Dtailed Analysis:
 
All Vinay Pathak starrer films failed miserably at box office and now here comes one more badly made film without any marketing.

The film kicks off with a search operation by Dev (Saurabh Shukla) and Nikki (Mugdha Godse). This brother-sister duo are in search of Nikki's 'non-ambitious but honest' husband Purushottam Tripathi (Vinay Pathak), who leaves the house after a tiff with his nagging (but loveable) wife Nikki. While on one hand, Nikki's relatives help to reconcile her relationship with Purushottam, on the other hand, the couple's common friend lays his bets on them getting divorced. Caught in a whirlpool of relatives, friends and emotional turmoil, Purushottam lands up in a gambling den, where he drinks heavily and wins not just the money but also the company of a 'working woman' prostitute Rubina (Raima Sen). Despite all her attempts to seduce him, the 'patni-vratha' Purushottam refuses to give in to her advances. Seeing a 'truthful human' in her, he starts staying with her, but without any intimacy between them. On a professional front too, his life is in turmoil as his book 'Ek Thehri Si Zindagi' fails to find any publisher, which further adds to his frustration. One day, when Purushottam is totally out of control emotionally, he again lands up at the same gambling den. Lady Luck favors him to the core and he makes a killing, so much so that he even defeats the owner of the gambling den 'in his own game'. He, then, hands over all the winnings to Rubina asking her to fund her brother's education.

The next day, a series of incidents happen in quick succession that puts everyone including Purushottam in a tizzy. While on one hand, Purushottam gets kidnapped in broad daylight, on the other hand, someone renames his book from 'Ek Thehri Si Zindagi' to 'Ek Tharki Si Zindagi', which lands up being a Bestseller' in no time of its publishing. Who are the people responsible for Purushottam's kidnapping and what are their motives, who is responsible for the renaming of the book, do Purushottam and his wife ever make peace with each other or do they land up divorcing each other is what forms the rest of the story.

Performance wise not a single performer stands out as every actor including senior ones ham and ham throughout. Mughda Godse is pathetic, Raima Sen looks old, Saurabh Shukla has only one thing funny an artificial mustache and Vinay Pathek repeats himself in a really bad wig.

Film has cliche premise and screenplay lacks pace. Film has poor dialogues. Film has irritating background score. Art department is so so and editing is poor.

Director Anil Chaudhary fails in bringing out some kind of comedy and basic etiquette of direction as he has written real poor screenplay. Though climax is bad and lack of events make it a tiring watch for masses.

Film released today and should release across 200 screens. Film had no chances at box office as its a film with very niche appeal and average reviews will kill its chances further. Film will depend on exceptional word of mouth to survive as it has no great buzz or marketing awareness.
