Plot Outline:
Aroush (Akshay Kumar), Al (Fardeen Khan) and Tanmay (Riteish Deshmukh) are three bachelors having the time of their lives in Sydney, Australia. Young and hassle free, the three men enjoy life by sleeping with as many women as possible. They party, flirt, have their share of fun and move on. Their perfect life is suddenly shattered when a baby ends up abandoned on their doorstep.

Completely oblivious to the art of caring for a baby, they share the responsibility together. Eventually the baby grows on the three and they transform into loving, caring fathers. However, Esha (Vidya Balan) then steps into the picture and takes legal custody of the baby.

It turns out that Aroush and Esha met at a marriage some time back in India. There, to impress Esha, Aroush poses as a conservative and traditional Indian. They end up making love and promise to meet each other in Sydney, but Esha finds Aroush in bed with another woman, and is heartbroken. Later both Esha and Aroush return to Sydney but Aroush can not find Esha and is back to his womanising ways. Esha's father (played by Boman Irani) takes Esha's and Aroush's newborn child, tells Esha she died at birth, and places her at the doorstep of the three guys.

Overall Impressions:
What could possibly happen next? Well, Aroush finds in his heart that he does actually love her, so the quest to win over the girl & the baby follows. He sets up a contract with her saying if she can find a father better suited than himself within 7 days he'll leave her alone. Sounding a bit far-fetched? Well, yes, it is, but they do pull it off. WIth the aid of his two comrades, he attempts to stall her finding a suitor by sending in his own, but things turn a little pear shaped when the most perfect suitor turns up at a wedding. (and yes, this is where SRK fits in for his 3 minute cameo).

A terrible concept, a terrible plot and a blatant rip of Three Men and a Baby which nobody would have though is worthy of a remake, yet it stands it ground. With ample desi modification to fit the Indian audiences, high doses of cheese & humour & thappars (slaps), it does manage to keep you engaged, even if you feel it wouldn't (as I did).

No cinema must, but worth a watch if you're after a feel-good non-sensical flick.
