A bouncer best avoided

Starring: Tamannah Bhatia, Saurabh Shukla, Supriya Shukla, Sabyasachi Chakraborty, Upasana Singh, Ashwini Kalsekar, Sahil Vaid, Abhishek Bajaj and Rajesh Khera

Rating: 1.5*

Is this a Madhur Bhandarkar film? Doubt it! No way can Madhur direct such a mundane film. Although he tries to infuse a message, the film falls flat. Even the presence of Tamannah Bhatia could not have salvaged the film if it had a theatrical release.

Babli (Bhatia who has her Haryanvi dialect spot on) is the daughter of Gajanan Tanwar (a reliable Saurabh Shukla) who trains bodybuilders and Ganga (Supriya Shukla). They reside in Akola-Fatehpur Beri near Delhi. Babli has failed her tenth class exams multiple times but on the other hand, she is very strong physically. Kukku (adorable Sahil Vaid) loves her since childhood but Babli treats him just as a friend. At a wedding in her village Babli meets her old school teacher’s suave & sophisticated son Viraj (a decent Abhishek Bajaj) and falls head over heels in love with him.  She decides to move to Delhi to be closer to him. Kukku who works as a bouncer in Tally Gully Club gets her a job as a female bouncer in the same club.

Certain characters in the film like Sabyasachi Chakraborty (as Saurav Dutta), Upasana Singh (as Dolly Chaddha) and Ashwini Kalsekar (as Bobby Didi) are so wasted in the film that one doesn’t know what they were doing in the film at the first place. Ditto for Rajesh Khera (as Inspector Amarnath Singh).

There are certain scenes in the film like Babli’s drunken confession and her promise to her father which stand out. Even the scene where Babli tells Kukku that they are only good friends is heartwarming. The rest of the film is just boring. The comedy/fun quotient is just not there.

Take our advice and skip this film. You’ll thank us for saving you from this bouncer!
