They were each living their normal lives which involved committing some low-level crimes until Sir comes up with the idea of capturing a jackpot amounting to Rs. 20 crores. They all get ready to execute this idea. They plan to steal a van which looks exactly like a police van having the number 4084 and go for their hunt as fake police officers.

However, as they were about to execute their plan somebody else steals their van, and in the hurry these guys are left with nothing, so instead they steal the actual police van to implement their plan.

And the rest of the film is about whether they succeed in their mission or not?

Analysis Director Hriday Shetty came up with an interesting idea and also with an amazing star cast to execute his idea. But, he failed to create something new which we, the audience, have not seen until now. Almost the entire first half of the film turns out to be a waste as it goes on, just reciting the past of all the four lead characters, which was unnecessary. The film could have been so much better.

Star performance Atul Kulkarni did an excellent job among all the talented actors in the film.

The powerhouse actor, Naseeruddin Shah, did an average performance; he lacked in the comedy scenes. Another talented actor, Kay Kay Menon, also did a good performance, though this time even he failed to create some magic with his acting. Ravi Kishan made an effort to look good in some scenes, excluding those few scenes he also fails to win our hearts. Rajesh Sharma Rajesh Sharma is an Indian actor.

What’s there?

1. The powerful performance by Atul Kulkarni.

2. Few comedy scenes were well executed in the film.

3. The music of the movie will make you dance.

What’s not there?

1. The screenplay of the film written by Saki is very weak.

2. The cinematography of the movie by Vincent Fernandez is also weak.

3. Oddity factor is missing in the film, nothing new.

Verdict

The film had a good plot, but it lost its way in the process of the storytelling. Except for a few light hearted scenes, there is nothing in the film. So, watch the film only if you have nothing to do!
