Plot

[edit]

Mumbai lives in fear of a notorious thief who calls himself Chindi Chor and steals whenever and whatever he desires without any regard to security or police protection. When Ghoshal announces the exhibition and subsequent auction of a crown once worn by Emperor Babushah, Chindi challenges him that he is going to steal this priceless crown, and Ghoshal accepts the challenge and hires private security guards. Chindi carries out the theft, and two of the security guards, Vikram and Ajay, and an accomplice, John D'Souza, become prime suspects and are on the run. They must apprehend Chindi and recover the crown to absolve themselves of this crime. While being chased by security guards, the trio crashes into a wall and is transported back to the 10th century, straight into the palace of Emperor Babushah himself. The trio thinks they are on the set of a Bollywood film and takes nothing seriously until they are imprisoned. It is then the hapless trio realise that they must not only escape but must also take the crow, back with them to the 21st century to absolve themselves of this crime. Only a miracle can get them back to the 21st century.

Reception

[edit]

Taran Adarsh of IndiaFM gave the film 1.5 out of 5, writing, "On the whole, FUN2SHH has an interesting first half, but an uninspiring second half takes away the sheen from the enterprise. The film has some curiosity value, but the content [script] does not match the expectations one has from a subject like this. "[4] Jyoti Shukla of Rediff.com wrote, "Fun2shh appears to be a mix of a few episodes of the television serial Chandrakanta, a few Asterix comics and some Bollywood song and dance masala. The result is neither satirical nor comical. Just a test of the viewers' patience."[5]
