Cast: Pulkit Samrat, Bilal Amrohi, Sarah-Jane Dias, Anupam Kher, Vijay Raaz, Mandira BediDirection: Umesh BistGenre: ComedyDuration: 1 hour 47 minutes
Review: PP (Samrat) and his buddy Anand Ishwarwam Devdutt Subramanium, aka (groan) AIDS (Amrohi) are two DYTs (dumb young things) lost in the cut-throat world of TV reporting. With their pushy boss Monsoon (Dias) unimpressed by their lame efforts, the guys are desperate to find a big political scam to expose. Their wish is fulfilled when corrupt politician Khwaja (Kher) hooks up with noodle-strapped, fuchsia-lipped media manager Sherry (Bedi) to handle corrupt allocations of contracts in Delhi's Asian Olympic Games. As a CBI investigator Tripathi gets murdered and Khwaja's political rival Kilol (Raaz) wants him exposed, the two reporters find themselves caught in serious cross-fire.
O Teri's story picks up recent corruption scandals, mashing these with classic cinematic takes on scams. Familiar themes are deployed, including a laash that keeps vanishing and popping up, CDs of mantras and phone tapping that get confused, collapsing bridges, spiraling behind-the-scenes deals, etc. Amidst this, PP and AIDS, all biceps, cleavage and no brains, struggle to stay alive - and get famous. Given these elements, O Teri could have been bitingly hilarious, but it isn't. The overburdened story unravels under a palpable nervousness to please all. Therefore, too frequent songs, too many gaalis from Kilol,
