Shaukeen,
the
original
cult
classic
which
was
released
in
1982
was
written
and
directed
by
Basu
Chatterjee.
Director
Abhishek
Sharma
has
taken
the
same
subject
and
changed
it
to
modern
day
adaptation
and
The
Shaukeens
was
born.
Music:
Yo
Yo
Honey
Singh,
Arko
Mukherjee,
Hard
Kaur
&
Vikram
Negi
Story:
The
Shaukeens
has
three
lecherous
old
men
(played
by
Anupam
Kher,
Annu
Kapoor
and
Piyush
Mishra)
who
decides
to
take
a
break
from
their
routine
boring
life
to
enjoy.
The
trio
lands
up
in
Mauritius
from
Delhi
and
gets
into
hilarious
situations
with
hot
chick
(read
dumb)
Ahana
(Lisa
Haydon).
Ahana
is
a
die
hard
fan
of
Akshay
Kumar.
The
lecherous
trio
tries
to
impress
and
get
lucky
with
her.
Akshay
Kumar
is
playing
the
role
originally
played
by
Mithun
Chakraborty,
and
he
plays
as
himself
for
the
first
time.
However,
the
actor
says
that
his
character
as
an
alcoholic
superstar
is
not
a
true
reflection
of
his
life.
What
happens
after
they
meet
Ahana
forms
the
crux
of
the
story.
To
know
the
full
story
wait
and
watch
it
on
big
screen.
Lisa
Haydon
has
come
back
again
after
her
stellar
performance
in
Queen.
She
is
the
main
lead
in
The
Shaukeens.
If
new
age
men
who
wants
to
be
so
Yo
and
talking
about
S**
is
so
cool,
then
The
Shaukeens
is
for
you.
It
is
so
blatantly
portrayed
by
the
director.
The
men
are
so
lecherous
that
they
end
joining
a
gym
just
to
look
at
the
curvaceous
instructor.
The
three
lecherous
characters
played
by
Anupam
Kher,
Annu
Kapoor
and
Piyush
Mishra
have
done
just
as
asked.
Anupam
Kher
(Lalli)
a
sadly
married
man,
Annu
Kapoor
(KD)
and
Piyush
Mishra
(Pinky)
a
widower
are
so
desperate
to
have
fun
(read
to
have
s**)
that
they
end
up
in
Mauritius.
Lisa
owns
the
villa
that
they
stay.
The
three
men
and
their
utter
non
sensical
way
to
impress
Lisa
by
groping
and
cheap
ways
of
touching
Lisa
is
not
so
enjoyable.
Don't
know
what
director
Abhishek
had
thought
when
he
gave
this
film.
The
movie
is
not
sleazy
but
can
be
enjoyed
with
family
is
just
not
believable.
Akshay
Kumar
who
plays
as
himself
goes
on
to
say
to
those
men
that,
“Men
are
like
dogs,
the
sight
of
a
woman
makes
their
tongues
wag
and
eyes
bulge"
is
not
acceptable.
They
have
portrayed
women
only
as
a
sex
symbol.
If
a
grown
up
woman
like
Lisa
who
claims
herself
as
Gypsy
can't
understand
that,
three
and
not
just
one,
men
are
groping
and
passing
lewd
comments
about
her,
then
where
does
one
have
to
leave
the
brain
while
watching
this
film
is
a
big
question.
The
breath-taking
locales
of
Mauritius
is
the
only
respite.
Cameos
by
Abhishek
Bachchan,
Kareena
Kapoor
Khan,
Dimple
Kapadia,
Suniel
Shetty
are
something
to
watch
out
for.
Chaudhary
Amalendu
work
on
the
camera
is
just
awesome.
Although,
the
songs
refuse
to
stick
in
the
mind,
music
is
not
too
bad.
Yo
Yo
Honey
Singh
has
given
a
peppy
number
yet
another
time.

The
Shaukeens
is
fun
to
watch
only
if
you
leave
behind
the
logic
and
turn
a
blind
eye
to
many
bad
things
that's
been
portrayed
about
women!
Akshay
Kumar
Akshay
Kumar
is
an
alchoholic
superstar
in
the
film.
However,
in
real
life
he
is
a
tee-totaller.
Lisa
Haydon
Lisa
Haydon
plays
the
sexy
damsel
who
the
three
lecherous
men
fall
for.
The
Shaukeens
Although,
The
Shaukeens
is
a
remake
of
the
1982
original
Sahukeen,
the
script
has
been
written
and
adapted
to
modern
day.
Abhishek
Sharma
"Tigmanshu
and
I
just
wanted
to
give
Akshay
a
quirk.
He
plays
himself
in
the
film
but
there
is
also
a
fictional
side.
We
featured
the
song
Alcoholic
on
him
because
everyone
knows
he's
a
teetotaller.
The
contrast
is
funny," says
director
Abhishek
Sharma.
Director
Talks
About
Lisa
Haydon
"I
recommended
her
name
to
the
producer
and
everyone
including
Akshay
agreed
that
she's
brilliant.
Shraddha
Kapoor
being
considered
is
a
rumour.
And
Nargis
Fakhri
could
not
do
it
because
she
was
doing
a
Hollywood
film," Abhishek
says.
Cameo
Roles
"Because
I
liked
his
performance
in
Happy
New
Year.
On
a
serious
note,
Akshay
Kumar
is
playing
himself,
so
people
who
are
related
to
him
do
come
in
somewhere
in
his
world.
That's
why
Abhishek,
Kareena
Kapoor
and
Sunil
Shetty
have
also
been
featured,"
Abhishek
adds.
The
Shaukeens
Trio
The
trio
have
given
their
best
and
it
is
a
laugh
riot.
Go
watch
it
if
you
want
to
get
entertained.
