Sorry folks this review comes after a long time , well i was told by 99 people almost 99 times each to avoid watching this movie. But hey this one is not as bad as i assumed. 99 is one of those Bollywood flicks which has an original flavour as well as the HATKE appeal. Its a story based out of the year 1999 and hence gets the said title. Kunal Khemu and Cyrus play SIM card hackers who earn their living by duping people and making a quick buck when one fine day their racket is busted and they land up in Mahesh Mangrekar's lap. Mahesh plays a Vasooli Don who hires the services of these two to join as recovery agents. The story moves to the backdrop of Delhi where the duo (Kunal & Cyrus) go to catch hold of Bomman Irani who is one of the listed defaulters on Mangrekar’s list.
Bomman plays a Forex agent who is addicted to all sorts of gambling and is caught up in deep shit debts that keep crawling into his personal space. Khemu and Cyru while on their recovery mission meet a typical delhi gal Soha who works in the same hotel where these 2 are put up. She has lost a lot of weight and looks stunning in this movie dressed in formals in most of the frames. The story moves at a not so fast pace and revolves around Bomman , Kunal and Cyrus . Vinod Khanna plays a cameo who resembles Vijay Malya (UB Head) is Bommans gambling competitor tips him about the match on which he wants him to bet. Bomman takes the help of Cyrus Khemu and win the bet eventually.
Well this is where the climax comes in and discloses that it is the same match where the famous Hansie Conje Match fixing scandal issue popped up…..Yawwwwwn
Over all I believe that this is surely a very different movie with a superb performance by Bomman …….and only Bomman. Khemu and Cryus have given a fair try and I am sure that Cyrus was not given a any sort of a dialog script coz he is as witty as ever.
My Rating for this movie is ***
