This is the age of comedies in Bollywood! Every filmmaker is trying to cash in on the popularity of this genre resulting in tough competition among them. So every successful comedy film sets a precedent for the next. Priyadarshan's 'Malaamal Weekly' was the last successful one in this genre. The one that followed couldn't match up to it. Ditto for 'Pyare Mohan'.

Another flaw in the film is that it starts off by being a light-hearted comedy and gets very emotional post interval. The wit and humor is restricted to the first half. This takes away its charm. The second half is also full of chase sequences which aren't great fun. The second half also appears very amateurish in most parts. The screenplay is the culprit. There are no memorable scenes or sequences here. The Indra Kumar stamp is definitely missing.

Pyare (Fardeen Khan) is blind while Mohan (Vivek Oberoi) is deaf. They are friends and work as a team. Their impairment is because of an accident at work. The two were stuntmen in a film company.

Despite their handicap, they are independent. They run an Archies Gift shop now. The only thing missing in their life is romance. Both are looking for love.

As luck would have it, their life takes a turn for the better one day when they accidentally run into two sisters, Preeti (Esha Deol) and Priya (Amrita Rao). The two friends fall for them but unfortunately their bubble is burst when the girls tell them that they only look at them as good friends. The reason for this is their physical handicap.
