Production House : Viacom 18 Motion Pictures

Producer : Sheeba

Director : Akashdeep Sabir

 

Cast : Boman Irani , Vir Das , Neha Dhupia , Lisa Hayden, Johny Lever , Ram Kapoor , Vijay Raj , Tinnu Anand , Sanjay Mishra and Ayub Khan .

Over View : Santa Banta  Jokes are famous but these character’s in a form of Movie don’t work

Story Line : The movie revolves around two characters who are best friends , Santeshwar Singh aka Santa (Boman Irani ) and Banteshwar Singh aka Banta (Vir Das) , they are good for nothing soul , there is famous Raw Sacret Agent named by their name Santa And Banta , these good for nothing are  mistaken to be Secret Agent and they are taken to Fiji Island for a Mission by Arvind (Vijay Raj) , who fails to find actual agent , he sends these fake ones .Their Mission is to rescue Indian High Commissioner  Shanker (Ayub Khan ) , In Fiji who has been kidnapped .

After reaching Fiji island , santa and banta meet commissioner wife Kareena (Neha Dhupia) .and Shanker’s Friend Sonu Sultan (Ram Kapoor) ,for their so called investigation .

They are working in co  ordination with the raw agents from Fiji Cutie (Lisa Hayden) and Akbar Illahabadi ()Sanjay Mishra)  .

in between this there is Nepal’s Don No 1 Johny Lever who think they are real raw agents , santa and banta so he is also after them . The mission of finding the commissioner takes santa and banta on a roller coaster ride  making an unsuccessful attempt to making it a comic movie .

What happens with the investigation is for the audience to watch .

 

Performances : The main characters , Boman Irani and Vir Ds individually try to save this film but their partnership does not click .

Rest of the cast such as Snjay Mishra , Jihny Lever , Vijay Raaz are completely wasted . Lisa Hayden and Neha Dhupia hardly have any acting to do they are only to increase glam quotient.

 

Verdict : The film badly fails in it script  , Director Akashdeep tried hard to make it a funny movie but failed miserably , there is nothing to laugh about on the other hand you will be forced to buzz off . The songs have been just pushed in the movie having senseless timing . Even the beautiful  Fiji Island have become lifeless due to bad scripting .The character of Johny Lever looks like have been pushed in without  any sense . its just a waste

 

Final Word : There is nothing in the movie to look forward to . Comedy is just an illusion in this movie .

 

Rating : 1*/5*
