Ok, lets’ get this straight. Gen-Y is confused, can’t speak their mind and think that in order to make it big, one has to snap old ties. And, of course, in order to give shape to your personal dreams, one has to be at Chowpatty in Mumbai!

And clichés of all clichés, all young girls out there, here’s a word of advice. In case you are tomboyish and hang around with guys in dungarees and dirty tees, the only way you can win a guy is donning whole nine yards of red, pink, or yellow chiffon. Cause it is only then that a woman’s charm and coyness comes through. Yawn!

At a time when we are getting used to some realistic cinema, Popcorn Khao Mast Ho Jao had to tell us that each time your old Maruti model gets towed away, you disown it for fear of being a social miscast seen with a staid looking desi car.

For God’s sake, get real. Coming from the 20-something director Kabir Sadanand, this was supposed to be a "fun film" with loads of pop and corn to it!

Alas, it falls flat on both counts. Devoid of any fun, it comes across as a haphazard collage of thoughts of a young trio.

Debutant Akshay Kapoor (Rahul), Tanisha (Tania) and Goldie (Yash Tonk of Kahin Kisi Roz fame) are friends in Rebello High, a Riverdale type college in small town Sanganer, where young girls like Rashmi Nigam (Sonia) strut around in skimpy clothes and ‘see-through’ sequined tops. Talk about girls going places!

Suddenly our man Rahul, musically inclined, has this sudden flash of a bright spark by which he decides to chart out a musical career in the city of dreams, where else, Mumbai?

And he tells himself and his pals that in order to be successful, he shall not ‘keep in touch’ with them for the next 5 years. If you are wondering about the logic behind this self-imposed exile, don’t. Cause, by the end of the 18 reels, it’s obviously not observed!

Doing away with all forms of logic, the light-eyed hero is in the process of becoming a music director for musical magnate Deepak Tijori (Vikramaditya Kapoor).
