The plot is interesting and has a lot of potential for comedy. Prem (Aftaab Shivdasani), Meet (Vivek Oberoi) and Amar (Ritesh Deshmukh) are three very close buddies who have come to the end of their college days and are settling down in new 9 to 5 jobs. The next step for them is marriage. Their views on marriage is made clear in the first song, "Ek Kunwara Phir Gaya Maara", where Meet and Prem make fun of Amar´s impending marriage. Later, Meet and Prem also meet the same fate and have to put up with their annoying wives. Fed-up of the restrictions imposed on their freedom, Prem suggests that all three of them should have a bit of fun and have affairs with other women.
In comes Monica (Lara Dutta) who has a fling with Meet... And also the other two guys too. Apparently, she was lurking about somewhere listening to the guys´ plan to have affairs. Then she devised this elaborate set-up to snare all the three of them into one net. Monica must have worked very hard to find information regarding their names and where they all live! Obviously, she is a blackmailer and the sex-starved men have to somehow come up with the cash. Unfortunately, something else happens to get the three monkeys into further trouble and this brings in the police. Cue Sikander (Ajay Devgan- "I hate crime! And I hate committers!"), a persistent and firm officer who is going to get to the bottom of the case and punish the criminals once and for all. Much to the monkeys´ dismay.
OUT OF CONTROL, thestory combines the lifestyle of the U.S. with the culture of India and the outcome is just theek hai. Indeed, there was scope for so much more!. OUT OF CONTROL tells the story of Jaswinder from Patiala [Ritesh Deshmukh] who reaches the shores of America with dreams in his eyes and a career as his intent.
Ritesh Deshmukh is trying to make a living in America, by doing odd jobs and also driving a cab in his off time. His immigrant status is in danger as his work permit is likely to expire soon. His friend Satish Kaushik tries hard to find a sponsor for him but fails. Enter Sally, who instantly falls for Ritesh’s charms.
She is ready to solve his immigration status problem by marrying him. He reluctantly agrees after a song and dance about how Indians don’t perform in the ‘S’-department before marriage.
Meanwhile his father Amrish Puri calls him back to India on the pretext of a heart attack, and forces him to marry Hrishita. He tries to squirm out of it, but finally succumbs and ends up with two wives. He goes back to America and conveniently forgets about Hrishita. Infuriated, Amrish Puri reaches the US with Hrishita in tow, and what occurs next gets “Out of Control”.
Directors Ramanjit Juneja and Apurva Asrani make a decent debut. The execution of most sequences is stylised, the performances are pretty competent, the narrative does hold your interest, but a better climax would've undeniably taken the film to heights.
OOC has a music score ranging from poor to average, but what is most surprising is how Mr. Bhagnani could settle down with such an average musical score for a film that is important to him in all sense of terms? Also, we are hopeful that Anand Raj Anand will do a better job with tunes and music in his forthcoming movies, like he has previously done.
This is Ritesh Deshmukh's second film and in terms of performance, the youngster leaps ahead. There's consistency in his performance, besides he manages to stand on his own stead despite the fact that he is pitted against seasoned performers.
Brande Rodericks, she has also dubbed her Hindi dialogues in the film, which sound more comprehensible than the ones spoken by our Hindi actresses like Celina Jaitley.
On the whole, OUT OF CONTROL is a decent entertainer that will attract cinegoers in good numbers initially.
