The story itself is not outstanding, but is sketched out so well, that it makes for an interesting film. Habib Faisal, director of “Do dooni char” writes the screenplay and dialogues, because of which this film glides along smoothly, carrying with it the sounds of sights of Delhi. The realistic sounding dialogues have subtle humor and feature a lot of the vernacular Hindi and Punjabi prevalent in Delhi-speak.

This film is shot in Delhi, and is full of its color, life and gaiety. BBB features some very energetic song-and-dance numbers, like "Ainvayi Ainvayi", situated where else but at The Great Indian Wedding, and some light love ballads like "Aadha Ishq". In short BBB is great good fun. One of the best Hindi films of the year, I highly recommend this one.
