However, “Khatta Meetha” is not as serious as the basis for the plotline. Akshay plays the role of Sachin Tichkule, a struggling road contractor who seems to have no luck in making it big in show business. In order to make it big you need money to bribe people with - which Sachin has none of! What makes matters worse is that the municipal commissioner that Sachin works for turns out to be his ex girlfriend, played by Trisha, who now hates him! Throughout the movie it seems like Sachin simply has the worst luck ever. As Sachin swerves his way from one disaster to the next, the film reveals the extent of corruption and bribery in the system - in a hysterical way of course! Sachin displays how to work the system in order to get where he needs to be.

The movie will be a delight to see not just because of the funny story line, but also because Trisha is not the only actress making a debut; Akshay will be making his musical debut! Considering he is fluent in Marathi, he should not have a problem singing Pritam’s tune “Nana-chi Taang” with Trisha! The film features four original songs and three remixes composed by Pritam and Shani. “Khatta Meetha” is set to hit theaters on July 23, 2010.
