There was a coffee
advertisement where tennis star Sania Mirza is overwhelmed by the
weight of expectations to know that parents had been naming their
daughters Sania after her name. I hope she doesn’t watch Sangeeth
Sivan’s mad-cap-sleaze-flick ‘Apna Sapna Money Money’ for it seems
that the director is more obsessed with her ‘assets’ than her
fantastic game. The manner in which Sania…Has been badnam(ed) in
this Mukta Arts film is enough for her to file a PIL in the court.
As for this B-grade film….It’s sure to go down well with the
front-bencher-penny-throwing-crowd. And why on earth Riteish
Deshmukh and Anupam Kher have to resort to such banal humour…Beats
me! |

Sangeeth Sivan must
have been encouraged by his Ekta Kapoor Sick-Flick (Oops….make that
sex film) ‘Kya Kool Hain Hum’ to have attempted an ode to money
(make that ode to cleavage) with double entendre jokes and a wafer
thin plot (make that virtual wafer thin). I was hopeful of watching
something different from Shreyas Talpade especially after ‘Dor’ but
I was sorely disappointed with his majnu Arjun act who’d do anything
to attract attention of simple belle Shivani (Riya Sen). Living in
his gali mohalla, Shivani is the daughter of an educated Shastri ji
(Anupam Kher) who turns horny when he heads into Sania (Riteish
Deshmukh in one of his many disguises) and would do anything to lay
his hands on oranges. Oranges!....Forget it! |

Kishan (Riteish) is an
imposter friend of Arjun. Now, this friend himself needs some help
as a Kanchacheena Rana (Chunky Pandey) is after his life for he has
cheated him in a chit fund scam in the bikini-friendly Goa. On the
run Kishan changes faces with a reckless felicity. While doing so,
he bumps into Sania, the big thief (Celina Jaitley) with nothing but
a skimpy blue dress to wear throughout the film that reveals more
than what it hides. Sania is being hauntingly hunted by Inspector
Na-Maane (Suneil Shetty) and his deputy Borkar (How apt). The Rs 50
crore worth diamonds lands up in Kishan’s custody. And Carlos
(Jackie Shroff), the post-dated-check-Don doesn’t like it. This
madness is catapulted to another level by Chote Sarkar (Rajpal Yadav)
with his penchant for emulating the stark silence of Amitabh
Bachchan in Ramu’s ‘Sarkar’ while making a name for himself in the
underworld. It’s another story that he is operating from a seedy
‘Tabela’ with hundreds of cows for company |

Sangeeth Sivan is
aiming to make a brand for himself like Priyadarshan, especially the
climax-confusion where everybody is after everybody else. While
Priyan’s humour is mostly in good taste (excuse ‘Garam Masala’)
Sivan’s choice of comedy ranges from fantastic comical lines to
banal-below-the-belt howlers. The nok-jhok between Rajpal Yadav and
his crony Sunil Pal is hilarious. It’s good to see The Laughter
Challenge Champion Pal getting a role that makes him get noticed
(‘Phir Hera Pheri’ was a joke on his talent). Riteish too is fast
emerging as an actor of immense potential (Though he should resist
from being typecast as the sex-flick-expert type). I also wish I
could have seen him more in his jeans and Ts than the Salwar Kameez
of his drag queen get-up. Koena Mitra didn’t have to try too hard to
be the original drag-queen as she looks a weirdo with those kohl
eyes and a strangely structured face that makes her more manly than
anything else. She sizzles on the saucy numbers alright. But it’s a
long time before she could think of being taken seriously as an
actress. |

Riya Sen, Celina
Jaitley and Shreyas Talpade are wasted. As for Anupam Kher, his
blind act evokes laughs in the beginning but his obsessive love for
Sania is nauseating. An actor of his stature should desist from such
imbecile roles. Suneil Shetty surprisingly impresses with his
Marathi Inspector Na-Maane. It’s good that he has accepted his fate
as a character artiste. At least he doesn’t have to carry the burden
of taking a film on his own shoulders. Chunky Pandey as the Nepali
lord Rana is a treat. This guy is finally finding the right roles
for himself. |

Pritam’s music
is club house mix. ‘Paisa Paisa’ and ‘Dil Mein Baji Guitar’ are
worth ho-hum on the dance floor. But they seem more or less forced
during the film. Finally, ‘Apna Sapna Money Money’ is a film that
you can enjoy on a stag night out but if you take your wife or
girlfriend along, then be prepared for the repercussions. The
rickshawala, taxiwala crowd will be patronizing it anyway. Expect
Money at the Box Office…Good News Mr Ghai.
