Badmaash Company: Average Returns

The movie is one of those 'average' movies which neither leave you excited nor complaining about anything. Its just a plain simple movie which can easily ignore and also not mind watching it. There is almost nothing in the movie which makes it special but you would not leave it in the middle too. It just goes on at its pace without any hiccups for a pretty good time, then comes a small preachy bit which irritates you and then comes back on track for the happy ending.

The movie is about friendship and 'lets get rich' quick mentality. Its set in mid 90s and unfolds in India and US in first and second half respectively. The friends want to make some quick bucks and they start using the customs Duty regime in India in a very cunning and con-ning way. The movie then moves to US with similar tricks. Then comes the preachy 'oh we are friends', 'lets forget rich and get respected', 'i love my family (and india)' stuff, and then it ends with a cunning but not con-ning way of making money with a happily ever after K3G types ending.

All the actors were pretty decent and i never felt uncomfortable about anybody's performance. Infact, i really liked Chang (Yes, the guy from Indian Idol)'s act. He was pretty smooth. Rest all were decent and there were no hiccups anywhere (although a couple of smooches were definitely not required) And ya jfyi, Anushka Sharma is just not hot no matter how low her tops or how high her skirt is.

The title track is pretty groovy and your shoulders just start moving when you hear it. There were a couple of 'what!!! is that really a song' kinda crappy songs too which i am sure you will ignore. Baaki, nothing great to write about anywhere else.

Overall : I'm sure you are not dying to watch it anyways but if you get cheap tickets and have time, you will not get too bored either

Feel-O-Meter : 5/10
