The woman in the sidecar going around the village is just hilarious. By the way she (Sudha Chandran) fits the part well with her svengali makeup, heavy jewelery and zabardast attitude, that is in total reverse of a typical village woman-and that in itself is funny. Then we have probably the greatest comedy characters of the Indian Cinema-Paresh Rawal and Om Puri-the Laurel and Hardy of Hindi comedy. Just looking at these two brings a chuckle. Priyadarshan, is one of the few producers who understand comedy unlike these "Banchods of Bollywood" producing filthy toilet humor movies like "Delhi Belly" and "Three Idiots" which is demeaning to Indians and comedy at the expense of the Indians. These scum maggots donot represent India nor Indians and they should be kicked out of the industry and sent back to where they came from. This is a movie that has a subtle meaning behind the comedy. Few scenes are redundant like the dead Anthony ending up on the tree. Some of the subplots are too drawn out. I guess this is to satisfy the average movie goer in a village who wants paisa vasool and and an eyecandy "Item number" which in this context is provided by Rakhi Sawant. It would have been nice that if she were to be one of the charecteres in the village, instead of just an item. The movie is enjoyable-for the masses who are starved for good comedy.
