After a long wait from new releases due to the multiplex strike...I was hoping 99 would be a breath of fresh air! and it did not disappoint!99 is a typical bollywood movie with multiple plots and a mixture of comedy-adventure-romance-music. Though for a hard core bollywood fan, it may seem a little dull! As the songs are just ok! All in all a good movie! Especially after such a long break!
The story follows sachin who is college dropout (street smart! sly defining him! full of ideas, Implementation being the only problem.)And his friend zaramud(basically a fool) who are luckless scam artists, going about doing nothing but joblessly pulling fast ones on people! The twist arises when zaramud with his stupidity lands them both in trouble. In walks AGM! The boss. Who asks sachin and zaramud to go to Delhi from Mumbai to recover some of his (agm) money. Where they are taken for a long gala ride! In Delhi there’s a girl for Sachin, pooja. A gambler who owes everyone money rahul and various high and low profile characters .Rahul and Kuber truly stealing the show!
The movie now goes into this unpredictable and hilarious mode, truly one of the best parts of the movie. with everyone out to take advantage and everyone out to make a quick buck. The acting is good with sachin, pooja, agm and jc, all doing well. but the true life of the movie is a combination of zaramud, rahul and kuber! they make the movie a true comedy.
In the end a good movie! a can watch once!
