• The titles rotate rapidly around a revolving globe, with credits like “Part Dialogue” and “Written by Raj Kundra” set against 80s style Hiranandani Powai skyline
• Arshad Warsi plays a “genius”
• Jackky Bhagnani plays a “Super genius”
• The opening scene has Dalip Tahil speaking in Gujarati, and kicks of a 131 minute marathon replete with fake Gujju accents, “snake” and “hole” level word plays, and an item song with Russian dancers in dandiya attire.
• VFX for stormy seas and bomb blasts are reminiscent of 16-bit arcade games. B-grade shark attack films in Bhojpuri are less tacky
• Comedy comes to be represented by lyrics like “g pe lat…” and names like Ittefaq and What the fuck
• Toilet humor reaches new lows. A fart smell is attributed to a dead rat in the man’s stomach.

What the fafda man.
