Well, I came into this film knowing nothing of Baliwood so needless to say, I was quite surprised. The movie follows the madcap exploits of 2 college guys known as the singular entity, "Chantu-Bantu." In this three-plus hour long farce, Chantu-Bantu do everything from dressing in drag to sneak into a girls' dorm to tricking a girl to go out with one of their friends by making her believe he's dying of AIDS.
Combine a ton of these strange, litte, almost episodic plotlines with a few zany, wildly cheoreographed, music videos, some random action scenes, bright colors, bad clothing, and a little obvious homo-eroticism, and you have an incredibly entertaining film-- that is if you have three-plus hours to kill. I recommend watching it over the course of like 3 days.

I have seen this movie more than 100 times.Maybe somebody could say that how much time you've wasted, my reply will be that I am not stopped.This movie will give you a different type of smile on your face.Literally speaking,you will not get bored anytime during the entire movie.Its a cult comedy movie.You should watch it if you haven't watched it yet.What a movie...!!! Awesome...!!!

Sharman Joshi debutted with GODMOTHER(1999) where hardly people noticed him and then he did a cameo in LAJJA(2001) but he became famous after STYLE
The film is a routine college campus fare which leads to a thriller.etc
N.Chandra after the disastrous SHIKHARI(2000) tried to make a comedy with new actors
There are some funny comedy scenes like the one where they fool Sikandar Kharbanda and also their plans of getting rich and dressing up like girls sadly the gags are too crude in many places
The murder mystery is well handled too and the film ends on a good note but the end is too stretched
Direction by N Chandra is decent Music is good especially XCUSE ME
Amongst actors Sharman steals the show and displays spontaneity and flair for comedy He overshadows everyone and is one of the main reason to watch the film though now he has come a long way Sahil Khan is too conscious and doesn't match up to Sharman though he has some good funny scenes Riya Sen and the other heroine annoy to hell The vamp is too theatrical Shakti Kapoor is okay Sikandar Kharbanda is funny Vishwajeet Pradhan is funny too
