I didnt have great expectations from Short Kut since I knew first hand and StarBoxOffice was the first to break the story about how it is a rip-off of the Hollywood film Bowfinger. Worse, when you dread watching a film you know will be lame, its intolerable cruelty. This Short Kut will only take you downhill with its canned laughs. Why did Anil Kapoor produce such a film? What did he see in it? Did he think they were making a Bowfinger equal…? Set in Bollywood, SHORT KUT - THE CON IS ON tells the story of two strugglers, one who makes it big as a superstar [Raju - Arshad Warsi] after stealing a script and the other whose struggle as a director [Shekhar - Akshaye Khanna] continues after his script gets stolen.There’s a twist in the tale when reigning actress Mansi’s [Amrita Rao] romantic involvement with Shekhar gets culminated into marriage. To add to the chaos, destiny again brings Raju and Shekhar face to face, when Shekhar is set to direct his first film with Raju. What follows now is a clash of egos.

As mentioned at the very outset, SHORT KUT could’ve turned out to be an insider’s view on the film industry.The two aspirants, their struggles, the hardships that they face to get their first break… SHORT KUT could’ve explored all that and more beautifully.In fact, a few moments do try to capture that at the very start.But the moment the romantic track sets in, things go for a toss.The plot, suddenly, makes you feel you’re watching a diluted version of ABHIMAAN [Amitabh, Jaya].Then, suddenly, another unexciting track surfaces — of the superstar throwing his weight on the sets.The film starts losing grip.The post-interval portions are simply unbearable. You expect things to brighten up, but the writing is so pathetic and the climax so childish and absurd that you’re shocked.Looks like the writers must’ve gone on a vacation and entrusted the responsibility of writing the climax to some amateur types who has zilch knowledge of screen writing. It’s the worst climax undoubtedly!

Director Neeraj Vora tries too hard to make you laugh with his regular brand of sad jokes which fall flat.Composers Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy try too hard to come up with peppy tunes which only sound lousy.Chunky Pandey tries too hard to play an acting teacher but needs lessons himself. Amrita Rao tries too hard to look hot but lacks oomph in every possible angle.Arshad Warsi doesn’t have to try too hard to look like a non-actor though.Akshaye Khanna believes screaming and shouting accounts to performing.Siddharth Randheria tries too hard to pass off as a cheap substitute for Paresh Rawal but is unbearably annoying.Ali Asgar tries too hard to play Amrita Rao’s brother but appears more like her stalker.

On the whole, SHORT KUT - THE CON IS ON is a poor show all the way. A major disappointment.
