What I liked in the film?
It is a whacky comedy of a kind and sexy girl choosing the right guy for her. She is pure at heart and he is noble in her deeds. But the guys who try for her are ruthless and they stoop down to any lows to impress and win her.
What I did not like in the film?
Making a mockery of physically and mentally challenged people and a brutal comedy involving a dog.
The scenes I liked
1. Hero getting his thing stuck in zipper.
2. Heroine taking applying the semen of hero to her hair thinking that it is a hair gel.
Copycats:
1. The Heroine's puppy catching the crotch of hero is copied in Venkatesh's Malliswari (Trivikram-Vijaya Bhaskar film).
2. A couple of guys popping up and singing at regular intervals is adapted in Hindi flick 'Life in A Metro'.
Tailpiece:
ou can only watch this film if you have stomach to absorb gross, ruthless and dirty comedy.
