99 is an original story inspired by real events - well, very liberally inspired - it is more fiction than fact. It is the story of two men in two cities, who are bound by a common feeling of always being stuck at '99'. They never seem to make it to a 'century' - in life. It is an unpredictable and hilarious ride spread over two cities with colorful characters, unbelievable circumstances, small-time crooks, big-time conspiracies, fateful car crashes, a briefcase full of money....

| Boxoffice MagazineMatthew NestelWhat makes 99 conquer its counterparts is the fairly strict attention to the time for which it was set (the '90s) and the subtle references. |

| User ReviewPeter JI seriously did not expect much but what it turned out to be,just blew my mind!! The storyline follows the lines of Lock,Stock,Snatch etc and it does THAT very well,indeed its just excellent. Intelligent story,hilarious comedy and great acting is what makes a movie like this. Sad that it couldn't do well at the BO cuz movies like these is what bollywood needs. |
| User ReviewZaid AGreat movie, even though it does not have a famous star cast. Good comedy, good story and a happy ending (which I always prefer). Good acting by Kunal Khemu (which I didn't expect), Boman Irani (he always impresses me) and Mahesh Manjrekar. |
| User ReviewArjuna Ri really enjoyed this highly underrated movie. brilliantly directed, tastefully funny, and a reasonably fresh story :) brilliant acting too. thankfully they didn't have any unnecessary song and dance sequences either. no one else seemed to have heard of it and the reviews online were poor. hmm can't trust the masses on this one :) go watch it. this is the only movie I have reviewed, so that should speak for itself! |
| User ReviewAnil Mdimple dimple dimple........ now dats a story with so many complication ........ i enjoyed throughout the movie best movie of 2009 so far. |
| User ReviewArjun A99 is a vey well directed and researched movie which hits the spot very frequently while watching.. It involves great performances by a talented cast. The way it raises so many different questions using a single plot is pretty amazing. Cyrus Broacha will remind you of Seth Rogen. The music is very well composed too. All in all, a very under-rated bollywood film which should have got more recognition. |
| User ReviewRahul MDon't knw hw I missd this one back in 2008!! Mast story, don actors !! |
| User ReviewNicket SA smart film that is superbly directed and thoroughly entertaining without any dull moments.Class performances by Boman Irani and Mahesh Manjrekar(who is at the top of his game) while Kunal Khemu and Cyrus Broacha are bearable. |
