The main reason to watch this movie is its directors, Raj & DK. Known for their unique storytelling, they’ve consistently delivered engaging and clever content. Some of their best works include The Family Man, Farzi, and Go Goa Gone (another underrated cult classic that was way ahead of its time). They were also the writers of Stree.
99 was their first Bollywood movie and a testament to their talent.
The movie is centered around two hustlers, Sachin (Kunal Khemu) and Zaramud (Cyrus Broacha), who work for a loan shark. They dream of breaking out of their mundane lives but end up getting tangled in a series of hilarious and chaotic events when a big job goes wrong. Their misadventures lead them to interact with quirky characters like Boman Irani's character, who is neck-deep in financial troubles.
Set in the late 90s, the movie perfectly captures the charm of the pre-smartphone era, with cricket betting and pager culture forming an intriguing backdrop. It’s not just about the plot but also the witty dialogues, the unforgettable characters, and the moments that keep you engaged from start to finish.
Directed by the brilliant Raj & DK, a team known for creating movies and shows that blend humor, drama, and clever storytelling.
Stellar performances from a well-rounded cast: Kunal Khemu, Cyrus Broacha, Boman Irani, and Soha Ali Khan.
A perfect mix of humor, chaos, and nostalgia, with twists that keep you hooked.
