For starters, not all movies promoted by Salman can be a hit!

And for someone who’s last movie was a box office dud by his own standards, it was totally unfair in the first place to expect fireworks from ‘O Teri’ !

O Teri focuses on the misadventures of two room mates and TV reporters – AIDS (Bilal Amrohi) and PP (Pulkit Samrat) – who going by their bulging biceps seem to spend more time in the gymnasium and at a local dhaba than out in the field or in the newsroom. It’s no surprise that they are lousy at their job. Get fired or unearth a scam or scandal is the ultimatum from their boss Monsoon (Sarah-Jane Dias). Soon the two become reluctant/accidental investigative journalists who are stuck with the dead body of a whistleblower,CBI officer. If this is Bist’s way to pay tribute to the cult comedy Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron, which follows two small photographers caught up in a big scandal, then he fails at it miserably. A footbridge collapses, a homosexual politician is found in a compromising position, a dog is worshipped for his forecasting skills but the events serve no purpose to the story. The zany soon turns annoying.

The loudness of the film seems intentional, especially considering the oversaturated palette, one that makes a Ferrari look way, way too red and Mandira Bedi’s lips look like she were auditioning for an Aqua video. Every single character in the film constantly speaks with some manner of silly accent; it was as if the actors were told to ham it up during the shoot and then told, again, during the dub, that the face-stretching was all well and good, but that they now needed to bring out their best keshto-voices.

Actors like Vijay Raaz, Mano Pahva and Razzak Khan could have simply avoided being a part of this movie, which would even put Suresh Kalmadi to shame given the inspiration drawn from the Commonwealth Scam.

All in all, this movie is worth a miss! Even Salman’s divine intervention won’t be able to save this one.

Bilal Amrohi, newcomer and grandson of legendary film maker Kamaal Amrohi, couldn’t have asked for a better debut. His film, O Teri, starring Pulkit Samrat as another lead, is hitting the theatres today and the young actor is all thrilled with the prospects. O Teri, directed by Atul Agnihotri as a gesture to welcome the new talent into the industry, promises to be an interesting rendition on the Bollywood marquee, cut away from the routine circus of commercial entertainers.

Salman Khan, brother in law of Agnihotri, has made time to be a part of the film’s promotions, and the film cast is rapt with this sign from the Khan. “Salman Bhai is in Delhi right now. He has asked Pulkit and I to join him there, so he can promote the film with us. Bhai would be accompanying us on various city tours” said Bilal.

Talking about the camaraderie and brotherhood shared in between the Amrohis and the Khans, Bilal stated that Salman is more like a family. Salman’s father Salim was close to Bilal’s granddad Kamal Amrohi and his dad, Tajdar Amrohi.

Bilal took a six month acting course in Los Angeles, staying away from family and friends to purely concentrate on honing his skills –“I deliberately chose a city where I had no family and friends, to learn acting. I was on my own in LA for six months. That helped me to grow up” he shared.

O Teri is a comedy entertainer with a story revolving around two journalists who come across a bid scam and the events that follow. The film stars Sarah-Jane Dias, Sara Loren and Mandira Bedi in prominent roles.
