The story of the movie has three friends who meet after a long time since their respective marriages and what transpires is a complete riot. The film was much apperciated by the auidences and was tagged a commercial success. Thereafter Ritesh has appeared in quite a few movies, some of them have met with success giving the actor many reasons to cheer while some of them haven’t succeeded in posting box office gains. In 2004 itself he acted in movies like ‘Bardaasht’ and ‘Naach’. Naach despite having a star cast of the likes of Abhishek Bachchan and Antara Mali the film bombed at the box office. But with the dawn of 2005, Ritesh again tasted success in the form of ‘Kya Kool Hai Hum’, starring Tusshar Kapoor, Isha Koppikar and Neha Dhupia. The was produced by Tusshar Kapoor’s sister Ekta Kapoor. The film turned out to be an unexpected hit of the year and was among the top grosser for the year.

Aditya Srivastav alias Dittu (Ritesh) plays the role of a person who is a friend of Simmi (Priyanka Chopra) who is trying to get Roy (Abhishek Bachchan) to leave his profession as bluffmaster. The movie was directed by Rohan Sippy and all character including that played by Nana Patekar was tremendous and the movie was outstanding.

His career till date can be sumed up by terming it as a moderately success one and he certainly has a long way to go before he can be called a versatile actor but surely he has his own fans base who love watching his comic genre Bollywood movies.
