The movie in question proved to be a rather tedious watch, lacking in any meaningful entertainment value. Nowadays, there seems to be a growing trend of movies based on real-life events, many of which manage to strike a balance between being informative and amusing. Unfortunately, this particular movie failed to achieve that balance and instead seemed to focus solely on relaying the events of the real-life incident in a dry and uninspiring manner. Watching this movie felt like a waste of time, with few moments of levity to break up the monotony. Given its lack of engaging elements, it might have been better suited for an initial release on an OTT platform, allowing viewers to skip over the more tedious scenes and watch at their own pace.

Waste of Time
sbalan-2164027 April 2023
May be you have to watch it in 2x speed and will still feel lagged and you get bored. What a poor screenplay. It's even ok watch as 30 minute Youtube short film. The comedy was the so called twist at the end. I wasted my time.
Why producers are wasting such money for a poor plot and screenplay. And that too actors like Asif which has good potential acting in these absurd story... Such a hype created only at the end failures to all cast and crew and most importantly wasting producers money...
Learn how to take screenplay to next level and not gimmicking it to imagine all bs will be seen by audiences.

A strange love triangle
gazmar6221 March 2023
Possibly inspired by a true story?, This is a saga about a man and a beloved car.
Starting in 1983 Mahesh's father buys a bright red Maruti 800 , the new 'Indian' car of the people, it is presented to him by Indira Gandhi so becomes a local celebrity car, featured in the newspaper.
Mahesh is a schoolboy and his sweetheart Gauri is the love of his life, but her family can afford to send her to Delhi for her education, so Mahesh concentrates on his new love , the Maruti 800.
Fast forward 20 years or more and Mahesh is still caring for his late father's Maruti. When the much loved car is stolen Mahesh is devastated but the thief has a kind heart and abandons the car after seeing the newspaper clipping of the car being presented by Indira Gandhi.
Mahesh now running an automobile service garage has some financial difficulty and gets into trouble with the law when he rents the infamous Maruti car for a wedding.
Suddenly a blast from the past returns , Gauri helps Mahesh with his court case and the childhood sweethearts rekindle their romance.
Gauri and Mahesh seem destined for a happy reunion and marriage, but the Maruti 800 is more important than she expected and Mahesh hasn't made a big success of himself, making him unacceptable for her wealthier family.
The Maruti 800 is now a classic car with historical importance, it's value is high and selling it could be the kickstart that Mahesh or rather Gauri needs for their future happiness together , if only Mahesh could bear to part with his father's car.
This is a sweet story about obsession and although the romance side is fragmented and hard to swallow , as is the vague success plot, it comes good ish at the end.
No dance scenes !? Which came as a shock, but there are a few romantic songs to go with the nice performances, especially love sick Mahesh / Asif Ali.
It's not really much of a comedy or as terrible as the Letterboxd reviews and ratings suggest imo.
