The movie couldn’t live up to its namesake’s standards but did fairly well at the box office. The collections dipped lower after the first couple of weeks due to the Mumbai train blasts and the Cricket series. But, the movie was appreciated by the ones who got into the theatres. The film earned Rs. 28.52 crores and crossed the mark of 10-week showing at the theatres. The film was an above average grosser for a successful year for the comic genre.

Synopsis: The film revolves around the lives of Gopal (Ajay Devgan), Lucky (Tusshar Kapoor), Mahadev (Arshad Warsi) and Laxmi (Sharman Joshi) – 4 guys bound together by their child like notoriety, aimlessness and petty business of conning people for fun and money. They land up at an elderly blind couple’s house and one of them pretends to be their son and they find shelter and luxury in the house. Later on, the truth is revealed as the four fight bad guys for the elderly couple.

A rare attempt at comedy by Ajay Devgan was a disappointment, Arshad Warsi was again brilliant along with Tusshar Kapoor and Sharman Joshi. The film was fun-filled to the hilt though it lacked a really good storyline. In the film, Rimi Sen was reduced to a mere glam-doll on screen and was poor with whatever dialogues she had to deliver. Paresh Rawal and Sushmita Mukherjee were convincing in their role. The music by Vishal-Shekhar kept the spirits high throughout the movie.
