When was the last time you saw a film with the hero conning people and, yet, turning out on the side of angels?
Well, maybe not too long ago. Bunty Aur Babli saw Abhishek Bachchan and Rani Mukerji play the desi Bonnie and Clyde with a lot of masti.
Forthcoming films like Bachke Rehna Re Baba and Phir Hera Pheri also boast of con artistes.
Bollywood has always had a soft corner for such films. Like the Amitabh Bachchan-Vinod Khanna starrer Hera Pheri, Bachchan and Shashi Kapoor starrer Do Aur Do Panch and Akshay Kumar-Saif Ali Khan starrer Keemat.
rediff.com takes a look at films dealing with con jobs.
