It’s a strange thing but when it comes to a relationship between a man and a woman, a man finds it impossible to believe that he can actually spend the rest of his life with just one female companion as wife or lover .

The comedy here is not slapstick but is realistic and Monjoy has endeavoured to bring out the best abilities of the actors with emotions . One gets the feeling with these actors that we are reliving the Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro era as there were theatre actors like Naseeruddin Shah, Om Puri, Satish Shah, Satish Kaushik,Pankaj Kapoor in that film and this film too has theatre actors. Vikram Kochhar, Nilesh Lalwani, Herry Tangiri, Divvya Chouksey, Jayka Yagnik et al who have also excelled in theatre.
