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.
