KATHMANDU: Aliens and Unidentified Flying Objects (UFO) have always been a matter of fascination for humans. Even a slight hint of existence of aliens or UFO’s can attract scientists and media from the world.

Pagalpur — a place between Palanpur and Ratnanagar, which is not even on the map of India — becomes a hub for scientists and media. The reason being the sign of alien’s visit on earth from outer space known as Crop Circle. Like the name of the village, the people are crazy and even their locality is outlandish. They lack electricity, water and more.

Agastya (Akshya Kumar) originally from Pagalpur is a scientist in the US who is doing research on the existence of aliens and civilisation beyond the Earth. And he has a month’s time to prove this before his team. During this time, his brother (Shreyas Talpade) calls from India to return home because his father (Darshan Jariwala), the headman of the village, is seriously ill. Agastya together with his girlfriend Diva (Sonakshi Sinha) goes to Pagalpur. There, Agastya finds out that the dam constructed on the river (which is the only water source of the village) has prevented Pagalpur from getting any water. He seeks help from two neighbouring villages but nobody helps him saying that the village does not belong to their state. As he doesn’t get help from anywhere, Agastya finally turns to Crop Circle to solve the problem.

The director has picked actors aptly and they fit their characters perfectly. They are successful in tickling your funny bone though the plot is not so strong where you can predict what happens next rather easily.

Asrani is in the role of teacher and the dialect he uses is very funny. Jariwala as cock-eyed old man is notable character. The language Talpade uses is funny and will definitely be a hit with children. Meanwhile, Kumar as usual has performed his role as a lifesaver confidently. Sinha and Lamba are just eye-candies and don’t have much to do.

The songs flow according to the tone of the movie where the background music is also pleasant. Meanwhile the overall look of Pagalpur seems like a place from fairytales. And while watching the movie you will get a feel of some colourful festival going on with lots of activities happening there.

Watch the movie to get some laughs and glimspes of funny aliens.
