The film revolves around two slap-happy college students, Bantu/Nehal (Nehal) and Chantu/Amit (Amit), who stand out in the college for their expertise in ragging and playing pranks, and their ability to outfox others. [2] As their college life nears an end, the duo begins to realize that they need to start getting more serious about their life and career. Realising that they are not cut out for a life of struggle and hard work, Bantu comes up with an idea to trick two rich girls into marrying them so that they can spend their lives comfortably which leads them to focus their attention on rich teenyboppers Sheena and Rani and set about wooing the two girls to win their love and ultimately the key to becoming rich. A mysterious woman named Nikki Malhotra enters the scene, and pretty soon Chantu and Bantu get embroiled in a murder mystery.

Reception

Taran Adarsh of IndiaFM gave the film 1 out of 5, writing, "Performance-wise, Sharman Joshi is likeable and delivers a convincing performance. Saahil Khan makes a decent debut. Riya Sen looks like a doll looks, but needs to brush up her acting skills. Shilpi Mudgal is not up to the mark. Varsha Usgaonker is okay in a brief role. Tara Deshpande overacts. Shakti Kapoor is wasted in a brief role. On the whole, STYLE is just about an average fare." [3]

Made on a budget of ₹2.5 crore, it earned ₹8.84 crore in its entire run. [1]

Sequel

A sequel Xcuse Me was released in 2003.
