'Paying guests' is a comedy flick but director Paritossh Painter's narration and screenplay is poor. Presentation and cinematography are the only plus points.
Story:
Story is about Four bachelor boys (Shreyas Talpade, Javed Jaffrey, Ashish Chowdhry, Vatsal Seth) who are very good friends but then they are on the lookout for a suitable accommodation. Their househunt takes them to Ballu (Johnny lever) and his wife (delnaz) and they like the place but Ballu has one strong condition- the house is only for couples. With no choice, they cook up a plan and two among them (Shreyas and Javed) becomes women of the home. On the other hand, there are the two villains (chunky and Inder kumar) who want to foil their plan. Then, there are also their girlfriends (Celina Jaitly, Riya Sen, Sayali Bhagat, Neha Dhupia) who fail to understand what is happening. What follows from there is a roller coaster ride of comedy.
Performance:
Aashish Choudhary and Shreyas Talpade manage to carry the movie on their performances to some extent. Javed Jaffery and Johnny Lever were average. The leading girls Celina Jaitly, Riya Sen, Sayali Bhagat, Neha Dhupia did not have much to perform, they were just about okay. Vatsal Seth's humour falls flat. Asrani is wasted in a small role.
Music:
Music is a major letdown. Background score is unpleasant.
Verdict:
In a nutshell, 'Paying guests' can be completely avoided. Rated below average. |  |
