What do you expect when you have actors like Arshad Warsi and Boman Irani on board ? You may expect 'Jolly LLB'. But this time you have got, 'The Legend of Michael Mishra'. The entire plot moves around a criminal who wants to impress a girl whom he dreamt of. Arshad warshi essays role of a sinister sinner Michael Mishra. Boman Irani is seen playing the narrator and Warsi's right hand Full Pant with his real life son Kayoze Irani plays half pant. Aditi Rao Hydari is doing female lead and she was seen as Warsi's love interest. Boring ? Confusing ? This is what happens while watching the movie on big screen too. We have no clue what is going on.
Arshad Warso as Michael Mishra has tried to emulate some one and has failed miserably. His body language is annoying. Aditi Rao Hydari is cute and her role varsha is the only saving grace. She has portrayed the perfect Bihari woman. Her English skills are poor and she dreams of being a Movie star. she is effing perfect in that role. Boman Irani also fails big time and for the first time, his acting is amateurish. No wonder as we need to pull the blame on the story. The movie also tell more tales under the name of Love. Michael falls for a teenage girl and just hears a hello before getting sentenced for his crimes. The movie defies all logic and that is an irony when we expect 'Jolly LLB'.
The movie has to be a typical masala entertainer and the movie drags for most part. Editing is pathetic. There is nothing linear and the screenplay is slow and it gives dizzy ride. Under the name of twist, everything tests audience patience. Warsi also disappoints with his Bihari accent dialogues. There is lots of nonsensical acts. he backdrop of the film is romance but you can sense no chemistry between the lead. Warsi and Irani would have made a better pair. Cinematography is lousy and the cinematographer also never took any pains to make every frame special. Screenplay is a big letdown. . It is unbelievable that it is the same director who has directed movies like 'Anwar' and 'Matrabhoomi'.
This movie is the perfect book on how a movie should not be made. Right from casting to technical department, everything is a failure in this movie. Songs are another speed breaker and they create more hindrance. Manish Jha has tried something desperate and failed miserably. The movie is not even worth watching one time.
