There is nothing called logic and narration in this flick. The writer definitely deserves a trophy for pinning up a tale that is dependent on a dead body. Shakti Kapoor plays the immortal dead body which dances to music, drives a car, completes the formalities in the bank, reaches the place where the booty [Rs. 30 crores] is hidden and even fights the goons in the end. Wait, there’s more…the dead body falls off from the hotel, is thrown in the sea but returns to the shore, it meets with an accident but the body shows no bruises, is even hidden in a refrigerator but it remains normal… now, doesn’t that sound fun…Hahaha!
This film would have certainly be a blockbuster had it been released in the 1980s but in today’s times this plot will not manage to pull any crowds to the theatres. Except for a few funny moments NPD has nothing much to offer. The music is stale and out of place. Cinematography is fine.
Performance wise, everyone is hammy. Sanjay Dutt has played similar roles in many David Dhawan’s films in the past whereas Saif also makes his first attempt at this non stop nonsense. The actresses Bipasha and Kim are expressionless. Shakti Kapoor is good all throughout.
Watch this one, if you have nothing else to do this Sunday…
