Trivia:

It is not the first time that actor Jagdeep has played the role of a "Bhopali". He has done it "Sholay" (1975) and in "Soorma Bhopali"

Goofs:

Audio/visual unsynchronized: During the scene where Salman and Aamir meet in the lodge, after Aamir gets released from jail, Aamir asks Salman how he is. Salman replies "Tip Top" but the visual looks like he doesn't say anything at all.

Quotes:

Bankeylal Bhopali: You again? Fooling my innocent son... taking his advantage... Son, lets go back home. He can't make you a superstar...
Johnny: I will also make you a superstar in my film, UNCLE!
Bankeylal Bhopali: UNCLE? I know you from a very long time... you are a very old sinner! As it is you fooled my father... pretending to be a little child out here, eh?

Movie Connections:

References "Ramayan" (1986)

This comedy has a script !!!

Its a spoof, its an intelligent comedy, it has some a pathetic action and choreography (and mind it, it is intentional), good hummable songs, good performances by the entire cast, brilliant by Amir, Salman and Paresh and over all an script which is so rare in Indian cinema that too in comedy (watch David Dhawan, Harmesh Malhotra etc). Story is of two wastrels whose only aim is to get rich and famous by any which ways. They come across one such way when they find out that a rich NRI is coming India to get married. Rest of the story is about oneupmanship and how these wastrels try to out wit each other. Entire cast is perfectly cast right from Deven Verma till Viju Khote. Songs are rightly placed and are funny. Surprise package is Salman who acts with perfect timing and this particular act gave him his style of comedy.

All an all a fum film which you should not ignore if you like and watch Indian Cinema.
