Ahead
The film lifts almost the entire lobby scene from The
Matrix bullet by bullet minus Trinity's part with Akshay
Kumar playing Keanu Reeves.
Awara Paagal Deewana is an action comedy, which revolves
around a dentist who accidentally gets trapped into underworld
and goes in for a roller coaster ride. A mafia don (Om Puri)
dies and leaves behind such a will which starts an unending
war between Guru Gulab Khatri (Akshay Kumar), don's son-in
law and Vikrant (Rahul Dev), don's only son. Guru Gulab
is married to Vikrant's stepsister Preeti (Preeti Jhangiani).
The don's legal will, which also includes diamonds worth
hundred crores kept in a foreign bank, has to be equally
divided between these three and to claim the diamonds from
the bank all three all three have to be present at the bank
and personally sign the papers. In event of death of any
of the inheritors' death, a death certificate has to be
produced to the bank. The will factor vertically splits
the gang in two. Vikrant and Guru Gulab become rivals. Vikrant
wrongly implicates Guru Gulab in a very serious crime, which
forces him to flee out of the India. Guru Gulab leaves India
for America and comes to stay in the neighbourhood of Dr.
Anmol Acharya (Aftab Shivdasani). Meanwhile in India, Vikrant
announces grand prize money to those who tell him the whereabouts
of Guru. Anmol's greedy wife Mona (Amrita Arora) forces
him to meet Vikrant in India and inform him about Guru Gulab
and collect the prize money. Anmol comes to India with his
father-in- law (Paresh Rawal) and the moment they step into
India they are picked up by Choto Chhatri (Johny Lever),
who takes them to a local goon, Eaida Anna (Sunil Shetty).
Anna strikes a deal with Vikrant that he'll kill Guru and
acquire the prize money offered by him. Vikrant gives him
the contract. So Anmol returns, not with prize money but
with Anna and Chota Chhatri, and others have this wrong
notion that Anna is just interested in the petty contract
money. His interest lies in the diamonds. So this race to
reach the diamonds becomes deadlier and all three powers
- Vikrant, Guru and Anna clash. And the rule of this race
is to kill the other contestants to win the race.
