Vinay Pathak in Dasvidaniya
Vinay Pathak is usually described as a ?funny man? and cast as one too. He has been a part of hits such as Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, Jism, Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, Bheja Fry and Khosla Ka Ghosla. He has equally been a part of duds like Mixed Doubles, Aaja Nachle, Straight and Utt Pataang. The father of two, who gave up a business degree course in the Us in order to switch to drama school, talks to Udita Jhunjhunwala about working in both TV and film

Utt Pataang is a film on a trip of its own. The characters converse and unload their treasures of PJs uninhibitedly and the scenes drag on endlessly, with a total disregard for the viewer who might have come for a good time in the hope of finding a delightful sitcom, lured by the title of the film and the presence of Vinay Pathak. Instead, the insipid dialogues and bullock-cart pace handicap most of the actors, and the most entertaining part of the whole running time turns out to.
