Chasme Baddoor, a remake of the 1981 film starring Farooq Sheikh,
which opened past weekend, fits in the third category – the ho-hum.
Weighed down with the premise of “Har Ek Friend Kamina Hota Hai”,the movie directed by David Dhawan (without his Govinda-esque flair), crackles, pops and fizzles on borderline “LOL” material.
Omi (Divyendu Sharma), a lame impromptu-poet, and Jai (Siddharth), a ham-actor who goes into Jim Carrey-esque paroxysms, are best evil buds to Sid (Ali Zafar), a goody-goody boy next door with a monotone voice. The trio, near-penniless (as college students of this type in movies usually are), live to dupe their landlady Jospehine (Lilette Dubey) and the owner of a local pub/restaurant Joseph (Rishi Kapoor) – who, if judged by the similarity of their names, are a pair made in Bollywood-heaven.
