Movie Review: One Two Three
“One Two Three, One Two Three, Duniya Mein Aana Hai Free, Duniya Se Jaana Hai Free”
Guess they couldn’t think of anything else to rhyme with three. :/
Watched this I think last week, so I can’t remember too much of it. I’ll keep this short.
This movie is about three men who have the exact same name. So you already know where this is going. You know it’s gonna be a case of mistaken identities.
It’s the kind of movie where you should cringe at every attempt at humor, predict what’s going to happen next, and wonder what the actors were thinking when they signed the movie. I thought all of these things.
But I still enjoyed the movie, go figure.
It’s silly comedy, but every once in a while you just have to sit back and laugh at the stupidity. It’s more fun that way. You just have to laugh at the gangster who adds an ‘S’ to the end of all his words. And at the wannabe Don who can’t seem to shoot anybody, and his mother who asks the boss for another chance for her son. And at the buffoon who can’t seem to get left and right straight.
Suniel Shetty’s been in quite a few comedies. He’s not the best comedic actor, but he always does well. Though he always seems to be the one we’re laughing at, not with. Paresh sails through movies like this. Tusshar tries a bit too hard, but he’s fine.
Out of the girls, I liked Sameera the most. I actually do like her, she’s not one of the size 0 girls prancing around, but she’s still beautiful. This role is much better than her stupid one in Race, where she was completely useless. Esha’s ok, but still can’t act.
And these two are just useless. They are barely there for 20 minutes (thankfully) and cheese up the place with their ‘acting’. Upen, go back to London, and Tanisha, find another job. You have too big of a name to live up to.
Overall, it was fun to watch, a nice way to spend 2+ hours. It may be stupid, but who cares? Sometimes all the seriousness can get to you.
