Later in the court, except Yogesh, none of them sign the divorce paper and then, the movie comes to an end.
The odd Couple movie deserves 3.5 stars out of 5. The concept of the film is a plus point for the film. However, the screenplay was slow in patches yet it attaches to the Audience till the end to know what will happen next. Overall it was a decent movie.
