Although Priyadarshan directed the earlier film, his fellow colleague, Niraj Vora, directs this one. Like the first one, this one too has been a runaway success at the UK box office.

The story picks up where the first one left off, with Raju (Akshay Kumar), Baburao (Paresh Rawal) and Shyam (Suneil Shetty), now living comfortably, having made loads of money.

The common factor that holds them together is greed.

In an effort to get rich quickly, Raju, invests in an agency, run by Bipasha Basu, which happens to be a bogus one.

He borrows heavily and even mortgages their home, resulting in the trio loosing everything.

The local mafia, whose money Raju has unknowingly borrowed, is breathing down their necks. Rajpal Yadav, and his sister Rimi Sen, too are caught in the middle of this deal.

With the mafia hot on their heels, the trio hatch more plans, including one to outwit and rob another low level criminal (Johny Lever).

It so happens that Bipasha is actually a mere pawn in the hands of the mafia, who are trying to retrieve some diamonds through her.

What follows is a series of totally confusing, yet funny scenes in which everyone chases and beats up everyone else.

The climax, which is set in a circus, is irritating at times but on the whole entertaining.

The story, screenplay and dialogues by Niraj Vora are average.

Of the cast, Akshay Kumar, Paresh Rawal and Rajpal are first rate, delivering excellent performances, and displaying perfect comic timing. The rest of the cast is average. The music by Himesh Reshammiya is brilliant.

Overall, this film is an average fare. Go for it, if slapstick is what you like.
