It's a known scenario how corrupt government officers are these days and common people are the one who suffer the most to get services. They need to bribe the officers at every level; and still their things aren't done> Especially in the rural areas where people are uneducated or are under poverty line, the government officials are exploiting the people to fill their pockets. The scenario has been created of a village where Boman Irani, a poor driver, applies for a government scheme for the grant to dig a well in his field. But in the process he learns he has to bribe every officer to get his government grant just to see his well has been completed only in the government report not in the actual field. However, he gets his right and how he gets has been presented in a jovial mood full of wittiness and surprises.
Boman Irani makes a superb performance of a common man tormented by government officials. His lowered head in front of every officer explains the torture of the officers by depriving the common people of their rights. Overall the film presents a satire on government system and reveals how corrupt the officers have become today. Late Jaspal Bhatti used to present such satires through his series, "Flop Show." Only a problem of the film is the length it goes for which could have been trimmed a bit and songs and few situations don't have a nice link to the main plot. However, the film remains commendable for raising a social issue and resolving it in a witty manner which can serve as an eye opener to the concerned.
Rating: 2 stars out of 4
