Synopsis Santosh (Rajpal) marries a small town girl, Shanti (Neha) and brings her to Mumbai where he works as a bank cashier। Six months into their marriage and the couple keeps fighting daily over the silliest of matters. Their neighbours, the Khuranas (Anupam and Rati) try brokering peace but to no avail. All this starts affecting Santosh’s work at the office. His boss, Prem (Aashish) who has had a love marriage with Khushi (Amrita) is forever scolding Santosh over that. But, Prem at the same time is hiding from everyone his own marital problems of coping with an ever demanding wife. Once after a fight Santosh leaves home forever. Realising it’s her folly, Shanti reaches Santosh’s office to patch up but gets misunderstood into thinking Santosh is having an affair with his office colleague. One misunderstanding leads to another leading to sillier problems for all concerned. StarBoxOffice.com Review Acting: Rajpal Yadav over acts. His bearing keeps ever changing from being a simpleton to over smart husband to a hassled one. The charm he exuded playing the insecure hubby in Main Meri Patni Aur Woh is simply missing. Neha Dhupia appears completely disinterested. Aashish Chaudhary continues aping Salman Khan. Amrita Arora with her limited set of expressions yet again fails to get out of her fake acting mould. Anupam Kher tries to infuse some humour but fails. Sanjay Mishra as the office peon manages to bring some laughs with his tooti footi angrezi. Direction: S. Chandrakant’s direction is too simplistic often resorting to an outdated narrative style. He fails to exercise control on Rajpal Yadav who once let loose on his own becomes unbearable to watch. Also the over use of Rajpal’s “imagination” of day dreaming of other ladies to be his wife tend to get boringly repetitive after a while. At times the emotional scenes bring out unintentional laughter whereas the supposedly funny situations make you wail. Script: Faulty from the word go, the script's most fundamental flaw being - the basic reasons behind the initiation of problems in Santosh’s marriage are never established. One just gets to see them fighting over the filmsiest of reasons. Also in Prem and Khushi’s marriage it is unintentionally hilarious to see Khushi asking for a divorce from a nice and obedient Prem when it should have been the other way round. The dialogues desperately to be funny, fall flat as they are the variety of – tu aadmi hai ya pyjama or mispronunciation of criminal as urinal types. Music: Siddharth – Suhas’s music is no great shakes either. Barring the just about hummable title number, trying to recollect even one song once out of the cinema hall is as challenging as finding good humour in this film.
