Story: When Baman (Sharib Hashmi) reunites with his old classmates, he attempts to fool them into giving him another interest-free loan. However, with his friends unwilling to fall for his scheme, will he manage to change their minds or face rejection?
Review: Everyone has that one no-filter, loud, and unabashedly inappropriate friend who won’t flinch from pestering you for help. In director Sumit Kulkarni’s comedy-drama, Baman Kulkarni is exactly that guy. Desperately in need of Rs 15 lakhs for his new entrepreneurial venture after two failed businesses, he finds himself in a bind. However, Baman already owes his childhood friend Akhil (Shyamraj Patil) Rs 18 lakhs, prompting the latter to warn their other buddy, Karan Mehta (Sanjay Bishnoi), against giving him a loan. What unfolds is a hilarious exchange as Baman invites himself to Karan’s house and overstays his welcome. The narrative cleverly explores themes of friendship and how growing up often pulls childhood friends apart.
Written by Vijaysinh Thopte, the film thrives on repartee and situational comedy, showcasing the skill of the writer-director duo in keeping the audience entertained. The story is straightforward and devoid of complex layers. At just 102 minutes, the movie offers a breezy watch, although the pace occasionally falters. The central plot, focused on Baman’s relentless attempts to secure a loan from Karan, does become repetitive at times.
The humour shines in tracks like Baman tricking two passengers into giving him money after they mistake him for a cab driver, or Karan’s house help, More’s (Gaurav More) confusion about the nature of the duo’s relationship. Additionally, Karan’s wife Mohini (Vidya Malavade) and her squabbles with her mother-in-law add to the hilarity. Nostalgic moments, such as the friends reminiscing about school days through relatable banter, are bound to strike a chord with viewers.
The spotlight remains on Baman, splendidly portrayed by Sharib Hashmi, who delivers both expletive-filled banter and emotional dialogues with ease. Hashmi owns every scene, exuding charm and humor. Sanjay Bishnoi convincingly portrays a rich businessman torn between fending off Baman and being a caring friend. Shyamraj Patil performs well as the exasperated Akhil who’s overly keen on teaching his son life lessons. Vidya Malavade and Gaurav More also contribute commendable performances.
While the narrative treads familiar ground and includes cliched moments, especially towards its convenient and underwhelming ending, the stellar performances and laugh-out-loud scenarios ensure it remains an enjoyable one-time watch.
