable . Amongst all , kunal is good , and surprisingly , natural . Hero's duplicates idea and playing on their physical handicaps is stretched to the limits , and makes it pathetic instead of funny. Some how , the movie comes across as a childish sort of a presentation , with every thing carried out in a casual manner , specially the Press conference scene , investors handing over money etc. Today's Bollywood has come a long way from all the situations shown here , and a very vibrant and sleek industry , in spite of the heap of garbage it produces , by spending in crores of rupees every year !
Nevertheless , this could be termed as a good effort at making fun of our big time productions , but sadly , it wasn't done seriously enough , to throw a well-aimed snow ball , and initiate fun , at the expense of the stalwarts. Nako Nako number is well taken , and Kunal has danced with ease . Want to pass some time without bothering for the money you spent , better watch it on Video than in a theater , a little patience is required ,to sit through till the climax , going flop towards the end ! i have given it a six , because it's quite funny in the first half , and the tempo was quite smooth . Must mention Johny Lever , who leaves us yearning for seeing his old self ; Tolerable , but not that hilarious like his other movies . Like to watch odds ? Then go for it !
