Movie Review:

A rich country bumpkin vows to go abroad and marry a white lady and get a foreign citizenship when his ego is hurt by a village drunk during a silly altercation. He seeks the help of a pretty visa agent to accomplish his mission, but life has other plans for him.

Raja (Robin Sohi) is the son of a rich landowner. He has no ambition in life and whiles away his time in the company of other time-wasters in his village. While his father is perpetually in a violent mood over Raja’s permanent state of good-for-nothingness, his mom loves him to bits. In a strange scene, with his pride injured when a village drunk accuses him of never being able to go abroad, Raja vows he will and become an Abroadiya’ (someone who gets a foreign citizenship) and approaches a visa consultant, the beautiful Preety (Vaishnavi Patwatrdhan). In another bizarre plot point in the film, Raja fake-marries Preety and leaves for ‘abroad’ aka Germany. There, one misadventure follows another as Raja tries to hook up with white women, but in the process discovers his feelings for Preety.

Raja’s character is modelled after Govinda’s iconic Raja Babu, including clothes and habits, but is in no way as funny. The funny element in the film is largely about Punjabi stereotypes and it falls flat. The only redeeming quality of the film is the performance by Yograj Singh as Raja’s angry-yet-loving father, Succha Singh.

With an overkill of songs and a plot that has gaping holes when it comes to who loves whom and why, there is little in the film to appreciate. While at times, it does get you with its goofiness on some silly scenes, those moments are few and far between. A bad edit and shaky camera work give us a film that doesn’t fly too far.
