Plot
The story focuses on Shekhar (Akshaye Khanna), who is currently an assistant director, hoping to write and direct his own movie soon. His friend Raju (Arshad Warsi) is a struggling actor who has been waiting for Shekhar to write a film script so he can star in. However, when Shekhar rejects him as the film's hero, Raju decides to steal Shekhar's film script and release the film under his own name. The film is released and turns out to be a blockbuster, leading Raju to stardom. Heartbroken Shekhar, at this time, is left by his girlfriend Mansi (Amrita Rao). Lack of confidence, Shekhar writes a new and better film script and wants to star Raju in it, however when Raju rejects the script, Shekhar decides to film the movie without Raju knowing he is in it. Shekhar and his low-budget film crew follow Raju around everywhere to complete their movie. Eventually, when the movie is finished, it turns out that Raju's role in the film was embarrassing and humiliating, and turns Raju into a box office bomb.

Not even up to the minimum mark
Quite a disappointment.
The only thing that kept me in cinema hall till end of the movie is Amrita Rao. She looked different and good too. Better performance.
OK story. Not great music.
Apart from that its low quality work, used up comedy and not so great performance. Don't want to spend much time writing this. Its just not worth it.
In simple terms, its waste of your money, your time, your efforts going to cinema hall and simply waste of cinema reel.
Like 'modistreet' said - save your money, buy yourself a good lunch.
