A clean thriller in a non-glamorous manner. Well itched characters, who are not loud but ordinary. Except for one Filmy stunt, everything else was simply a smooth flow. Very easy with me, gripped in my own mental predictions of how Ajay/Akshay  was gonna pull off with his scam. I was damn sure they would get away anyways, but "how" was becoming "the thing for me" and I realized it the moment Jimmy Shergil gave odd looks and next second we have Divya Dutta with her punchline...asli kaam toh hum kar rahen hain.

It was a good film and should be watched in company.

Now the specifics:

The Make up and Costumes - Wonderful. Excellent.  I will have to go back and check the credits.

The script and dialogues - not hurting my ears. On some occassions, the 4 scampsters kept such a low profile that I didn't want to pay my attention. Infact I even got up from my seat when my legs were hurting. (Usually, when I watch movies that are interesting, I forget myself, my body pains. I have a history with that). I was with all my attention as soon as Manoj Bajpai was coming on screen. Coz in contrast, he had a mighty task to catch these con men.

The Con people : Very ordinary looking and yet master minds. By God!! they looked Gov Servants with their ordinary looks. 

The wife who was asking her husband to wash clothes and all : She was playing mother to Saanchi on Ruk Jaana Nahin Show on Star Plus. That show was from Paresh Rawal production house.

The CBI Boss to Manoj Bajpai : He too was part of Ruk Jaan Nahin. He was playing professor of the University.

The ending : The way Manoj Bajpai ends up laughing, I was pained. I was hurt and felt for him. His honesty ka to poora falooda bana ke rakh diya.  I was praying in my heart, shock na lag jaaye, naukri na chale jaaye, with that much big theft.  And he asks for Chulloo bhar paani.

What I did not like

Kaajal Aggarwal as the female interest of Ajay. She did not even know how to speak Hindi. She was so accented, with bad hair style. Everything about her was faky ordinary girl.....she was the biggest imposter of the next door girl role in the movie.

Anupam Kher being made a joke with so many children. Woh joke bhi nahin lag raha tha mujhe. and if in reality his character was such a man, then what a loathsome man. Aadmi mein ya bacche paida karne ki machine. And his shameless wife.

It was a good story telling of Con without any glamour.

The stunt scene of Manoj catching the thief/culprit in New Delhi's Connaught Place took me into nostalgia. I was like main kitni baar wahaan pe gayee. :)))
