From the kitty of filmmaker N.Chandra who has given us memorable films like ‘Tezaab’ and ‘Ankush’ comes a forgettable comedy caper ‘Style’ featuring new comers like Sharman Joshi, Sahil Khan, Riya Sen and Shilpi Mudgal.
Two young boys, Bantu (Sharman Joshi) and Chantu (Sahil) are mischievous and funny collegians, popular among other students because of their wit, presence of mind and ability to solve any problem. Whenever they help a rich student, they are showered with expensive gifts. Thus, in spite of hailing from the middle class, Bantu and Chantu cultivate habits of rich and high class. But when a rich friend plays a practical joke on them and leaves them to foot a hefty hotel bill, they realise the value of being rich.
Bantu comes out with a brilliant idea to get rich quick. The idea is to marry rich girls so that they can leave their middle class homes and live in mansions. They decide to make friends with Sheena (Riya Sen) and Rani (Shilpi Mudgal). Both the girls hate Bantu and Chantu for their past experiences with them during college elections which the boys had won by cheating. The twist in the tale comes with the emergence of a mysterious woman Tara Deshpande. The boys go a different route and end up solving a murder mystery.
The film is nowhere closer to the directorial works of ‘Ankush’ and ‘Pratighaat’ of N.Chandra. The only upbeat thing about this film is the youthfulness and teenage storyline as the base. But there are many things that you come across as implausible. Also there is anything of substance in the character of the lead protagonist who lives on their wealthy friends.
Performance wise there is nothing exceptional to write about as the actors end up in exaggerating acting. Comedy is childish and the romance is slapdash. Music by Sanjeev-Darshan is also nothing worth mentioning.
