What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
Sandy, Teddy, and Bunty pretend to be disabled to enter Batuk Patel's home and pursue marriage with his daughters.
The three boyfriends conceal their abilities while suspecting one another of being secretly normal.
The film combines romantic pairings, a jailed Mumbai don, a fortune-teller, slapstick gags, and exaggerated comic performance.
Aakhri Pasta's prediction that Batuk will die if the boyfriends speak, see, or enter his house motivates the central deception.
