Whats in the name, that's what shakespere or more precisely chacha
shakespere had said, however 1, 2&3 proves that everything about is
in the name. Saw the latest out and out comedy movie yesterday night
and I liked the movie instantly though the movie is receiving pretty
harsh reviews all over. First and foremost there are lots of double
meaning dialogues and references to women's underwear (kache baniyan)
in the move, primarily due to which most of the elder audience finds
the movie vulgar. However young people would love this movie and well
to be fair the movie has really funny sequences and dialogues at many
places.
As is the norm with comedy movies nowadays, the
prerequisite for enjoying this movies is to leave your brain at home
and just go to the theater purely to laugh your mind out. the plot of
the movie is as follows:
Diamonds
belonging to a Don [Manoj Pahwa] get stolen. The diamonds accidentally
fall in the hands of Chandu [Upen Patel] and Chandni [Tanishaa], who
hide them in a car. Papa [Mukesh Tiwari] and his henchmen [Vrajesh
Hirjee and Sanjay Mishra] are desperately hunting for the diamonds,
while hot headed police office Mayavati Chautala [Neetu Chandra] is on
the prowl looking for offenders of any kind.
Enter the first Laxmi Narayan [Tusshar Kapoor]. He's from a khandani
mafia family and his mother prays that with a few murders under his
belt, he will be settled for life. He's got a final chance to redeem
himself as a Bhai. He comes to Hotel Blue Diamond because he's taken a
supari to bump off Papa.
Enter the second Laxmi Narayan [Suniel Shetty]. He is sent to Hotel
Blue Diamond to collect a new car for his boss from Laila [Sameera
Reddy]. The third Laxmi Narayan [Paresh Rawal] is a hawker who has made
so much money selling under-garments on the footpath that he has set up
a lingerie factory now. His son sends him to Hotel Blue Diamond to
collect lingerie samples from upcoming designer Jiya [Esha Deol].
The three Laxmi Narayans are at the same place, at the same time. They
get letters and photographs meant for the other. The first Laxmi
Narayan gets lingerie designer Jiya's photo and goes to kill her, only
to end up falling in love with her. The second Laxmi Narayan gets
Papa's photo and goes to collect the car from him, only to be mistaken
for a killer and gets beaten black and blue. The third Laxmi Narayan
gets Laila's photo and asks her to show him the under-garments, only to
be branded an old pervert.
Meanwhile, Chandu and Chandni are determined to stop anybody from buying the car where they have hidden the diamonds.
The
most extraordinary performance of this movie is by 'office office' star
Sanjay Mishra who as the side kick of the don, makes you laugh
literally on his every dialog which he delivers in yesteryear villan
jeevan like style. Also Paresh Rawal and suniel shetty has acted pretty
good. Mukesh Tiwari as the don "Papa" shares a great chemistry with his
side kicks and suniel shetty. Though Brijesh Hirji has underperformed
in the movie.
But
as usual Tushhar kapoor, esha deol, sameera reddy, upen patel and
tanisha has acted horribly in the movie and over acts almost in every
scene. Neetu chandra though in her role as haryanvi cop has acted well
for her small part.
The
debutant movie director Ashwani Dheer, who has written the famous
tele-series 'Office-Office' had done a good attempt at the comedy based
on mistaken identity.
Over
all 12 & 3 is a like able, laughable and super funny movie which is
worth watching at least once. so dont rely on the bad reviews everybody
is writing who are trying to be intellectual film critics, go out and
watch the movie and have a good laugh.
