FOUR vela friends are afflicted by the get-rich-quick virus and find their fortunes taking a turn after they accidentally pounce upon an accident victim (Prem Chopra) who tells them about a hidden treasure in Goa, before he literally kicks the bucket. The losers begin their winners-
take-all journey to the promised land, but find umpteen obstacles in their way: a sleepwalking cop (Sanjay Dutt), a hyper Parsi bawa (Asrani) and a me-myself daku. It’s a banana bunch that finally ends up in Goa, chasing a dream that takes them through sundry silly twists and turns that find you grinning as you jump onto this jolly ride. Don’t go looking for too much sense and you might just enjoy this celebration of nonsense from the director who has given you some cinema ‘masti’ with films like Dil, Ishq and Masti. The highpoint of the film isn’t the script which is a foregone tale. Rather, it is the chemistry between the bunch of chokras, led by Arshad Warsi and his nerdish brother, Jaaved Jaffrey who wields the dungaree with aplomb. Also, the boys whip up such a frenzy of mad capers that you hardly miss the heroines who are notable by their absence. Yes, this is Bollywood’s maiden attempt to completely dispense with the maidens. Go have fun in this all boys affair, even though Sanjay Dutt seems to be sleepwalking through his role, the first after his stint at Yerawada prison.
