Barah Aana is a comedy of real life, set in today's Mumbai. The story revolves around three unlikely friends: a driver (Shukla), a watchman (Yadav), and a waiter (Aman). The driver is an older man, stoic but dependable. The watchman, in his 30s, is a pushover at work but otherwise mischievous. The waiter is a young, swaggering chap, brimming with ambition. Living together, their differing attitudes spark playful banter. At some point, misfortune befalls the watchman and, due to a series of chance events, he stumbles into a crime. Striking upon a seemingly low-risk way to make good money, and discovering a new sense of self-confidence, he tries to entice the others to join him in a series of such crimes. Cat and mouse games ensue between the three as personalities change, but events soon spiral out of control, leading them in a direction none of them had wanted to take... Featuring a talented ensemble cast, Barah Aana is based on an original script. The running time is 97 minutes.

| User ReviewAdarsh NNot a bad story... easily plausible situation. And great performances by the trio. Vijay Raaz shines. Naseer Sahb's screen presence is enough but god you feel relieved when he actually talks! |
| User ReviewZahid CThe movie reflects the saying: "There is an end to man's need, but not his greed." But going by the title, it seems to be inspired from the saying, "Khaya piya kuch nahi, glass toda barah aana." (which literally translates to: "Ate, drank absolutely nothing, and broke the glass worth twelve cents." and means something like: "Wasted money on nothing at all.") It's a situational comedy with average performances by the lead characters. However, the main fault lies in the screenplay. It takes almost first half to reach to the main storyline. And from thereon too, it carries on about so-so. A few laughs scattered here and there, but that's about it. The short duration of the movie (as compared to most Bollywood movies) works in its favor, and saves it from being disastrously torturous. |
