Aagey Se Right (2009)

Sometimes, the weird moves just work out, to the surprise of all.
The surprise exists even despite a solid cast (this one headlined by Shreyas Talpade & Kay Kay Menon).
That's what happens with Aagey Se Right.

The story has 2 main lead guys and 2 main female leads.

One of the guys (Shreyas Talpade) is a cop who loses (actually, its stolen from him, but whatever) the gun his mother gave him (it used to belong to his father) and spends the rest of the movie chasing it. In the process, he accidentally blows up the bad guys den, saves the mayor from death by a citizen and saves the police commissioner's daughter from committing suicide. And yet he's unable to find his gun. Alongside him is a newscaster that he is enamored by (Mahi Gill), who loves asking weird questions ("Are the cops always late or not?") and asking for the viewers to send in texts. They don't meet until after he's saved the mayor (and is again looking for his gun, which the citizen tossed over the edge of the balcony, much to his angst).

The other guy (Kay Kay Menon) is a criminal who comes to Bombay with plans to blow it up. But on his first night there, he happens to lay eyes on a wannabe actress who is dancing at the bar (Shenaaz Treasurywala) and falls in love. He gets help from the guy he's living with, changes his appearances (shaves beard and all) and works on wooing her.

Of course, the true villain is not happy with this, and has to come to Bombay to try and set the bomb off. He ends up with Shreyas' gun, setting up a final match-up where Kay Kay (out to stop the bomb from exploding), the bad guy (trying to blow it all up) and Shreyas (who's just after his gun so his mom doesn't hate him) are all trying to get their wish to come true.


The acting is good on all sides. Shenaaz & Mahi don't have a ton too do, but are still solid. Kay Kay & Shreyas are amazing yet again. The guy that plays Sunny is alright too. The plot, while different, doesn't let them down. Some question, maybe, about a couple scenes, but all in all it's fine.

I love the songs. Hippie Tu Jhoom, Daav Laga, Love Flashback & Mahiya are all great. And, to keep the movie from being too long, the songs aren't present in full version... just small cut outs of them (for all except the 2nd viewing of More Piya). And in this case (unlike Deewane Huye Paagal, with Maar Sutiya, where the song was the best thing in the entire movie) that's a good thing, as it keeps the movie from being too bogged down.

Yeah, I have a weird taste in movies, so that might impact this. But seriously... it's awesome. Watch it. (And if you hate it, its time to change your movie tastes to better match mine.)
