The idea works, not the execution Utt Pataang is a comedy thriller involving five characters all at cross roads and in search of a big dream. Hero Vinay Pathak, his private detective friend Saurabh Shukla, a heart broken Mona Singh, a French obsessed gangster Vinay Pathak in a double role and his companion Mahie Gill.
It is about how all is fair when it comes to money and nobody has a morality issue getting trapped in a dangerous game for that one big opportunity.
What works about the film: is primarily the idea even though we have seen such stories in the past.What also works is next door face Vinay Pathak entertain you in a double role.
What does not work: is that one is getting a little tired of the innumerable small budget films devoid of stars and glamour.Granted that the film has sparkling moments but to expect to be engaged watching just Vinay Pathak for two hours is a bit too much.
