Teri Bhabhi Hai Pagle Review: Movie Falls Flat

Teri Bhabhi Hai Pagle
Cast: Krushna Abhishek, Rajniesh Duggall, Nazia Hussain
Director: Vinod Tiwary

Half an hour into viewing, one notices the plot nose diving till it reaches a point of no hope. What starts off as a comedy, inadvertently translates into a social cause film with messages against film piracy. The intended laughs, all along the middle stretch of repetitive situations, end on a note of embarrassment and its denouement is a thread of preachy litany. It is the amateurish writing and mediocre direction that lets this film down.

The cast, comprising actors seen mostly on television, tries to keep the film afloat with their over-the-top performances. While Nazia Hussain and Rajneish Duggal are sincere in their delivery, Krushna looks jaded performing in his usual demeanor. Mukul Dev tries to underplay his character of the don and he does it well. Deepshika as his wife Sulochana tries to give a variant to the stereotyped character she plays and she excels.

Overall, the irony of "Teri Bhabhi Hai Pagle" is that it fails as a satire on a film that fails, by failing itself.
