Diamonds worth ten crores are stolen from dangerous Don, Papa. The diamonds accidentally fall in the hands of young love birds - Chandu (Upen Patel) and Chandni (Tanisha), who quickly hide them in a car. Papa and his idiotic henchmen Alberts(Vrijesh Hirjee) and Pintos (Manoj Pahva) are desperately hunting for the diamonds while hot headed police officer Mayawati Chautala (Neetu Chandra) is on the prowl looking for offenders of any kind.
Enter the first Laxmi Narayan (Tusshar Kapoor). He’s from a khandani mafia family and his mother prays that with a few murders under his belt, he will be settled for life. After botching up badly in his early attempts, he’s got a final chance to redeem himself as a Bhai. He comes to Hotel Blue Diamond, Pondicherry because he’s taken supari to bump of Papa (Mukesh Tiwari).
Enter the second Laxmi Narayan (Suniel Shetty). He’s an MBA from Darjeeling and lives his professional life by following two simple rules - 1) the boss is always right. 2) If the boss is wrong, follow rule number 1. He is sent to Hotel Blue Diamond, Pondicherry to collect a new car for his boss from Laila (Sameera Reddy).
The third Laxmi Narayan (Paresh Rawal) is a hawker who has made so much money selling underwear on the footpath, that he has set up a lingerie factory for his son. His son sends him to Hotel Blue Diamond, Pondicherry to collect lingerie samples from upcoming designer Jiya (Esha Deol).
One… 2… Three…Laxmi Narayans in the same place at the same time.
One… 2… Three…Laxmi Narayans waiting for messages at the hotel reception desk.
One… 2… Three…Laxmi Narayans getting letters and photographs meant for the other.
First Laxmi Narayan gets lingerie designer Jiya’s photo and goes to kill her, only to end up as her hero. Second Laxmi Narayan gets Papa’s photo and goes to collect the car from him, only to be mistaken for a killer and gets beaten black and blue. Third Laxmi Narayan gets Laila’s photo and asks her to show him her underwear, only to be branded an old pervert.
Meanwhile Chandu and Chandni are determined to stop anybody from buying the car where they have hidden the diamonds. But Laila has to sell the car to save her showroom. And Jiya has to sell her designs to save herself from lecherous Mende’s clutches.
One…2.. Three - A case of not one mistaken identity but three!
One…2.. Three - A crazy bunch of people doing the wrong things for the right reason!
One…2.. Three - A laugh riot from beginning to end!!
Bad things about One Two Three are bad script, bad screenplay, below average cinematography, hamming actors who fail at comedy, dumb actresses and forgettable music from Raghav Sachar. The few good things about One Two Three are: Sanjay Mishra is outstanding in his performance, Manoj Pahwa is brilliant, good editing, usage of funny sound-effects and above all the movie is a great stress buster.
Coming to the performances of other actors, Sunil Shetty is good, Paresh Rawal repeats his monotonous Hera Pheri Act (I am sick of this), Upen Patel- no comments, Mukesh Tiwari and Vrajesh Hirjee are ok, Tusshar Kapoor needs to work on his dialogue delivery, Esha Deol looks dumb, Sameera Reddy’s act is a dud (like her Race’s performance), Tanishaa is bad and Neetu Chandra overacts.
Folks don’t expect anything great from the movie and you might actually end up enjoying it, otherwise it’s a strict no-no, ‘coz the three hours spent on a dingy seat in One Two Three’s torture room can be worse than hell.
Months after the release of OM SHANTI OM and WELCOME, a film has managed to take a stupendous opening at the box office. RACE, the film that Bollywood was looking forward to after a relative lean 2008 (that only had JODHAA AKBAR making a mark), has got audience back into the theaters.
Featuring a young and hot star cast, like Saif Ali Khan, Akshay Khanna, Bipasha Basu, Katrina Kaif and Anil Kapoor, the film as a lot going for it as acting talent. It has been shot in exotic locales ranging from Dubai to Durban. The multistarrer is especially notable for its action thrills. Abbas Mustan has endowed it with some characteristic adrenaline pumping action in what is being touted as their most stylish and fast paced product. It is a story of murder, deceit, adultery and theft set against the backdrop of horse racing, providing an ideal plot from the Abbas Mustan stable. “It’s a commercial film. Full of twists and turns, the plot is the hero of it. Where nothing is what it seems. It keeps you guessing and its fun,” according to Saif Ali Khan. “Race is about insurance fraud, murder, adultery, deceit, insider trading gambling, lies and racing…pretty much a normal day in Abbas Mustan’s life,” he quipped. The stunts are amazing and a veritable treat for action lovers. Action scenes have been enacted with a lot of care and planning. Saif and co-stars have had a lot of jumping to do-off buildings, vehicles etc. “To dive off a 30th floor, to me, is a big thing. But, we did it three-four times and afterwards it was fun. I enjoyed the cable work. There is a lot of falling off buildings, jumping off buildings, diving off. I think my character seems to love jumping off heights,” said Saif, Saif and his costars are pretty confident about the movie with its powerful dialogues and racy stunts. Akshay Khanna has always been lucky with Abbas Mustan. Katrina Kaif has just had a hit filled year in 2007.Action director Allan Amin is fresh from the experience of the hit Dhoom series. Composer Preetam has already hit the top spot with three songs ‘ Sanson Ki’, ‘Pehli Nazar Mein’ and ‘Zara Zara’. And Saif is the man of the moment in Bollywood. The film, which will hit screens on March 21, is also being dubbed into Tamil and Telugu and will release simultaneously across the country along with the Hindi version of the film.
