– Pure garbage
– Pure nonsense
– Pure waste of time
Raghuram Sitaram as true blue as Jaipur Pottery is an itinerant tourist guide in the Pink City. He is also a minor con man who moonlights as a Wedding Guest on Hire (yes – there is such an outsourced service specially for runaway brides and grooms who don’t have their own guests to dance at the wedding) working for the jovial Mr. Rishi Kapoor a.k.a Mr. Goel who also plays cupid, agony aunt and counsellor apart from his real job of recruiting people to sing and dance at weddings. Gayatri is an IAS aspirant who has come to Jaipur ostensibly to enrol herself in Kota’s Crammer but spends all her time smoking ( chee chee and actually sleeping around with various boyfriends for some strange unknown reason). The two meet on the bus to Raghuram’s own wedding where Raghuram falls in love with Gayatri and indulges in some bus seat romancing in which the groom to be is so dazzled by her torrid kisses that he actually stands up the bride by running away via the toilet.
Gayatri ( Parineeta Chopra) and Raghuram ( Sushant Singh Rajput) shack up for what reason I still can’t fathom and we are treated to some really disgusting scenes which supposedly pass off as romantic and funny. Several inane songs later the two decide to get married but this time round it is Gayatri who pulls the plug at the wedding by again making a toilet escape.
By this time Raghuram is contrite and nursing a broken heart and in one Hired Wedding Party trip he comes across his jilted former bride (Tara) who is a cousin of the groom to be. There is a show down of sorts between Tara’s Uncle and Raghuram but Tara saves the day by asking her Uncle not to make a scene and gives Raghuram some money to go home. She also writes down her phone number. Raghuram meets her and again hooks up with her only to find that she was just interested in giving him a taste of his own medicine. But, cupid plays tricks and Tara falls in love with Raghu. But this is not the end of the movie…………..
At yet another wedding Tara and Raghuram come across Gayatri . Gayatri and Raghu are asked to go to the station to pick up the priest and when they return to the venue bump into each other (yes outside a toilet) and there is a showdown between all three. Eventually Tara realises that she is not really in love with Raghu and allows Ragu to marry Gayatri. But…….once again both of them run out on each other (again via the toilet) and land up in their love nest vowing never to get married because they are scared of relationships that bind.
The story was convoluted and silly, the dialogues hardly evoke a smile, the costumes garish and loud, the actors loutish and bad, the direction slow and boring……………
This movie is not Desi because it had
- no parents involved in the weddings
- young people who had not a care in the world but just traipsed around without any apparent financial support
