Bachke Rehna, Obama!

A bunch of quirky characters, a hilarious plot and recession as a backdrop... Phas Gaye Re Obama is a must watch!
Bhaisaab
After stealing the thunder in All The Best, Sanjay Mishra hits top form as Bhaisaab – a gangster who ranks at the bottom of the gang world pyramid. Bhaisaab runs a recession hit gang who is barely making ends meet. They strike gold when they kidnap Om Shastri or so they thought.Sanjay reveals, “I have always worked in commercial movies and never portrayed such a serious character. That’s why when the director
narrated this script to me, I thought he had gone mad.”
Munni Madam
Neha Dhupia plays the much feared man-hating gangster who pompously calls herself ‘Female Gabbar Singh’. Munni runs a gang of women-only goons which ranks amongst the top ones in the hierarchy of the local mafia. She is equally feared and respected in this male-dominated business. Neha says, “I’m a female dacoit who runs an all-women gang. I think the character is pretty cool. I felt it was much of a challenge and thus I didn’t have second thoughts before I took it up. The whole film is fresh, raw, rustic and humorous, all of which I have never attempted before.”
Dhananjay Singh
The Bhope Bhau of Kaminey is in familiar ground as Dhananjay Singh, the Minister of Animal Welfare and, moreover, the kingpin of the well-oiled machinery that is the local kidnapping industry. He is the epitome of the gangster who graduated to become a politician and aims to become the Chief Minister one day! Amole says, “It’s easy to play a villain, but what I’ve tried to do is build the agony in this man. It would not be right to just make Dhananjay’s character look like a caricature. It has no resemblance to that of Bhope in Kaminey.”
Anni
A much appreciated debut in Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye! and Manu Rishi returns to the big screen as Anni – a newly recruited member of Bhaisaab’s gang. Anni’s dreams are all coloured in stars and stripes and he looks upto Obama as a new-age super hero. His ultimate aim in life is to find his way to America – the land of dreams!
Om Shastri
Rajat Kapoor plays a millionaire –NRI on the brink of bankruptcy. He is in urgent need of $100,000 within a span of 30 days or lose his home. Seeing no other way out, he comes down to India to sell off his ancestral property. On getting kidnapped by the local gangsters, he has to ensure not only his own survival but also ensure he keeps making money all along the way and save his family. Rajat says, “I choose to do a movie because of the director and a credible script.”
