It is not guarantee that films with ingredients like love, romance and fun will appeal the youths. Director Remo D'Souza has managed to pump in lots of fun into his latest film F.A.L.T.U but it has it's share of shortcomings.

F.A.L.T.U. is a comedy flick about a youth, who tries to do something new and weird to help out his troubled friends. Jackky couldn't get admission for higher studies, as he is terrible at studies. He comes across Pooja and Angad, who also failed to get admission. This circumstances makes him start Fakirchand And Lakirchand Trust University (F.A.L.T.U.).

The film tries to drive home the importance of alternative education. It showcases the students of the fake college becoming winners by doing what they love. But the director fails to bring in logic to the story.

The music of the film is soothing and executed well but the script of the films is weak. Jackky has tried to bring in charm but not very convincing. Riteish Deshmukh and Arshad Warsi too have failed to evoke much laughter though they are known in the genre. However, Pooja Gupta looks lovely while Angad Bedi and Chandan Roy Sanyal have done their job well.

The film has lots of flip sides but it has a message to take home. On the whole, F.A.L.T.U is a film for the youths – with lots of fun and energy. Go for it if you are game for illogical fun!
