All the three characters are very innocent and needy but they have no experience of robbery, so they plan to involve a professional thief in the mission and here starts the storm of humor and entertainment when the thief i.e. Charan enters into the frame.

There are some extra ordinary situations in the film where there is thrill and the humor. After a long wait the audience will get such MASALA on screen making this film is a nice blend of art and commercial cinema.

The audience will also get to see some extra ordinary performances by Gracy, Vijay Raaz and Raghuveer Yadav. Besides, this will be the first time that Gracy is playing a gray shaded character.

A Truly Hilarious Black Comedy..

Dekh Bhai Dekh is a story about four individuals, who has their own styles of leading life, personal problems, ambitions and desires. Dekh Bhai Dekh is a twisted tale of greed, cunning and destiny assembled around a rather crude heist. It is a story of small people and their whopping jump to the dark side.

Here's another black and brooding comedy, after the crackling Sankat City. But there's a difference. Dekh Bhai Dekh begins on an interesting premise and even catapults strange new characters before a formula-fed audience.

There are some extra ordinary situations in the film where there is thrill and the humor. After a long wait the audience will get such MASALA on screen making this film is a nice blend of art and commercial cinema. While the climax is totally shocking nothing is revealed and the curiosity level as well as the suspense is left intact right till the end.

The constant banter of four incompetent thieves, their attempts at double-crossing each other and the final stroke of devious providence has turned out very well. Though the pacing of the film is slow the dialogues keep you in splits and forever engaged. The ending is truly unexpected.

Vijay Raaz though often over the top with some risqué dialogues, gets his comic timing right and is the most fun to watch. However, one gets the feeling that an actor of Raghuveer Yadav’s caliber has been left underutilised. Siddharth Koirala carries just a single expression on his face and needs a crash course in dialogue delivery. Gracy has finally got a meaty role after a long and she grabs the opportunity with both her hands. Virendra Saxena and Asrani lend able support.
