After contemplating for about an hour about which movie we should go to watch, me and my friends settled for KLPD (Kismet, Love, paisa, Dilli) on Saturday. (Secretly I hoped to catch the other one Sri Devi starer English Vinglish on Sunday) As my friends were not in a mood to watch any family drama and we were only out to have some plain, wild fun. To admit it, I had to be dragged along as I had no interest to watch this one. But as I started watching the movie, my mind was completely swirled by it.
I was completely taken by surprise with the superb acting of Vivek Oberoi as an opportunist who looks to reap the benefits from any kind of situation. Honestly I had made up my mind to sleep through the movie but on the contrary I could not blink my eyes in fear of losing a single second of the film. I have to thank my friends for this or else I would have completely missed out on such a good movie.
Anyways the film starts on a promising note, like every other guy next door; Lokes Duggal (Vivek Oberoi) is the imperfect middle class prankster studying in DU. He helps out a friend with a fashion show and is immediately attracted towards the show host the lovely Lovina (Mallika Sherawat) and tries to score with her. They don't seem to hit it at the first meet but Lokesh tries to follow her to the nearby metro station to catch the last metro back home.
The two start of on a bitter note unaware of the fact that the night has something else in store for them. Lokesh is mysteriously involved in the murder of a mystery white sari clad woman (Neha Dhupia) at the metro. In all these mayhem, a man snuck a tape into the waistcoat pocket of Lokesh. And guess what! It is the string operation tape of the ever sinister minister. From here starts the topsy-turvy turn of the mad events, that follows all night for Lokesh. The cops and the dangerous men of the evil minister are after him as he tries to give the slip to the cops and run from the scene. What a dramatic situation to be in isn't it?
However he again runs into Lovina who also has missed her last metro (a big co-incidence don't you think?) together they try to hail a cab and go back home. In their journey they accidentally run into a desperate delivery guy who literally bites ears of people (Creepy) and a gang of petty thuds whose leader is the slap-happy boss Kaptaan Saab (Ashutosh Rana) who has a record of slapping random people (Talk of some hilarious record!).
Lokesh and Lovina even meet the colourful Delhi characters dancing sardars of the lavish Indian engagement set up. At the set of the dawn both are faced with the final hurdle, with Lokesh contemplating about whether or not to sell his soul to the minister for a bigger price. In the heart touching end though he does, he leaves a strong message to the common man.
I have to admit to my utter surprise I loved watching this film. Sanjay Khanduri has made this film genuinely funny with all the slap-stick comedy and weird jokes standing out. The punching one liners definitely adds the needed masala to the movie and makes it really worth watching. Some stellar comic performances and peppy numbers make this movie highly recommended! Go for it guys!
