O Teri is a perfect example of an exciting trailer and a terrible final product. Debut director Umesh Bist makes a travesty of the 1983 cult classic Jaane Bhi do Yaaro. Unlike that film O Teri does not have a single redeeming feature.
Two good-for-nothing TV journalists AIDS (Bilal Amrohi) and PP (Pulkit Samrat) have been fired by their boss Monsoon (Sarah Jane-Dias). In order to rise to instant fame they are looking for that ultimate scoop, which is hard to come by their way.
The film seeks inspiration from factual events that have occurred in the country. At the heart of O Teri is the misappropriation of funds that that took place in the 2010 Common Wealth games and the corrupt ways in which contracts were allotted by the organising committee.
O Teri's noble intentions end there. We don't think they were serious in any case. Calling you lead character AIDS is not funny. The film's writing, characterisation and editing is so slip shod that you are left wondering what the makers were thinking. Its two protagonists who are supposed to be journalists behave as if they would have been better playing street side Romeos or gym rats.
A dog is worshipped for its power to predict the future, a politician is discovered indulging in an homosexual escapade behind closed doors and there is even a bridge which collapses. The two journalists happen to be at the site when bridge comes down. The filmmakers had enough matter to turn it into a riveting screenplay. Alas, they focused on vulgar jokes, unnecessary songs and some juvenile slapstick moments. What you get at the end of it all is a shoddy product which is not worth watching even if someone paid for your ticket.
