Idiotic hack crooks, a babe, a safe, a plan and a mad mystic. Add them all up and you get the best comedy you've never heard of.
Even with some a-list star power (at least a-minus...okay, b-plus?) this movie got very little publicity. But that does not diminish its genius.
Terrific writing, solid delivery and a believable group of characters. Some truly classic lines, and a fun twist at the end.
Makers don't have any idea about making of this film for sure. There is not any story. Headache in the name of screenplay and dialogues are full of unnecessary stuffed slang in the name of reality. First introduction of 'Bichchi', played by Annu Kapoor, although character's name was interesting, in mental asylum initially looks interesting but then it gives strong feeling of the irritating stuffs coming ahead. His character is established like some hypnotist at spiritual note with added cruelty, then he becomes narrator and ends up with some God's angle, preaching all idiotic crooks in irritating way in unbearable climax. His escape from asylum is magical because makers are also confused about the way, so they took help of miracle. Then next Character Puppy, played by 'Manoj Bajpeyee' gets introduced, home items being taken away for not repaying the loan, so convenient that he needs money so he has to do something even drastically wrong. His way of planning his own murder, yes it's clear in screenplay, no guess or thrill game for the sake of black comedy was just killing of creativity. Few needy and greedy friends of Puppy even a lawyer, a girl, mad in his love, a Police inspector, a hidden treasure in an old mental person's haveli, which ownership was frequently challenged by an old lunatic lady. All this were competent to make a movie according to makers. Second half is very bad and long night sequences make it unbearable for eyes too with some tangy light effect. It is so sad to watch good actors like Manoj Bajpeyee, Kay Kay Menon, Vijay Raaz, Anupam Kher, being scarified in the name of absurdity oops comedy.
This movie contains some great actors, who gave good performances but unfortunately this stands out a comic movie. No seriously I mean it. Comic in sense of directorial nonsense. No Story, No Screenplay just stretching the scenes. The only reason I watched this movie till end because the performances. Just it.
Recently saw Saat Uchakkey and loved it! It is in the league of Hera Pheri and Jane Bhi Do Yaro. It's writing is like Guy Ritchie meets Murakami. I am so glad this masterpiece kept the "A" certification and didn't let go of the language because the dialogues comes out best the way it is right now in the film. One character(Manoj Bajpayee) approaches another to get him to take the responsibility for a crime. As he can't do it, so he suggests someone else. The third character can't do it either. Soon a half dozen wackiest men are in search of someone to be the hoodwink and take the responsibility of a mock murder. They eventually meet a wannabe lawyer(Vijay Raaz) who sets the stage for an out of this world comedy drama. I had no idea it was going to be a comedy when I first started watching it but soon enough I was laughing out loud. It's a little slow, but WTF many caper films usually build slowly. But it is thoroughly enjoyable with some gags that I've never seen anywhere else in Bollywood films. Hats Off to the entire cast, you just can't say who is better than the other! If you've just recently watched bad films, and are depressed, this movie is the perfect antidote. It shows the lighter side of people who are down on their luck. Saat Uchakkey creates a fascinating world, wonderful characters, fantastic plot, stupendous soundtrack, amazing screenplay, wonderful production design and cinematography and it is funny, funny, funny....outrageously funny
