99


Saturday was like any other day... BORING!!! Morning I had nothing to do, afternoon left for my church practice and I was back in the evening by 7pm and didn't know what to do. So I began browsing thru my movie collection that I had and stumbled upon this movie '99'. I have heard quite a lot about the movie but wasn't so keen on watching the movie... but it was a good decision to watch it. It is by far one of the most wittiest comedy movie ever. Very well directed and leaves your bones tickling every sec. The best part is, it isn't even a non-sense movie like many of the other comedy movies that have been released in the last few years. It's got a beautiful script and a perfectly timed comedy. Interestingly you will find every second worth of laughing.

99 is an original story inspired by real events. It is as much “what could have been” as it is “what really happened.” In other words, it is historical fiction – fiction being the keyword. It is a genre-bender – spanning a few genres – it is slick, fast-paced, realistic and importantly, very funny. It is the story of two different men in two different cities, who are bound by a common feeling of always being stuck at ‘99’. They never seem to make it to a ‘century’- figuratively speaking. It is a journey of two men who want to break away from the rut and ‘strike it big’. What follows is an unpredictable and hilarious ride through two cities with extremely likeable and very grounded characters, unbelievable circumstances, real twists of fate, small-time crooks, big-time conspiracies, fateful car crashes, a briefcase full of money, two cricket matches with hundreds of crores riding on them, ups of friendship, downs of love and a climax that will keep everybody on the edge of their seats.

This is a clip of the song 'Delhi Destiny' which I just happen to love a lot, so just thought about embedding here.
