VERDICT – 4/5

 

 


PROS –
1) A short crisp prequel to the first season which is somewhat better than its predecessor.
2) After giving the audiences 2 honey-trap plots, the director revealed that the main protagonist is himself being honey-trapped. That was a remarkable plot-twist.
3) The “Admiral Gorshkov” scam is seamlessly woven into the story.

VERDICT – 0/5

 

 


PROS –
N/A

 

 

CONS –
1) A man creating a fake family to get married is a plot done to death in Bollywood.
2) The movie’s core was supposed to be the funny bickering between Paresh Rawal’s and Manu Rishi’s character but even that was not executed properly.
3) Lazy direction, tedious screenplay, and bad acting. Watch the trailer, skip the movie.
