Lara Dutta plays Mihika Banerjee, an uptight investment banker who is the senior VP of a 200-crore company, drinks Evian water and is obsessively clean. This is the type of woman who never cracks a smile, who after five years after marriage doesn’t have a child because she doesn’t want the responsibility and who is willing to travel on her own birthday because she doesn’t care about spending it with her husband. In other words, a woman in urgent need of a life-lesson on getting her priorities right. The perfect man to deliver this is the zarda-chewing Manu Gupta, played by Vinay Pathak, a shop owner from Karol Bagh, who is loud, talkative and relentlessly crass. But unlike Mihika, Manu has his heart in the right place and over the course of a long, unexpected journey, he teaches her what’s important.
the film has so much soul, specially in the climax, it makes up for any shortcomings in story and vision. Also, the narrative has a sweet simplicity which transports you into the onscreen journey and makes you a willing witness to the bond-building between "bhaisaheb" and "behenji". If Lara Dutta and Vinay Pathak carry the film through with their spontaneity, it is the fringe characters too who add spunk to the road show. And in case you need some more masala, there's Yana Gupta reinventing Zeenat Aman's classic item number "Laila o Laila".
