Rani’s character is remarkably alike Amanda Bynes’. Veera is a lot like Viola when it comes to sports. Both the movies carry forward two simultaneous plots.

The other is of confusing yet funny romances that spring up amongst teammates. DBH!’s storyline’s originality is seriously questionable and its writers’ credits went to Jaya and Aparajita.
