Story:

Tej Khullar is the loud Punjabi father you don't want to have if you are a 20 something guy like Sameer. But if you're his elder sister, Tanvi, you'd absolutely adore him. Sameer and Gattu are happy go lucky college friends. The stingiest man in the world, Tej Khullar sports a fake Rado watch and fake gold chains, but decides to buy his daughter the only original thing he has ever bought, a Maruti car. Tej is a hardcore Maruti lover who decides to gift her Maruti Ertiga on her wedding day. And he wants to ensure that Sameer doesn't get his hands on it. Tej is convinced that Sameer is not his son. He believes Sameer was exchanged in the hospital during childbirth. Sameer's dad thinks he is a good for nothing. He just wishes Sameer would grow up to be a man someday someone who he could stop calling 'Useless burger'. Sameer, on the other hand In order to try and impress Jasleen aka Jazleen (the Shakira of Chandigarh as she calls herself), who has to get around the city in a rickshaw,  he decides to borrow the new Maruti. When the smitten Sameer praises the leggy lass, she retorts: "My hips might but my lips don't lie!" And when he calls her the next day and reminds her of the previous day's meeting and the promise to meet again, she wants to know "kaun Sameer – Puri, Khanna ya Randhawa?" The guy is too besotted with the damsel to get the hint. He sneaks out with the car and the girl. By the time the party ends, he loses the former and leaves the latter at the end of her tether. Sameer now stares at the prospect of a merciless mauling at home. His sister's wedding is only three days away and he has little time to find a way out of the trouble that he has landed himself and his friend, Gattu (Prabal Panjabi), in. His plan has landed him in the deep end of a messy pit. He loses the car and a series of crazy twists and turns ensue before the story ends.

Performance:

The performances are cool. Ram Kapoor, one of television's most loved actors as the khadoos dad in his first full-fledged comedy role. He has really let himself go in this role. Saqib Saleem who made his debut in last year's sleeper hit from Y-Films' 'Mujhse Fraaandship Karoge' , in his second big screen outing, hits all the right notes. Rhea Charaborty playing Jazzleen is cute but does not make an impact. Ravi Kishan in a short role is fine and Prabal Panjabi, as Gattu is a delight. The Music is very impressive as all the Punjabi lead singers gave their performances in the movie especially Yo Yo Honey Singh's Rap in "Punjabiyan Di Battery". Director Ashima Chibber makes the emotions and family equations relatable and keeps the movie going at a steady pace so as not to bore the viewer.

Verdict :

Movie has no big face and it is turning its biggest weakness. The 2 hour length of movie makes it an optimum setback to enjoy nonstop. One can go & enjoy it as it will not make the money waste.
