Debu
(Rahul Bose) is 32 year old who works for an advertising agency.
But
he has a serious problem. He is still a virgin.
He
sees light at the end of this tunnel when he encounters Baba Hindustani.
He
reassures him by promising to cure his sexual problem.
Keen
to overcome this problem, Debu meets Baba who is staying in a hotel.
Upon
his arrival, he meets Nitin Kapoor, a film-maker (Saurabh Shukla).
Unaware
of what lies ahead, Debu agrees being filmed by Kapoor. So the shooting
begins as Debu carries out a physical workout.
But
in actual fact, Kapoor edits the same visuals in such a way to give
the impression of Debu performing a sexual act.
He
releases his film which turns out to be a box office hit and Debu
becomes a sex symbol.
Debu
is of course oblivious to all these developments.
Soon
his life takes a turn when Sonali Verma (Perizaad Zorabian), a journalist,
enters Debu's life.
She
helps him out of a sticky situation and gives him shelter in her
own home when Debu鈥檚 landlord throws him out.
With
time, he becomes close to Sonali and both fall in love.
Debu
awakens to the fact that there is more to a relationship than just
the physical side.
Mumbai
Matinee is different in that it has a unique storyline which
other Bollywood directors have never attempted before.
The
film has some humorous scenes which will have you smiling. Sequence
involving the Baba is captivating.
But
the film slows down in the second half as too much attention is
paid to the love angle between Debu and the journalist.
Rahul
Bose is completely at ease in his role whilst Perizaad Zorabian
support well.
On
the whole, Mumbai Matinee is a film which will appeal to
the younger generation of the Asian community due to its sexual
undertone.
The
use of the English language to a larger extent will further restrict
its box office takings.
