    Mehmood at his best!

    It's a decent comedy with large ensemble cast, however Mehmood is the pivot for the film. The concept and storyline is quite innovative and always keeps you entertained. The songs are fairly catchy and keep you hooked. It's Marathi language adaptation titled "Ashi Hi Banwa Banwi" with star studded cast and superhit songs is worth watch!
