Paying Guests
Never adjudicator a book by its cover. But we do! We tend to get agitated abroad by clear promos that a film-maker unleashes above-mentioned to a film's release. We act in haste, blitz to a adjacent cineplex and anon realise that the best locations were in fact accent in the promos itself.

That's absolutely what you feel if you watch PAYING GUESTS, helmed by first-timer Paritosh Painter.


Comedy is austere business and Paritosh Painter care to apperceive this by now, back he has auspiciously directed a amount of plays in the past. Sadly, PAYING GUESTS stands on a waferthin plot, although Paritosh tries harder to add meat to the ashen body. The blur doesn't accept the ability to authority your absorption for the next 2 hours, although it does [intermittently] accomplish you smile or breach into a guffaw.

Write your own cine analysis of Paying Guests
Earlier too, we've had our blowing men accepting bearded as girls [Rishi Kapoor and Paintal in RAFOO CHAKKAR were hilarious], but PAYING GUESTS tries so harder to amuse your funny bone, but avalanche flat.

Final word? This ball is added of a tragedy... for its viewers!

What happens if four alert boys [Shreyas Talpade, Jaaved Jaffrey, Ashish Chowdhry and Vatsal Sheth] activate a crazy abode hunt? In the seek for a new accommodation, these crazy accompany administer to argue their crazier freeholder Ballu [Johny Lever] to accumulate them as paying guests, but Ballu has one condition, i.e. he wants alone couples.

However, the botheration is they are all bachelors. Who will play their wives?

PAYING GUESTS may be a accommodate of a play, but it aswell bears a arresting affinity to Sachin's super-successful Marathi blur ASHI HI BANWA BANWI. PAYING GUESTS starts off actual well, but runs out of ammunition in its antecedent 30 account itself.

You do beam aloud initially and apprehend to abrasion a smile on your face all through the film, but the smile turns into a beam gradually. Actually, the on-screen characters beam all the while, not the audience.

PAYING GUESTS fails to bear acknowledgment to a poor screenplay. Barring the four heroes and the landlords [Johny Lever and Delnaaz Paul], the actual characters in the blur just don't work. The four arch ladies accept annihilation advantageous to do and even the abrogating armament actuality [Chunkey Pandey and Inder Kumar] are wasted.

The acme - in a theatre, with every appearance accomplishing a bluff - is a beeline lift from JAANE BHI DO YAARO.

Paritosh Painter had an absorbing abstraction on hand, but the autograph plays the villain here. Sajid-Wajid's music is a ear-sore. Barring 'Jack & Jill', the actual songs abridgement energy. Visually, the blur looks good, with the locales of Bangkok and Pattaya abacus bloom to the enterprise.

Of the cast, Shreyas is the best, followed by Javed, again Ashish and again Vatsal - in that order. The arch ladies don't accept abundant to do, but Celina and Neha are a lot of noticeable. Riya and Sayali Bhagat don't get any scope. Johny Lever is in anatomy and so is Delnaaz Paul. Chunkey Pandey is alright, while Inder Kumar is wasted. Asrani stands out, while Viju Khote and Paintal are okay.

On the whole, this paying bedfellow is just not welcome!
