BAANKEY KI CRAZY BARAAT

Director Aijaz Khan got together some brilliant actors to support the lead pair, and when you see the movie you realize those supporting actors performed so well they owned the movie. The film lacked budget for publicity, big lead stars but the supporting cast performs their roles honestly.

The film begins with the demented Baankey (Rajpal Yadav), a dysfunctional 35-year-old, praying to 'Kaamdev' to get married. A panditji  is called home to view his kundali only to find that marital bliss is impossible as Baankey's stars dont allow him to do so. The enters the scene Lallan(Vijay Raaz), a local goon who is also the best friend cum brother of Baankey with his chamchas. He threatens Pandit Ji to 'fix the stars' in Baankey's Kundli and get him a bride by hook or by crook. Further forced by Baankey's father Nandlal(Rakesh Bedi) and Uncle Kanhaiyalal(Sanjay Mishra), Pandit ji gives in a solution : Find a guy who will go being Baankey and perform all the rituals and then get the bride home to Baankey. 

They find a guy too but he ends up running away with Pandit's daughter just before the wedding, then comes Virat(Satyajeet Dubey) whose father has a debt on his head and is under a threat by Baankey's Chacha Kanhaiyalal, so he readily agrees for 25% of his loan amount to be Baankey. Which he later on doubles,triples and finally gets all his debt forgiven by Kanhaiyalal and only then agrees to marry, claiming that he isnt doing it for money but only for ' BAANKEY'!  Virat ends up falling in love with 'Proxy' iness.. (Tia Bajpai), this leads to a series of misadventures, bringing us to a predictable end. 

Talking about performances: The lead pair does little, for the movie. Almost no one wold be clear if they have ever seen Satyajeet Dubey before. But friends! He was introduced in Roshan Abbas's 'Always Kabhi Kabhi' he tries to do all he could but that craziness or comic timing was missing. Same goes with Tia Bajpai, who looks good and tries to perform her role with honesty but dialogues do not support her much and her act falls.  Rajpal Yadav is repetitive, not funny and unbearable. 

Coming to supporting actors: All are great but Vijay Raaz and Sanjay Mishra are two pillars who try to hold the comedy act together. They can seriously sleepwalk through such roles now. Their act, dialogues and reactions does make one laugh.But after the intermission everything seems boring, except for a few lines. They even have a servant named 'Bhootni ke'!  Anil Mange shines through the few scenes he gets as a failed lover of the bride. An ensemble of great actors but not properly utilized to their full capacity is what i felt.  
All songs are almost forced and very wrongly placed, only one wedding song that works a little, maybe. 
Its a wedding that if you attend do carry, 'Hajmola'.
