When a film's tag-line reads: 'Dimag mat lagana, kyunki inme hai nahi,' you know you are signing up to watch a mindless comedy. But, by the end of this film, my brain was battered to pulp with the inconsistent and stale jokes. John Abraham's character is a panauti, which means he brings bad luck to every business he's involved in, including those he starts with Arshad Warsi and Pulkit Samrat's characters. Their trysts with such projects brings them into the bad books of a gangster (played by Saurabh Shukla), and his brother-in-law (Anil Kapoor). What ensues is chaos. Multiple characters are thrown into this mix, including a villain (Inaamulhaq) whose character is inspired by absconding diamond merchant Nirav Modi. A reference to pop culture is also represented with a hospital called Dr Trump.

Kriti Kharbanda as a dimwitted girl, Ileana D'Cruz, who fails to get one facial expression on point, and Urvashi Rautela, who seems to mimic a ghost with those hideous outfits, are meant to add to the glamour quotient.
