Comedy movies are back in favor. Most of the recent comedy movies have done quite well on the box office. Examples include, Singh is Kingg, All the Best and recently released De Dana Dan. Rata Gayi Baat Gayi is of same genre. Movie gives us a peek into the modern day marriage. Movie has an ensemble cast of talented actors and coming from Pritish Nandy Communications, movie holds high promises.

The story of the movie revolves around 3 couples. It tracks their lives, fun part and also a twisted short term memory loss. Movie is a modern day take on lives of married couples in urban locations. Movie promises to be a fun riot. It begins with protagonist of the movie waking up one fine morning with a bad hangover and a memory lapse. He is quite convinced that in the last night party he had met a beautiful lady and there was some connection between them but afterwards he remembers nothing else.

Protagonist is married and he seeks to find out what had happened at that night. Whether he went too far or things remained under control he tries to seek help of another married couple but they are having their own issues. In terms of story, we are not expecting to find a story never told before but yes, movie seems to be hilarious with its story line. It also takes a dig at marital infidelity combined with amnesia. Movie will be releasing on December 11, 2009.

Directed by ace comedian Kunal Vijaykar, Fruit And Nut boasted of a talented star cast but unfortunately it leaves a lot to be desired. Released this Friday, movie stars Cyrus Broacha, Boman Irani, Dia Mirza and Mahesh Manjrekar.  The biggest drawback of this movie is it is supposed to be an out and out comedy and yet it makes you laugh only intermittently. No doubt, star cast is talented but they definitely needed a strong story line to act and perform but that’s the tragedy of this comedy. Comedy is mostly senseless and all the absurd gimmicks shown in the movie are much better avoided that accepted. This movie was supposed to be first full-fledged comedy movie of Dia Mirza who is trying to stage a comeback but unfortunately for her, it has failed miserably.

The movie revolves around Jolly Maker (Cyrus) who though is a simpleton and hard working is looking for success, money, fame and love. He loves to create disastrous scenarios and is quite a goofy character. He works for a corrupt builder. Then one day, his sexy and beautiful colleague Monica gets mysteriously kidnapped and thereafter it becomes the responsibility of Jolly to find Monica amidst all the goof-ups. That’s what the rest of the movie is all about.

Debutant director Kunal Vijaykar tries really hard but then he needs the support of a strong script and screenplay. Some of the jokes and situations are funny but they tend to get repetitive and lose shine. Most of the comic situations are not funny enough. Cyrus tries hard to save the movie but to no avail. All in all, star cast has performed reasonably well but it’s the script that acts as a letdown.
