An older employee Subramaniam (Nana Patekar) is asked to retire from his day job as a law clerk by his law office boss (Mohnish Behl). A young army cadet Bikramjeet (Rehan Khan) gets a leave of absence from active duty to experience civil life. An ambitious account executive Amit (Suneil Shetty) hankers after closing a new deal for his company's rapacious head honcho. Popular college girl Shalini (Anjana Sukhani) is the love interest of Bikramjeet. All of these disparate lives converge into the scene at Lucky Cafe run by Dilshad aunty (Dimple Kapadia). Her cafe is a prime hangout spot for college students, school kids, and regulars alike who virtually bond like family. Dilshad's strong, loquacious, feisty temperament gives the cafe its unique flavor and draw. The plot thickens when Amit's company picks Lucky Cafe as their new target to expand their cafe franchise profits. Amit urges Dilshad to sell her cafe to his company but Dilshad resists. Amit's wife Anita (Vidya Malvade) a close friend of Dilshad's is a treat to watch but her role is limited to a couple of sad expressions. Dimple Kapadia and Nana Patekar pretty much carry the film's weight and both render their roles with flourish. Interestingly, Dimple has added considerable weight to her figure looking quite changed from the sexy vamp she played only five years ago in Being Cyrus. Toward the latter part, the plot becomes typical with the usual masala and accompanying melodrama thrown in. However, some scenes with Nana and Dimple shine through despite the wavering plot.
Rating: A 3 out of 5 stars.
