Story - Dhoondte Reh Jaaoge

The concept is simple, brilliant, failsafe, unique and guaranteed to work,' says Anand Pawar (Kunal Kemmu) an honest Charted Accountant but looser in life, to Raj Chopra (Paresh Rawal), a veteran film Producer with no money. All they need to do is raise 100 Crore from various financers and produce the film in 5 Crore. They would then make a film that will never work, a film that will be hooted out on the first day itself and run away with 95 Crore. But oblivious to this common plan, Raj has a hidden one. Things go haywire, so Raj makes Anand the fall guy and the latter ends up in jail. Anand's squeaky clean image goes for a toss and he decides to take revenge on Raj. As tables turn against Anand, he suddenly loses his job and his girlfriend Neha, who refuses to marry a loser.

Anand goes back to Raj, and asks him to join forces again. He insists that their master plan could still work out, only if they think much bigger. They begin working on their plan. They want to become instant millionaires in the shortest time possible.

An infallible plan. To make a FLOPBUSTER they rope in Super star Aryan Kapoor ( Sonu Sood) as a the lead in the film, they also rope in Parvez Asharraf (Johny Lever) as a writer, who is Pro Pakistan and many other weird and wacky actors, director, music directors for the film. They give Aryan a token amount of 3 crores. Aryan is offered to act opposite his girlfriend Riya, but surprisingly, the actor refuses.

That's when Raj suggests Anand to cast his girlfriend Neha. Anand Pawar becomes so greedy that he decides to cheat on his own girl friend Neha Chattopadhayay (Soha Ali Khan) who is a small time theatre actress. Anand cast her as a main heroine in the film so her acting ka keeda will be over in one film. Since they plan to make a flop film Raj tells Anand that Neha will not only comeback in his life but also become dependant on him since her acting career will end after their film's disastrous fate. Anand agrees. Neha is thrilled to know that Anand is producing a film and that she is being caste opposite a big star like Aryan Kapoor.

After some hiccups, Anand and Raj mange to make and release the film; though deliberately opposite another big films that could over shadow its release. Their devious plan seems to be right on track. But as the adage goes... 'Man proposes; God disposes', the film turns out to be a huge hit. Now the financers and distributors are after Anand and Raj for their chunk of shares from the huge profit. Anand & Raj's problems multiply by the second.

This not only becomes one of the most masterful of escapade (fun with a lot of escapes) but also instigates a laugh -a - thon.

Dhoondte Reh Jaoge Lives Upto It’s Title

The film kick starts with our short but earnest Anand Powar (Kunal Khemu), the chartered accountant who always chooses to follow the long path, while the world around him opts for short-cut ways to success. His house is so small that if he tries to stretch himself, the vessels start crumbling down. His Bengali girlfriend, Neha (Soha Ali Khan) is unhappy about this and his mama, Dilip Joshi, a theatre director is frustrated with him.

On the other hand, there is Aryan (Sonu Sood), an overconfident superstar who intends to do films only with big directors. While these are two characters, the most interesting one is Raj Chopra (Paresh Rawal), a failed director who is drowning in a sea of debts. Raj is however smart when it comes to fooling others and the only remaining way of escaping his debts is to do a movie with the star, Aryan. Aryan ignores his offer thinking that nobody will contribute to making another flop at the box-office. At this point, Raj meets Anand and they together plan a scheme that would fetch them a profit of Rs 100 crores. All they need to do is raise that kind of money from various financiers and producers who are unaware of each other's contribution. They would then make a film that will never work at the box office.

They start their own company called ‘Raj Anand’ and money starts flowing in. Aryan agrees to star in the movie along with Neha (Soha) as the lead. Unfortunately for them, the movie they make turns out to be a big hit and the producers start hounding Anand and Raj for their share of the profit.

Dhoondte Reh Jaoge (DRJ) is a decent comedy film with amazing performance by each one of the cast. Paresh Rawal and Johnny Lever steal the show with their comic acts, delivering a good dose of laughter. The movie is entertaining all throughout the first half but the second half gets confusing and irritating. The sequence where the actors enact the scenes from Sholay, DDLJ, and Lagaan are a big turn off.  Also, while some of the dialogues are hilarious (mostly delivered by Paresh and Johnny), the vast majority fail to register a smile.

Director Umesh Shukla has done a decent job and has plotted everything very carefully. The major twists and turns in the movie are something to make a note of. Unfortunately, the overall movie lacks spark.

All in all, Dhoondte Reh Jaoge is for the people who are wanderers and just want to spend their three hours in an air conditioned theatre or for people who watch a movie just for the heck of it. Yes, if one is a die hard fan of Paresh Rawal or Johnny Lever, they can certainly go for it.
