The home delivery Movie Review

Not Funny!
By Nikhil Kumar
Rating: 0.5/5

Sujoy Ghosh's movie 'Home Delivery' is like a beautiful package empty inside. Too much emphasis has been given on a stylized presentation of the story rather than ensuring a good script in the first place.

Starring Vivek Oberoi, Ayesha Takia, Mahima Chaudhary and Boman Irani, the movie hardly passes off even as a light hearted entertainer. The intended humour simply falls flat and most of the characters in the movie end up looking as mere caricatures.

'Home Delivery' tells the story of Sunny Malhotra (Vivek Oberoi), a column writer for a News daily. Popularly known as Gyaan Guru, Sunny doles out advices on relationships - infatuation, love, breakups, infidelity, adultery etc. He also has on his hands a project to write a script for filmmaker Karan Johar.

An easygoing personality, Sunny has a charming way of molding things and situations in his favour. He plays pranks on Pizza delivery boys and gets the food for free by convincing them they are late in delivery. He is committed and yet not committed to his fianc�e Jenny (Ayesha Takia). Jenny wants to settle down but he uses his polite charm (again) to postpone the possibility of marriage. After all, the gyaan guru can't go wrong.

On the sidelines there are other characters. There is Michael (Boman Irani), an imbecilic 51-year-old man who is a simpleton and takes every word literally. Michael is not able to keep any job long enough. But he vows to keep his latest job, that of a Pizza delivery boy, or man instead.

Then there are Sunny's gluttonous neighbors (Saurabh Shukla and Tiku Talsania), the compulsive babblers who eat no less than they talk. There is Sunny's boss (Juhi Chawla), a suave woman whose snub is no less pleasant than the dimples on her cheeks.

Sunny appears on a chat show in which he comes face to face with his teenage fantasy - a south Indian buxom actress Maya (Mahima Chaudhary). When Sunny tells Maya that he is writing a script for Karan Johar and has a slot open for an actress, Maya's pallu drops. Sunny ogles. It is a sign! He knows. He is a gyaan guru, after all.

But the invincible gyaan guru finds himself in a fix on the Diwali eve when he has a date with Maya and has to finish his deadline for script too. He also has to keep Jenny, his fianc�e, out of the way. He is completely in the power of libido. Love can wait.

In this mayhem, a simple solution to all of Sunny's problems is provided by Michael, the nondescript Pizza delivery man.

Although the basic story idea behind 'Home Delivery' is not uninteresting, what translates on the screen is far from humorous. The movie starts off well, but the story loses direction in the first half itself. The remaining flick becomes just a compilation of assorted funny scenes. Even the music and songs in the movie are below par.

Vivek Oberoi's act of a funny and charming gyaan guru is simply ludicrous. Vivek overacts, hams and stretches the histrionic to such a limit that the credibility of his character snaps and fails to click.

Ayesha Takia efficiently brings out the shades of a sweet and strong girl in her character.

Mahima Chaudhary is sensuous to the core. The dropping of her pallu and the revealing of her cleavage will sure pop many an eye among the viewers.

Boman Irani's character is a bit caricaturish, but the actor excels in his performance. Saurabh Shukla and Tiku Talsania do chip in some good comedy and make you smile.

Sujoy Ghosh has tried to make his movie interesting by giving it a new cinematic treatment and using cameo appearances by the likes of Abhishek Bachchan, Sunil Shetty, Karan Johar and Naseeruddin Shah.

But these embellishments can't salvage a movie if it lacks a taut script and witty dialogues, both of which are missing in 'Home Delivery'.
