Straight

Story: The story of straight shows ‘teda meda’ path, but what’s that? In the story there is a successful restaurant in London run by the Indian man Pintu(Vinay Pathak). A well off businessman, Pintu however is a very insecure and under-confident man, who views his own life as a string of tragicomic moments. Pintu wants to to do arrange marriage with Indian girl. when Pinu went to India to have an arranged marriage to a traditional girl who finally dumped him at the altar and eloped with her lover, Pinu is broken and disheartened…traumatized to have been the laughing stock of the evening. All is despair, until Pinu discovers that he may have found the love of his life, but is it Renu ( Gul), the curvy yet wholesome cashier employed in his Indian eatery, or Kamlesh ( Anuj), pronounced without the `h’, crack chef-cum-wannabe-stand-up comedian?
The movie is no laugh riot. It begins well with some intelligently executed sequences but soon settles down to a lazy, relaxed pace as the screenplay wobbles from one character to another. Not only is there a notable absence of some laugh-worthy humour, there’s no attempt on the director’s part to make the characters in the story relatable. The music and the background score are amateurish.

Aloo Chat

In the film “Aloo Chat” aftab shivdasani play the main character role. As the name of the movie reflects, it’s story is also the same means mixing with masala. The life of the aftab become more confusing. He likes a girl(Aamna Shariff) and also want to marry her. But there is a problem because his family don’t want him to marry with the girl of his choice. His family is very orthodox family. They want to choose girl for him of their choice.
Then what is the option for him, when his entire family is against the bride of his choice? What he has to do? he has to replace his family (that is not really possible) or his bride (which he does not want) or make an aloo chaat of his life (if not this, then what else!!). This is main twist in the story. The story is very funny that you entertain it a lot.

Dhoondte Reh Jaoge

The movie is full of entertainment. you can say it quite funny movie. In the movie the Anand(Kunal Khemu) is a chartered accountant and Raj(Paresh Rawal) is a film producer.
They want to make money. For this they make a huge plan. According to the plan they decide to produce a feature film. Actually they want to make a film so badly so that people would reject it on the first day of its realese. Anand and Raj believe this would give them a foolproof chance to decamp with the remaining huge amount they've raised for the making of this venture. They want to see movie as one of the biggest flop movie but the film turns out to be a huge hit. The result is quite opposite as they want. You can see, how they handle the situation now in the movie.
