99
99 is an original story inspired by real events. It is as much "What could have been" as it is "What really happened." In other words, it is historical fiction - fiction being the keyword. It spans a few genres; it is slick, fast-paced, realistic and, importantly, very funny.
In this "smart comedy" set in 1999, all the characters are found by a common feeling of being stuck at 99 in life - just one short of a 'century' - that elusive thing called "making it'' in life!
99 is an unpredictable and hilarious ride spread over two cities with colorful characters, unbelievable circumstances, small-time crooks, big-time conspiracies, fateful car crashes, loads of coffee, a briefcase full of money, a budding romance...
.... And a historical controversy brewing in the background!
Character Briefs
Sachin (Kunal Khemu)
Sachin is full of big ideas. The problem is implementation. And his well-rounded buddy, Zaramud is not helping either. Actually, he's making it worse.
Pooja (Soha Ali Khan)
One first look, she is your typical
Rahul (Boman Irani)
Rahul is an ordinary guy with a pretty ordinary job. He has one extraordinary quality though: he always has the luck of the draw. He thinks he has figured out how luck works! But lately, he's not sure anymore.
Zaramud (Cyrus Broacha)
Zaramud is a bit of contradiction. Despite the impression he gives, he knows a lot of shit. But since he isn't most tactful or loaded with commonsense, he lands himself and Sachin into trouble. Far too many times.
JC (Vinod Khanna)
JC likes to live big. And likes his stakes big too. To top that, he has to have an edge over everyone and everything he deals with. By hook or by crook.
