Naughty @ 40 - Movie Review

Naughty @ 40 (2011) is a Hindi comedy film directed by Jagmohan Mundhra, while produced by Anuj Sharma under Gangani Multimedia Corporations and also distributed by Srishti Creations.

The film stars Govinda and Yuvika Chaudhary in the lead roles, with Anupam Kher, Gurpreet Ghuggi, Shakti Kapoor, Sanjai Mishra and Smita Jaykar in supporting roles. The film is a remake of the 2005 Judd Apatow buddy film, The 40-Year Old Virgin.
Happy (Govinda) is a 40 year old man living in London with his parents (Anupam Kher, Smita Jaykar). He's still a virgin and sleepwalks in the nights. Happy's father seeks the help of his employee (Shakti Kapoor) and his nephews to help Happy lose his virginity, but all efforts turn futile.

The family leaves for Manali, where Happy gets married to Gauri (Yuvika Chaudhary), a girl much younger to him. However, Gauri is up to childish pranks all the while, which results in Happy getting into a physical relationship with a London based model who is in the town for photo shoot. When Gauri discovers the truth, she gets a rude shock. That brings about a change in her attitude.
The movie's release was delayed for more than 2 years when the producers Anuj Sharma and Sandeep Kapoor had a fall out. Kapoor approached the Delhi High Court in 2009 seeking recovery of a loan of Indian Rupee symbol.svg 1.32 crore which he had allegedly advanced to Sharma. Justice V.K. Jain allowed Sharma to go ahead with the film's release after his lawyer deposited a demand draft of Indian Rupee symbol.svg 1 crore with the court registry. However, the court declined Kapoor's plea to release the amount to him stating "The question of release of money to the petitioner (Kapoor) would be decided after the entire amount is deposited with the court". He also asked Sharma to pay the remaining amount by April 6, 2011.
