A few decades ago, the Dilip Kumar starrier Ram Aur Shyam worked big time due to its novel premise, among other things. The concept of a seedha-sadha guy and his street-smart twin brother and the incidents that follow kept you thoroughly entertained. 'Good Boy Bad Boy' bears an uncanny resemblance to 'Ram Aur Shuam', since Good Boy Bad Boy is also about the sharif (Tushar Kapoor) and the not-so-sharif (Emran Hashmi) and how the confusion of names brings the best out of the two in the end.
Unfortunately, this good idea is highly under-nourished, which results in a fare that's pointless, emotionless, dramaless, humorless and impactless. Honestly, the concept had tremendous scope to entertain since the film is set in a college campus. But the screenplay is so dull and dreary that barring a few laughs in a scene or two, you actually leave with a frown on your face.
