Barah Aana is a 2009 Indian comedy-drama film written and directed by Raja Menon. The title refers to 12 Barah in Hindustani aanas (or annas), which was a unit of Indian currency before decimalisation. Barah Aana stars Naseeruddin Shah, Tannishtha Chatterjee, Vijay Raaz and Arjun Mathur. The film depicts the lives of working-class Indians in a globalized milieu[1] and how events spiral out of control when the characters try their hands at crime.
Things take a turn when the watchman becomes prey to misfortune; a series of chance events results in him stumbling on to a crime. The discovery changes his perspective, boosting his self-confidence enough to make him think that he has a new, low-risk way to make money. He tries to sell the idea to his roommates to get them to join him in executing such crimes.
As they get more and more mired in the spiral of events that follow, the three characters go through changes as they are pushed more and more against the wall.

Plot
Set in today’s Mumbai, Barah Aana revolves around three friends: Shukla, a driver, Yadav, a watchman, and Aman, a waiter. Shukla is an older man, stoic and steady. Yadav, in his 30s, is meek and something of a pushover at work but exhibits an underlying mischievous nature. Aman, is young, dynamic, and ambitious. In typical Mumbai fashion, the three are roommates, and the clash of their personalities regularly results in humorous, tongue-in-cheek banter.Things take a turn when the watchman becomes prey to misfortune; a series of chance events results in him stumbling on to a crime.

Storyline
Barah Aana is a comedy
of real life, set in today's Mumbai. The story revolves around three
unlikely friends: a driver (Shukla), a watchman (Yadav), and a waiter
(Aman). The driver is an older man, stoic but dependable. The watchman,
in his 30s, is a pushover at work but otherwise mischievous. The waiter
is a young, swaggering chap, brimming with ambition. Living together,
their differing attitudes spark playful banter. At some point,
misfortune befalls the watchman and, due to a series of chance events,
he stumbles into a crime. Striking upon a seemingly low-risk way to make
good money, and discovering a new sense of self-confidence, he tries to
entice the others to join him in a series of such crimes. Cat and mouse
games ensue between the three as personalities change, but events soon
spiral out of control, leading them in a direction none of them had
wanted to take... Featuring a talented ensemble cast, Barah Aana is
based on an original script. The running time is 97 minutes.

A charming tale, but short of great
Barah Anna is the story
of three have-nots in Mumbai- A driver, abused and humiliated by
employer's impatient wife (Naseeruddin Shah), a watchman who is pushover
at work, and therefore in life (Vijay Raaz), and a waiter, young and
ambitious (Arjun Mathur).
The three live together, and despite their different approaches to life, are friends. Each leads a difficult life, an exercise in futility in their dead-end blue-collar jobs. Shah silently suffers the humiliation, Raaz wants some money to send for his family for his unwell child's treatment, and Arjun wants to impress and get-together with a frequent foreigner customer (Violante Placido). One day Raaz stumbles on to a crime, making way for extraordinary circumstances.
Barah Aana is a study of the three characters, and the actors give an exemplary performance to establish the characters in flesh and blood. It tells you about how their characters and the motivations sway when they face challenging circumstances.
The first half hour establishes the characters, their approach to life and the motivations. But post-intermission it drags and the direction meanders as the drama unfolds. You wait for the end, looking at the watch, 20 minutes before it actually ends, which is sad since the movie is just 97 minutes long.
Watch the movie, however, for the exemplary performances. Naseeruddin Shah does not have any dialogues before the climax even though he has the maximum screen time. He carries it silently as only he can. Arjun Mathur, seen here after his Luck By Chance outing, impresses as the street-smart guy, with typical English and ambitions, without reducing the character to a mangled mess of caricature language and demeanors. Viloante Placido, as Arjun's object of affection, is subtle and composed. Tannistha Chatterjee, as the phone-booth owner, is believable and holds on to her own.
The star of the movie, however, is Vijay Raaz. He gets into the skin of Yadav, and comes out with such a brilliant performance that you'll feel pity that you don't see much of this immense talent. Watch him when he transitions from being a pushover, to be assertive enough to challenge his employer, and moving from bidi and matches to cigarettes and lighter.
Barah Aana is a short and simple story. It's a shame that debutant director Raja Menon does not deliver what he promises. The credible performances hold on this fort together, and make it a charming tale nonetheless.
