Home Delivery - fails to deliver

Rating:- * 1/2

Sunny [Viveik Oberoi] is a 28-year-old writer who has carved a niche for himself as a popular agony uncle, Gyan Guru, writing for the 'Times of Hindustan'. Sunny has also managed to bag a prestigious screenplay writing project for director Karan Johar.

While Sunny is cynical about life, Michael [Boman Irani] is optimistic about it. 51-year-old Michael is a simple man, almost childlike and has recently landed a job as a pizza delivery boy, nay, man at Mummy's Pizza. Michael has a tendency to lose every job in two days flat. This time, however, he vows to keep this one, no matter what.

On the eve of Diwali, Sunny has loads of stuff to do and very little time to execute it. He has to meet his screenplay deadline and he's got to avoid his editor's [Juhi Chawla] telephone calls, who is livid that he's bunking work.

But, more importantly, he needs to get his fiancée Jenny [Ayesha Takia] out of the way because he has a date with Maya [Mahima Chaudhary], a South Indian superstar he is love with. What adds to the confusion, Sunny forgets that there is no food in his bachelor pad. So, he orders a pizza, that Michael is given the task of delivering.

Basically, the problem with HOME DELIVERY is a sloppy screenplay, devoid of interesting sequences. And who likes to taste a month-old pizza?

IF the writing is poor, Sujoy's direction is, to put it mildly, is also dismal. And music is also far from a plus point.

As for performances, despite a few loose ends, Boman Irani’s performance is the only highlight of the film.
