Munnabhai M.B.B.S. started a fashion of sorts. Gangsters with a heart of gold acting as modern-day Robinhoods. Robbing the disreputable rich and helping the exploited poor.

Director Sachin Yardi borrows a section from Munnabhai M.B.B.S. and presents a tale that not only talks of Robinhoods, but also makes digs at Ekta Kapoor and her serials, also looks at the underworld-builder-cops nexus.

The tale of three losers attaining power overnight makes for interesting viewing. But the problem is, C Kkompany lacks steadiness.

The comedy is truly very funny at places, but there're times when you sit stationary, not reacting to the on-screen tricks. If the first hour is a cheerful ride, the second hour is similar to driving on a road full of potholes. The climax is also a letdown [in the mela], although the end sequence -- C Kkompany is now a movement -- was the right way to conclude the film.

All said, C Kkompany had the germs of being a cool entertainer, but it ends up being a one-time average watch.

C Kkompany is about three persons, all living in the 'C' Wing of a middle class housing society: Akshay [Tusshar] is a crime reporter, Mr. Joshi [Anupam Kher] is a retired accountant trying to deal with his unthankful son and Lambodar [Rajpal Yadav] is at loggerheads with his wife over his job. These three friends share their respective troubles with one another and find comfort in each other's company.

On one time, they play a risk-free trick to tackle their problems. One thing leads to another and before they realize, the event becomes big news. But things don't end there. They put their new founded fame to good utilize and this in turn triggers off a series of incidents, which push them to such heights that the three become the talk of the nation.

That Sachin Yardi has a talent for comedy was more than evident when he penned the thoroughly enjoyable Kyaa Kool Hai Hum. C Kkompany also boasts of humour-laden sequences that keep you in splits at several points.

But keeping the humour alive from start to end is not everyone's cup of tea. Yardi's humour works till the beginning of the second hour, but things inactive thereafter. Things get boring. There's not much movement in the story and the comic scenes also range from enjoyable to avoidable.

Music is quite okay, but the songs -- barring the Sanjay Dutt track at the outset -- show up without valid situations. The Tusshar-Celina track, although well shot, comes up from nowhere. Cinematography is OK.

C Kkompany gets its fame because of its three protagonists. Tusshar is only climbing the ladder with every film. He's excellent. Anupam Kher proves yet again that he's amongst the best in the business. Rajpla Yadav is proficient too.

Mithun Chakraborty is in command after a long time. The veteran is excellent. Vinay Apte and Dilip Prabhavalkar do complete justice to their respective roles. Raima Sen is lovely. Karan Johar, Mahesh Bhatt and Ekta Kapoor's appearances give the film that extra sensation.

On the whole, C Kkompany is funny in parts, not in entirety. An normal fare!
