The Plot
Rajjo, Chaudhary and Liquid are three boys living together in Delhi, working well-paying jobs, partying and seeking girlfriends. As real as it gets. Then they fall in love with three girls. The movie is all about how they fall out of love.

+8 To Divyendu Sharma for his role as Liquid, the angry Tourette’s syndrome-afflicted geek. Great lines. Great delivery.
+3 For the threesome’s home because bachelor pads are that messy. Plus two for the local wit. Plus one for Facebook.
+10 For excellent choices in the karaoke competition. Minus two for including Sexy Bitch in the line-up. Which karaoke machine has a song with two lines of lyrics?
+5 For the girl-who-picks-up-boy-but-notreally- pick-up scene. Good wingmanship.
+10 For the shirtless Chaudhary (Rayo Bhakhirta) and his naked birthday song. Keep that shirt off, darling.
+5 Because this is Delhi fiction. Delhi girls are good until they shift stance making you scream “Dump her!”
+5 For the boys’ studied ironic homoeroticism, calling each other girls’ names and talking about one another’s ‘dagmagata imaan!’
+2 For Rajat calling girlfriend ‘babu’, the perfect relationshippy nickname and using it consistently throughout. Works wonderfully in the pitch-perfect fight between guilt-controlled Rajat (Kartikeya Tiwari) and his passive aggressive girlfriend.
+10 For self-denigrating male bashing by the boys! Followed by confusion on how to deal with their ‘love’ and relationships.
-10For the post-interval Goa slowdown. Plus five for recovering from the slump. Oooh lovely, the boys have balls! They get angry!
-7 For going into tragicomedy mode. OMG, you killed the funny. You bastards!
+3For keeping the confrontation scene among the boys short and unresolved.
+5 For the silent finale.With the bucket, the slap and the maa ki aankh we’re back in the game!
