YouTube video of the day: Can you count on your friend?

'Dost Chuha Nikla' is the story of a friend whose friend leaves him while he gets mugged.

What happens when you have an amazing concept for a video but fail to execute it the right way?

The video titled “Dost Chuha Nikla” has a fun concept, but the overall execution is bad. It shows a friend leaving another in the middle of a crisis – slamming the gate on him while he's getting mugged.

The friends – Fahad and Fawas – are seen chatting outside the house of the latter, talking about the assignment they are due to give the next morning, while two people ride past them, waving. Intrigued, both of them exchange looks.

After sometime, the two men who had waved at them pull over and take out a gun and ask them for their phones and belongings.

Terrified by this, Fawas runs inside the house and slams the door, while his friend gets mugged.

After the robbers go away, Fahad keeps thumping the gate, calling his friend's name. After sometime, his friend looks over from the rooftop and asks him if the robbers had left, opening the gate when he has the confirmation.

Video rating: Thumbs up for the concept, thumbs down for the execution.
