As the title suggests, it has a big fat Indian wedding as its backdrop peppered with some oddball characters. Baankey (Rajpal) is keen to have a PYT for a wife, but his stars won’t allow him to do so. In a bid to get him hitched, by hook or by crook, his folks find a proxy groom (Satyajeet Dubey) to wed the girl (Tia Bajpai) Baankey fancies. This double trouble and the confusion it causes, sadly, does not result in tongue-in-cheek humour as the plot meanders instead of concentrating on the funny lines.

Sanjay, Vijay and Rakesh do what they have done countless times in earlier films. In fact, Sanjay and Vijay can now sleepwalk through such roles. Tia’s job is to look pretty and that’s all that she does while Satyajeet tries to be earnest.

On the whole, the experience of watching Baankey Ki Crazy Baraat is like attending a lavish wedding feast, but ending up with indigestion.
