What happens when all the Bollywood comedians come together in a movie ? The produce a below average comedy

This film reminded me of the comedies Bwood produced during the 2000-2010 era. Based on the foolish pair of Santa Banta , the film shows how they are put in a secret mission and how they ultimately fulfill it, all without them knowing what is even happening.

Santa Banta jokes are pretty popular but then again they don't highlight the Sikh in a right way. By showing the Santa Banta pair as down level foolish, they have ended up insulting the Punjabis instead.

I will agree the level of foolishness of Santa Banta shown in this film after a certain time becomes so irritating that you start to feel your skin crawl with cringiness. Some of their parts were genuinely hilarious like them confusing Sonu Sultan 's name was the best part for me. Other parts were just too silly to even laugh at. Santa Banta jokes are acceptable at just written jokes level but transitioning them on screen becomes a fustrating watch because you just cannot digest the insane level stupidity that film throws at you every minute.

Despite being insanely stupid, the film does have some genuinely funny moments that i had a real good laugh . Some of Santa Banta conversations were genuinely funny. Bahadur (Johnny lever) was the star for me. His awkward Nepali accent was really funny especially when he says "Muja lao" and his partners think he wants his face burnt but actually that was his way of saying "Moja lao" (bring me the socks) and bahadur constantly getting calls from his master to open the gate (well this part many will say as again an insult to nepalis calling them gatekeepers).

The screenplay is very poorly assembled. It just randomly moves ahead with no flow whatsoever just to incorporate the funny moments. Songs pop up out of nowhere especially that one song where Santa Banta dance with the girls was so random i was taken aback actually. All in all, theres actually no story no screenplay, just they wanted to show a rather ummm...racist comedy film.

Overall, a film that reminded me of the old Bwood comedies from the 2000s but can only be enjoyed if you (can) throw away those racist thoughts in your brain for a 100 mins or so but still as i said, the stupidity reaches to such absurd level that you will definitely feel your skin crawl with awkwardness and cringiness. No this film can't match up to any Bwood comedy from the 2000s .

There is one thing when jokes are taken in good humour. But this outright racism, making an entire movie on the account of Santa Banta jokes(that too terrible ones). Sikhs have done a lot for India and the community but still are the center of jokes. The outright courage/stupidity of the producers was to give a disclaimer in the beginning that this movie is dedicated to all the sikhs who have contributed to the society by either giving their lives or working hard in their profession.

Is this the tribute you pay? By insulting them?

The producers won't understand this but whatever religion you are imagine yourself sitting in a movie theatre with a group of people of different castes laughing at jokes of your entire race? The producers won't get it. I'm surprised senior actor such as Boman Irani didn't get it.

Next time try making jokes at Islam and see if the movie even releases. Just terribly sad state of affairs in Indian cinema. The makers and actors should be ashamed of themselves. Absolutely disgraceful!

Spy comedy has great potential, with the Johnny English franchise being more than enough to prove my point. Directing is poor and lazy. Even good comedy actors haven't been able to deliver an even remotely funny comedy. Story is boring. Don't do what I did and waste your time and money.
