Gaurav Chopraa, Rohit Khurana and Rajesh Kumar, the well
known faces of television serials, eyeing to enter the
bollywood film industry, fail to create an impact with
this film.
Four friends, working in the same office frequently meet
in the evenings for a drink. One evening it is felt that
it’s a dull life and they yearn for some thrill in their
lives.
Preet (Rajesh Kumar) is the only married man in the
group, most matured among them, yet doesn't mind
cheating on his wife. Bobby (Rahil Tandon) is just
engaged to a girl in Bareili. Though unhappy with the
proposal, he has reluctantly accepted it, but he is and
feels - single! Jimmy (Gaurav Chopra) is single and
knows how to live the good life and their fourth friend
is the fun loving single guy Sunder (Rohit Khurana). The
quartet makes a false excuse to their boss to have a
holiday abroad.
How do they zero down to the same woman? It’s the
typical bollywood (or Hollywood) style, the introduction
scene of the leading lady Deepa (Zeenal Kamdar) is that
when she emerges from a swimming pool in a revealing
swimsuit. Deepa is the relationship manager in their hotel
and a part time yoga instructor
Deepa gets a feel of what theses four guys are up to, and
she strangely plays along as she enjoys all the attention
she's being showered with. So the four men and this woman
get together & have a blast, all throughout where all the
guys keep taking chances to impress her & hit on her while
she keeps playing with them all along.
Right from the beginning, then midway and then till the
end there are lackluster moments boredom and silly
situations.
There are reports that Men Will Be Men was shot in a singe
schedule of some weeks and it is made on a small budget.
No wonder that the lyrics, music are not worth a mention.
Even the beautiful beaches of Pattaya are underutilized
with the aim to maintain eroticism which isn’t visible at
all.

They spontaneously decide to go for a vacation to a nice
place with the sole intention there will be girls, alcohol
and too much fun. They choose to go to Thailand with the
dream of having fun and excitement in Pattaya. So off they
are to the so called paradise for males. There are some
fun moments with the Thai hotel employee repeating their
words.
It is very clear, their intentions of choosing a holiday
in Pattaya, Thailand. So the narrative too, comes straight
to the point. Hunting for women, they happen to chase the
same woman, and she makes them run around in circles.
Gaurav Chopra and Rajesh Kumar are the only guys who are
fine and restrained in their performances. Rahil Tandon
and Rohit Khurana do overact at times. Newcomer Zeenal
Kamdar has the looks and she is just about okay. Rajesh
Khattar has virtually nothing to do in this film.
We are taken to Pattaya right in the beginning where there
is some fun. Men will be men lacks in a proper script and
good music. It is presented by Red Chillies Idiot Box, the
TV arm of Shahrukh Khan's Red Chillies Entertainment. It
is a disappointing fare.
