This is a film I might regret showcasing here. I do it because director Abhishek Sharma (he also directed “Tere bin Laden”) shows promise, and because this appears to be a spinoff of the 1982 Rati Agnihotri starrer “Shaukeen”. The original Shaukeen was a Basu Chatterjee film and was a story of 3 “tharki” old men. The lasvicious old men exist in this modern avatar too, and with the story-line the way it is, “The Shaukeens” could easily go south. I hope it doesn’t, and I hope the director treads a fine line between the funny and the risqué.
Here’s hoping for the best.
