One Two Three Movie Review
While going out for One Two Three, keep in mind to open up your head, squeeze out your brain and stuff some hay into your empty head, because for the next three hours what you see is complete nonsense. The dialogues are good, the lifted witty one-liners were ok but the script lacked the punch.
Here is the story of the movie from One Two Three's official site:
Enter the first Laxmi Narayan (Tusshar Kapoor). He's from a khandani mafia family and his mother prays that with a few murders under his belt, he will be settled for life. After botching up badly in his early attempts, he's got a final chance to redeem himself as a Bhai. He comes to Hotel Blue Diamond, Pondicherry because he's taken supari to bump of Papa (Mukesh Tiwari).
Enter the second Laxmi Narayan (Suniel Shetty). He's an MBA from Darjeeling and lives his professional life by following two simple rules - 1) the boss is always right. 2) If the boss is wrong, follow rule number 1. He is sent to Hotel Blue Diamond, Pondicherry to collect a new car for his boss from Laila (Sameera Reddy).
The third Laxmi Narayan (Paresh Rawal) is a hawker who has made so much money selling underwear on the footpath, that he has set up a lingerie factory for his son. His son sends him to Hotel Blue Diamond, Pondicherry to collect lingerie samples from upcoming designer Jiya (Esha Deol).
One… 2… Three…Laxmi Narayans in the same place at the same time.
One… 2… Three…Laxmi Narayans waiting for messages at the hotel reception desk.
One… 2… Three…Laxmi Narayans getting letters and photographs meant for the other.
First Laxmi Narayan gets lingerie designer Jiya's photo and goes to kill her, only to end up as her hero. Second Laxmi Narayan gets Papa's photo and goes to collect the car from him, only to be mistaken for a killer and gets beaten black and blue. Third Laxmi Narayan gets Laila's photo and asks her to show him her underwear, only to be branded an old pervert.
Meanwhile Chandu and Chandni are determined to stop anybody from buying the car where they have hidden the diamonds. But Laila has to sell the car to save her showroom. And Jiya has to sell her designs to save herself from lecherous Mende's clutches.
One…2.. Three - A case of not one mistaken identity but three!
One…2.. Three - A crazy bunch of people doing the wrong things for the right reason!
One…2.. Three - A laugh riot from beginning to end!!
Bad things about One Two Three are bad script, bad screenplay, below average cinematography, hamming actors who fail at comedy, dumb actresses and forgettable music from Raghav Sachar. The few good things about One Two Three are: Sanjay Mishra is outstanding in his performance, Manoj Pahwa is brilliant, good editing, usage of funny sound-effects and above all the movie is a great stress buster.
Coming to the performances of other actors, Sunil Shetty is good, Paresh Rawal repeats his monotonous Hera Pheri Act (I am sick of this), Upen Patel- no comments, Mukesh Tiwari and Vrajesh Hirjee are ok, Tusshar Kapoor needs to work on his dialogue delivery, Esha Deol looks dumb, Sameera Reddy's act is a dud (like her Race's performance), Tanishaa is bad and Neetu Chandra overacts.
Folks don't expect anything great from the movie and you might actually end up enjoying it, otherwise it's a strict no-no, 'coz the three hours spent on a dingy seat in One Two Three's torture room can be worse than hell.
My Rating: **/5
Kasampiya!
