Badmaash Company

A gang of young things want to get rich quick (don’t we all?). The difference between them and us is that they actually go ahead and try, in a somewhat shady way, and so follows their escapades from Mumbai to New York and Las Vegas.

Of course, in addition to a good disguise, living the life of a hustler requires a massive dose of glamour, so expect sexy women, gambling, drinking and partying to form the basis of this rather pointless script.

The young things in question are Karan (Shahid Kapoor), Chandu (Vir Das), Tenzing aka Zing (Meiyang Chang) and Bulbul (Anushka Sharma), firm favourites on the movie circuit but none of whom show their best form here. This is an undemanding, mindless movie – the kind that you choose when you’re too hungover to focus on anything else.

Rating: 2 outta 5.
