Plot
Debu (Rahul Bose) is a 32-year-old advertising agent, but has a serious problem in that he is still a virgin. He meets Baba Hindustani (Vijay Raaz) in a hotel who promises to cure him of the teasing he gets from being a virgin. He later meets Nitin Kapoor, a film-maker (Saurabh Shukla) who later films him as he works out in the gym and other physical activities. Unaware of what is happening, Kapoor edits the film in such a way to give the impression of Debu as having sex. The film is released and becomes a box office hit and Debu quickly becomes a sex symbol.

Critical reception
Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama gave the film a rating of 1 out of 5 and said that, "The film has an interesting plot in fact a story like this has never been attempted by an Indian film-maker before but how one wishes the twists and turns in the story were captivating enough to keep you glued right till the climax."[6] Shahshi Matta of Planet Bollywood gave the film a rating of 4.5 out of 10 saying that, "The film looks hurriedly put-together and the contemplation's of the protagonist at various points in this film (on love, the gay character, etc.) look like they belong to another film. A film that could have been. But clearly wasn’t."[7] R. Swaminathan of Rediff commented on the film saying that, "The film is not everyone's cup of tea. If you are looking for a family entertainer, you are eyeing the wrong film. But if you want time out with your locker room buddies or with your girlfriend, Mumbai Matinee is the film."[8] India Today criticized the film saying that, "Matinee's meandering script hobbles on its compelling plot, and by the time the nerd scrambles into bed, you are past caring."[9]
