This film reminded me of the comedies Bwood produced during the 2000-2010 era. Based on the foolish pair of Santa Banta , the film shows how they are put in a secret mission and how they ultimately fulfill it, all without them knowing what is even happening.
Santa Banta jokes are pretty popular but then again they don't highlight the Sikh in a right way. By showing the Santa Banta pair as down level foolish, they have ended up insulting the Punjabis instead.
I will agree the level of foolishness of Santa Banta shown in this film after a certain time becomes so irritating that you start to feel your skin crawl with cringiness. Some of their parts were genuinely hilarious like them confusing Sonu Sultan 's name was the best part for me. Other parts were just too silly to even laugh at. Santa Banta jokes are acceptable at just written jokes level but transitioning them on screen becomes a fustrating watch because you just cannot digest the insane level stupidity that film throws at you every minute.
Despite being insanely stupid, the film does have some genuinely funny moments that i had a real good laugh . Some of Santa Banta conversations were genuinely funny. Bahadur (Johnny lever) was the star for me. His awkward Nepali accent was really funny especially when he says "Muja lao" and his partners think he wants his face burnt but actually that was his way of saying "Moja lao" (bring me the socks) and bahadur constantly getting calls from his master to open the gate (well this part many will say as again an insult to nepalis calling them gatekeepers).
The screenplay is very poorly assembled. It just randomly moves ahead with no flow whatsoever just to incorporate the funny moments. Songs pop up out of nowhere especially that one song where Santa Banta dance with the girls was so random i was taken aback actually. All in all, theres actually no story no screenplay, just they wanted to show a rather ummm...racist comedy film.
Overall, a film that reminded me of the old Bwood comedies from the 2000s but can only be enjoyed if you (can) throw away those racist thoughts in your brain for a 100 mins or so but still as i said, the stupidity reaches to such absurd level that you will definitely feel your skin crawl with awkwardness and cringiness. No this film can't match up to any Bwood comedy from the 2000s .
