Chashme Baddoor (2013 film)

Chashme Baddoor is a 2013 Indian Hindi-language slapstick comedy film directed by David Dhawan and written by Sajid and Farhad Samji.

Unable to handle the dog as it bites him, Omi runs back home, where he tells everyone a completely different story.

However, one day, Siddharth accidentally bumps into Seema, unaware of the fact that she is the girl Jai and Omi failed to impress.

Both of them, jealous of the fact that they are now dating, tell Sid that she isn't a good girl and ask him to break up with her.

Sid pretends to beat up both his friends to impress Seema, which later turns out to be Omi and Jai's imagination.

They assume that Joseph would stop asking them to pay the café bills and Josephine would let them stay at her apartment for free if they helped unite them.

Later, one day, Omi and Jai find a poison bottle in Sid's drawer and assume that he has committed suicide even though he hasn't.

She comes up with a rather filmy solution and suggests Jai and Omi to play kidnappers and supposedly kidnap Seema.

In order to solve the problem, Sid unites the brothers by telling them, that every military officer was once a civilian.
