Story: Rajpal Yadav may be an auto rickshaw driver, but he has a dream. He wants to send his son to the upmarket school where he ferries kids every morning. His wife, Divya Dutta, too eggs him on to fulfil his million dollar dream. But where can he get those elusive millions that would ensure a better future for his son? Will the neighbourhood dada, Johnny Lever, allow his aspirations to come true?
Movie Review: With a star cast boasting of almost all the comic actors of current Bollywood, you would expect Masti Express to unfold like a big screen comedy circus. Unfortunately, the laughs are too few and far between, as Rajpal Yadav choses to don a serious avatar and Johnny Lever plays it way over the top as the loud goon who is desperate to rule the neighbourhood with his might-is-right mantra. Even Divya Dutta, a fine actor otherwise, is reduced to a caricature as a whining, wailing wife and mother who threatens to throw herself under a train whenever things go amiss.
Funny only in bits and pieces, Masti Express doesn't live up to its name.
