Naughty @ 40 (also known as/earlier titled as Excuse Me Please) is a 2011 Hindi adult comedy film directed by Jagmohan Mundhra, while produced by Anuj Sharma under Gangani Multimedia Corporations and also distributed by Srishti Creations.

The film stars Govinda and Yuvika Chaudhary in the lead roles, with Anupam Kher, Gurpreet Ghuggi, Shakti Kapoor, Sanjai Mishra and Smita Jaykar in supporting roles. The film is a remake of the 2005 Judd Apatow buddy film, The 40-Year Old Virgin.

Harvinder (Govinda) is a 40-year-old man living in London with his parents, Laxminarayan Srivastav (Anupam Kher) and Maya Srivastav (Smita Jaykar), an ardent lover of the Lord. He's still a virgin and sleepwalks in the nights. One night he sleepwalks into an unknown white woman's bedroom, causing mayhem for her lover until the white woman's husband shows up. Sanjeev's father seeks the help of his employee Shafarat Ali (Shakti Kapoor) and his nephews to help Sanjeev lose his virginity, but all their efforts are futile. This brings embarrassment to LM Kapoor.

Happy's friends attempt to hook him up, where one of his friends talks to a Chinese girl, who then leads Happy to her room. However, much to the dismay of Happy, he discovers "she" is a man. The next day, Randy, Sandy, and Shafarat Ali led Happy to the massage parlour. Happy then accidentally breaks the female massage parlour's nose. In a fit of fear, they break into a run. LM Kapoor then invites Happy to Uncle Chatur's (Sanjay Mishra) house, who is a heart patient, where Happy is head over heals over his daughter. However, one night, Happy ends up causing trouble for another woman due to sleeping on her bed. Because of his sleep-walking problem, girls reject him.

The family leaves for Manali, where Sanjeev marries Gauri (Yuvika Chaudhary), a girl much younger than him. However, Gauri is up to childish pranks all the while, which results in Sanjeev getting into a physical relationship with a London-based model who is in the town for a photo shoot. Sanjeev thinks nobody will find out, but when Gauri does discover the truth, she gets a rude shock, which brings about a change in her attitude.

The film's release was delayed for over two years when the producers Anuj Sharma and Sandeep Kapoor had a fall out. Kapoor approached the Delhi High Court in 2009 seeking recovery of a loan of ₹ 1.32 crore which he had allegedly advanced to Sharma. Justice V.K. Jain allowed Sharma to go ahead with the film's release after his lawyer deposited a demand draft of ₹ 1 crore with the court registry. However, the court declined Kapoor's plea to release the amount to him stating "The question of release of money to the petitioner (Kapoor) would be decided after the entire amount is deposited with the court". He also asked Sharma to pay the remaining amount by 6 April 2011.^{[citation needed]}

Anupama Chopra of NDTV gave two and a half stars and commented, "Looked really good with all the trailers, but turned out as one of those rare films that barely get anything right!" Nikhat Kazmi of the Times of India awarded two and a half stars saying, "You have a film that can be an average weekend getaway. Nothing more, not even the plot of the laugh riot The 40-Year-old Virgin."^[2]
