All well and good, and Short Kut manages reasonably well except for a fatal flaw in this join-the-dots kind of filmmaking: it's one thing to get all the elements in place, and wholly another to make the gags actually funny. So while there are obvious jokes in place, the lack of a strong cast and actual vim fail to get the first half off the ground, but all those setups ensure that the post-interval proceedings are engaging enough. By the time the Bowfinger-inspired climax comes around, chances are you're actually laughing.
At a time when 'comedies' seem to have become nothing but a mindless procession of gags, it's good to see writer Anees Bazmee come up with an actual plot. The points of conflict in Short Kut are authentic, and -- thanks to Akshaye Khanna's stoically solid performance -- you do end up feeling for the leading man as he undergoes severe trials and tribulations.
A scene from Short Kut: The Con is OnKhanna, in fact, is the finest thing in this film by a long shot as he plays a wannabe writer-director. It's hard to bring meat to a character doused in integrity, but Khanna manages to stay clean and keep it believable as his character struggles with heroine woes, betrayal and writer's block. Amrita Rao doesn't have much to do, occasionally looking nice and often not.
