Nagesh Kukunoor disappoints desperately with his new movie Bombay to Bagkok, says Anita Iyer. 
The plot of the movie revolves around Shankar (Shreyas Talpade), a cook who steals money from a local don and in a way to escape the goons joins a team of doctors. He accompanies these doctors heading towards Bangkok for relief work. In the chaos, he loses the money purse and the movie is about his adventure in finding it.
In the meantime, in Bangkok his life changes when he bumps into Jasmine (Lena Christianson), who works in a Thai massage parlour. The problem is she speaks Thai and he speaks Hindi so they are not able to converse with each other, all the talks are through broken English. To add a twist to the love story, the goon reaches Bangkok in search of Shankar. How Shankar finds his lost money purse escaping from the goons and his love story with Lena is the crux of the movie.
Shreyas Talpade is yet again successful in proving his excellent acting skills and Lena, the Thai lead is also promising. The role of Chota Don played by Vijay Maurya where he raps instead of conversing is outstanding and keeps the audiences glued to the screen. The role of Punjabi Rachinder, Shreya’s closest buddy is well- written.
The movie disappoints Nagesh Kukunoor’s fans desperately. It is hard to believe that Bombay to Bangkok is a Nagesh Kukunoor’s movie who delivered wonderful movies like Iqbal, Dor, Rockford, and Hyderabad Blues in the past.
The slug – Same, same but different is incorrect because there is nothing different in this movie but only predictable comedy, there is no originality in the jokes of the movie. At the end, it can be said that Bombay to Bangkok has only few impressive moments and worth only a one time watch!
