There is no end in sight to the woes of Veer and Prem, played by Fardeen Khan and Ajay Devgan. Veer, a wannabe rockstar, and Prem, a car aficionado, are good at one thing - cooking up lies and fooling other people to cover up their own truth.

Veer has been footing the bills of his luxurious life in Goa besides helping the cash-strapped Prem from the pocket money he gets from big brother Dharam (Sanjay Dutt) who doesn’t stay in Goa. Veer has lied to his brother that he’s married to Vidya (Mugdha Godse) to get thicker wads of pocket money. Prem, in turn, is married to Jhanvi (Bipasha Basu). She runs his ancestral gym with second hand treadmills that often speed up instead of stopping.
All is well, until Dharam shows up to meet his younger brother and his wife. Mistakenly, he takes Bipasha as Fardeen’s wife and Mugdha as Devgan’s girlfriend. What follows is a comedy of mistaken identities as Prem and Veer pile up lie upon lie to keep the charade going until times comes for Dharam to leave for his home in Lusoto. But then, there’s a coup in Lusoto and Dharam’s stay is extended.

On the sidelines there’s a menagerie of madcap characters including a tenant who’s eager to move into Veer’s sprawling bungalow. He’s turns up with all the furniture loaded in a tempo outside Veer’s house but gets a bashing from Dharam. Or the local don (Johnny Lever) who seems like the offspring of Sir Judah from Karz, for he talks with his cronies by jangling a spoon inside a glass.
Rohit Shetty, the director of ‘Golmaal’ series, comes up with a breezy, bouncy comedy that abounds with silliness but still packs in ample laughs. True to his signature style, the young director spices the comedy up with tons of action. Cars turn turtle, get blown, and even do the pirouette.

Ajay Devgn (with an ‘a’ flicked out of his surname) does some dangerous stunts besides showing his comic flair. He is best in the scenes with Sanjay Dutt. Playing a suspicious brother given to groping the women around him in moments of panic, Dutt becomes the catalyst for humour in many a scene. Fardeen is lovable as the over-the-top goofball. Bipasha and Mugdha are mainly there to glam up the comedy. Johnny Lever and Sanjay Mishra chip in with their brand of humour.

The movie could have done better without a song (Pritam) or two - they’re peppy but nothing to hum about. The action is good but the climax - when a bunch of Africans land up in Goa - gets a bit chaotic.
Still, the movie is fun to watch.
