Filmmaking RIP

Titoo (Dahiya; resembles bowler Zaheer Khan) opens a ‘daru dukaan’ and ‘bra-panty dukaan’ with borrowed money. Forget legal permits, the writers somehow concoct an excuse for a wine shop failing in Chandigarh.

Naturally, he becomes a gigolo to pay off his debts (MBA: ‘Married But Available’)

His young wife rightly feels wronged, but the filmmakers outrageously try to paint cheating Titoo as the real victim. And they end up promoting infidelity and objectification (both sexes, to be fair) with the subtlety of an Afridi century.

This is the kind of inept effort that punctuates airheaded moments with a mandatory ‘Hadippa!’, ‘Siyappa!’ or ‘Gudiye!’ When in doubt (forever), turn to offensive stereotypes and bikini-clad foreigners at pool parties.

Titoo’s wife (Jaiswal; lost), his ‘cougar’ clients and fraud Babas spout forced sexual innuendos to remind us of the film’s alleged forwardness. Because Titoo provides happiness to lonely women. Every track feels like a disjointed skit written by sugaraddled 4-year olds. The craft is painfully amateur; at one point, TV cricket-match footage has India go from 70-5 to 49-3 to signify victory.

On an unrelated note, Anupam Kher hasn’t appeared in a movie for two weeks. I miss him.
