This is a Bollywood movie, but somewhat different from many. First, its running time is "only" about 2 hours and 15 minutes. Second, it is almost purely a comedy, with the premise being a man who has an excellent female voice, and becomes an ace at manning phone-sex lines posing as a female.

Lots of hijinks ensue from the premise and I was quite entertained.
