Characters:
Aftab
Shivdasani:
Michael
Maria's
fiancee
who
is
shit
scared
of
her
father.
Instead
of
impressing
him,
he
ends
up
by
embarrassing
just
about
everybody,
including
himself,
by
accidentally
consuming
a
drug
that
makes
him
wildly
delusional,
stupidly
suicidal
and
contently
tearful!
Tulip
Joshi:
Maria
She's
defied
her
wealthy
and
autocratic
father
for
Michael's
sake.
Now
she
can
do
nothing
but
watch
haplessly
as
Michael
carries
on
from
one
disastrous
situation
to
another
in
his
drug
induced
state.
Suniel
Shetty:
Steve
Not
too
bright,
but
always
wanting
to

right,
he
is
the
good
son
who
stays
with
his
parents,
trying
to
bring
peace
between
warring
wife
and
mother
and
now
struggling
manfully
to
bring
some
semblance
of
dignity
to
a
funeral
that's
degenerated
into
a
farce.
Aarti
Chhabria:
Nancy
She
loves
her
good
hearted,
but
ineffectual
husband,
but
just
cannot
stand
his
perfectionist,
over
critical
mother-in-law.
She
thinks
her
father-in-law's
death
is
the
best
chance
she
has
of
getting
out
of
the
family
house
and
away
from
a
sharp
tongued
mother
-in
-law.
Ashish
Chowdhry:
Brian
He's
the
younger
son
who's
gone
away
and
gained
fame
and
fortune
as
a
novelist.
He
is
self-centered
and
indulgent
and
rarely
gives
a
thought
to
anybody
but
himself
till
he's
confronted
with
a
crisis
that
can
tear
the
family
and
his
father's
spotless
reputation
completely.
Sophie
Chowdhry:
Ayesha
This
wannabe
model
is
desperate
for
a
break
and
willing
to
go
to
any
lengths
to
get
it.
As
a
result,
she
finds
herself
trying
to
do
a
steamy
seduction
number
in
a
house
full
of
astounded
mourners.
Javed
Jaffrey:
Carlos
Henpecked
by
wife,
bullied
by
all,
he's
expected
to
do
all
the
hard
and
dirty
work.
He
does
it
too,
muttering
under
his
breath
and
watching
helplessly
when
the
credit
is
taken
by
somebody
else!
Kim
Sharma:
Jenny
Carlos'
suspicious
wife
who's
so
convinced
that
her
husband
is
cheating
on
her,
that
she's
taken
to
following
him
around
wherever
he
goes
and
eavesdropping
on
him
whenever
he
talks.
Chunky
Pandey:
Harry
Maria's
good
for
nothing
brother
is
as
jolly
as
a
junkie
can
be.
It's
thanks
to
him
that
hallucinogenic
drugs
get
into
a
bottle
marked
Relaxo
and
get
consumed
by
the
unlikeliest
of
people!
Prem
Chopra:
Uncle
Murphy
He
may
be
an
invalid,
bound
to
his
wheelchair
but
his
abuses
are
extremely
robust
as
are
the
painful
prods
from
his
cane.
Woe
betide
anybody
who
dare
cross
him
or
try
to
care
for
him.
The
consequences
can
be
dreadful
to
say
the
least.
Rajpal
Yadav:
Andrew
Last
but
not
the
least
he's
the
joker
in
the
pack,
the
cat
among
the
pigeons.
His
small
size
belies
his
larger
intentions
and
the
kinky
secrets
he
has
up
his
sleeve
are
enough
to
bring
the
lately
deceased
Douglas
Lazarus'
sons
to
their
knees.
Synopsis
So, what can happen at a funeral? Even, if it's the funeral of Daddy Cool Douglas Lazarus? It's in Goa, tears, sad speeches, melancholia... right? Wrong! When... The coffin makers deliver the wrong body.
Good Son Steven Lazarus (Suniel Shetty), an aspiring writer tries to give his father a decent funeral by delivering a eulogy…that includes a description of the rivers of Goa. Having flown in first class younger brother Brian (Ashish Chowdhry), suave, successful and much admired writer from Mumbai, not ready to share responsibility for his mother, saying "He barely has money to support himself and his dogs." A rather "comfortable'' estate agent Pinto (Vijay Patkar) tries to close a house deal for Nancy (Aarti Chabria) Steven's wife who is trying to get away from her mother-in-law Mrs. Lazarus (Suhasini Mulay) , who though just bereaved, lives up to her title admirably.
A prospective groom Michael (Aftab Shivdasani) to a cousin, Maria (Tulip Joshi), nervous about meeting father-in-law to be (Naseer Abdullah ) comes in completely spaced out because of a hallucinogenic drug given to him out of Maria's junkie brother Harry's (Chunky Pandey) bottle of "Relaxo."
A knife-wielding suspicious Jenny (Kim Sharma) finds her husband Carlos (Javed Jaffrey) pleading forgiveness from the red- hot model Ayesha (Sophie Chodhry). While the model, told to bestow her favours on a man in a black suit, in order to feature in an ad film, finds herself in a room full of potential employers.
A repulsive spit on hands and flick back hair, Roadside Romeo kind of aspiring boyfriend, Jim (Vrajesh Hirjee) thinks that even a funeral is an opportunity to impress Maria.
A doddering old Uncle Murphy (Prem Chopra) in a wheelchair believes in practicing "rapchick" to get the girls...
And then enters a "Blackmailer" Andrew (Rajpal Yadav) who has a scandalous secret about the deceased Douglas "Daddy Cool" Lazarus (Sharat Saxena).
So what does happen is complete melange of madness, chaos, and a laugh a minute! So is it a 'fun'eral? Or should we say the fun is real?
