BOLLYWOOD BE-CAREFUL
EDITOR'S PICK
Rating: 1/2*
High on testosterone and low on IQ, Be-Careful is an eyesore.
Inspired by films like Masti and No Entry, this comic
drama is the story of two promiscuous and wanton husbands Sameer (Rajneish
Duggal) and Anand (Zaid Hamid).
The movie begins with Sameer, a businessman, interviewing a prospective
employee. What`s your name? he asks. Meri lele, comes
the reply. Sameer pounces on the woman, she resists. Following the commotion,
Sameer`s business partner Anand enters the cabin, only to repeat the sequence.
Later, the candidate clears the confusion that her name is Mary and she is
married to one Mr. Lele, hence her name in Mary Lele.
Fed-up with the antics of their husbands, their wives -- Anjali (Tanisha
Mukherjee) and Kiran (Kiran Rathore), along with their fathers-in-law Asrani and
Tiku Talsania, try to teach a lesson to the wannabe studs.
The men are banished without money to a Thailand hotel with several restrictions
that would even put a monastery to shame. But Alas! They are hard to reform.
All the comedians in the film, right from Rajpal Yadav, Sanjay Mishra, Asrani,
Tiku Talsania to Shakti Kapoor are wasted. With a wafer thin and a shoddily put
script, non-energetic performances and a jarring screenplay, the film gives a
jolt to one`s sensibilities.
The film tilts heavily on done-to-death scenes, puns and linguistic errors. With
heavy punning on names like - Lele, Bure Lal (Shakti Kapoor), Kujlee, U-ganda,
this film is no laugh riot by any imagination. Also with dialogues like,
Hey, smart, dashing, handsome, awesome, how have you changed the mausam?
This film is sheer trash.
On the technical front, though Najeeb Khan`s cinematography is decent, the
visual impact is lost due to the various special effects, making the film look
gimmicky.
The music is nothing to write about. The item number Will you be my
Maahiye starring Tulip Joshi is run of the mill. The loud screechy
background score and hollow audiography is another sore point of the film.
A word for director Chandrakant Singh. He has not improved since his first film
Rama Rama Kya Hai Drama.
Sameer(Sam) & Anand (Andy) are childhood friends. Right from their school days & even in college, they studied together. Both were ahead in studies as well as in sports. They were also the champions when it came to girl-chasing. Infect they use to bet amongst themselves as to who will bed the best girl, but it never lead to any fighting between them.

Both of them somehow succeed in befriending Poem but tell lies about Poem to each other.
