Twenty something Michael Pinto has grown up in a small Goan village, believing everyone in the world to be simple, kind and honest, just like him. His world revolves around a doting mother, a passion for music and the memories of a childhood friend, Sameer, who left Goa for Mumbai many years ago and hasn't replied to his frequent letters ever
since.

Pinto's talent for music is only matched by his knack for finding trouble in the unlikeliest of places often resulting in the most outlandish and hilarious situations. When Pinto's idyllic world is shattered by the sudden demise of his mother he decides to head to Mumbai in search of the only friend he knows.

Will Pinto find Sameer or will trouble find him first? Will Pinto and his crazy antics survive the big bad city or more importantly, will Mumbai survive a phenomenon called Pinto?

The end is energetic, making up, somewhat, for the random, chaotic air the film has worn till it gets there. But the rest is strictly amateursville

Pinto had a chance to go beyond what it is - a relentless, madcap, physical comedy. But it stops short of relevance, substance, and depth

Trite gags are interwoven in a script lacking in focus or suspense

Pointless characters, too many of them, and a charmless lead character make this a dull watch

My Friend Pinto is one happy, no-frills film that’s sure to make you smile

So what is it that actually tickles the funny bone in here? Definitely not Pinto's slow and steady steps.
