What happens

Badmaash Company (transl. Illicit Company) is a 2010 Indian Hindi-language crime comedy drama film written and directed by Parmeet Sethi in his directorial debut, and produced by Aditya Chopra under the Yash Raj Films banner. The film stars Shahid Kapoor, Anushka Sharma, Meiyang Chang, and Vir Das, and follows four young friends from middle-class backgrounds in Mumbai who form an illicit business venture that quickly escalates into a high-stakes international con operation. Principal photography took place in locations across India, Thailand, and the United States. Badmaash Company was released on 7 May 2010 and received mixed reviews from critics who praised the cast performances—particularly Kapoor's—and the film's youthful tone, but criticised the screenplay and pacing. Despite this, the film proved to be a commercial success, grossing ₹530 million (US$11.8 million) worldwide. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
