Movie Review: Badmash Company

Shahid wants to grow rich quickly, and in pre-liberalization India, there is a brilliant opportunity. Import thousands of pairs of foreign shoes, make it seem worthless, let customs put it up for auction, buy it back cheap and then sell it in the hungry market. But how do you make them look worthless? Simple. Get all the left shoes in one consignment, the right in another. Without each other, they are worthless. With each other, priceless.

With three of his cronies, this is one plan that's guaranteed to make them rich quickly.

When Manmohan Singh liberalizes the economy and cuts down import duties, their business is kaput. No problem, there are other equally brilliant ways to continue the game...

Shahid looks a little out of sorts after his other recent performances, Anushka looks hot but a little uncomfortable in her dialogues, the kissing scenes sizzle, the sound track flops, but overall, the movie is good entertainment value for the time spent.
