Game Paisa Ladki (2018)

Money is not god, but it's no less than one" is what the central theme of this movie is. The dialogue is mouthed by Nazuk (Sezal Sharma), a poor girl who is sold to the goon Pathan (Zakir Hussain) by her husband. However, given that all the characters in the film are fighting for a sum of 10 crores in this age of multi-million dollar scams, it seems to be a weak god, especially when the notes are the red-colored thousand rupee notes of yore. Game Paisa Ladki has a very interesting, bare-bone structure in the story. It could have been a slick one. Over a night, a girl and her ex-lover want to trick the big boss man of his freshly looted booty. But the acting and the execution kill the story. The leading man Raj (Deepans Garge); a contract killer who resembles a dehydrated Jean Reno from Léon, is the brains behind this heist. His plan? Hide a few microphones in a mafioso's house enter in at crucial moments and ruffle things up a bit. He also makes out a lot with the actress who happens to be his college sweetheart. In fact, at a crucial moment in the film, he is caught by the goons right after he makes love to his beloved. Zakir Hussain as Pathan is more funny than scary, which is good. He and the late Ashraful Haque the limping henchman are the only two things to look forward to in this thriller which is true, at its heart, a comedy.
