yes it does have some some funny moments and its not a total write off too. I guess that's all that I can tell.

it's banned in Pak?

Khatta Meetha sucks.

It's a movie that is supposed to talk about the rot in our country and it preaches it long and hard. On the whole a very predictable movie (remake of a 1980's Priyan movie).

The same actors, same kind of sets, same acting....it is bore to the core.


Verdict - 1/5. Avoid.

[SILVERWOOD]

I wish I could at least call “Khatta Meetha” a mindless comedy but it isn’t even that. Priyadarshan has thrown in oodles of melodrama and dollops of attempted-morals in a film that is for the most part intended to be a funny political satire.

The film has a struggling hero, corrupt elder brothers, sarcastic sisters-in-law, a righteous patriarch and eve-teasing politicians, reminiscent of B-grade Hindi film sagas from the 1970s.

Akshay Kumar is a road construction worker struggling to make it big like his dishonest brothers. Initially it seems like honesty is the only impediment to Akshay’s road ahead but as the film progresses you realize that he is not that honest after all. Then why does he try to reiterate again and again to his elder brothers that they are successful only because they are unscrupulous?

The narrative is all over the place, an item number here, a song sequence there, lots of drama, an attempted suicide, an alleged murder and a brutal death of the villain, and Priyadarshan seems to think his job is done. Where is the finesse with which he made us laugh and cry in “Billu” or the psychological thrill and the seemingly unintended comedy that was there in “Bhool Bhulaiyaa”?

You will manage a few laughs because Akshay’s and Rajpal Yadav’s comic timing is instinctive. But other than that the film seems like a never-ending ordeal. Trisha is a total misfit and her lip-sync seemed off in a number of places. The rest of the cast is the usual ensemble that you see in most of Priyadarshan’s Hindi films. They do a reasonable job considering they can do little to overcome a very bad script.

The film is a remake of the Malayalam political satire, Vellanakalude Naadu (1988) which was a huge success but the problem is something that worked in 1988 has a limited chance of working today unless the director effectively repurposes the original story. It’s a huge letdown from a director who we know is capable of much more.

yes, its slow and predictable. But still much better compared to recent movies like ILHS, Kites, Khatta Mittha.

Watched Quick Gun Murugun yesterday.

I had little expectations from this movie, but it was worth watching.

I loved the characters - Rice Plate Reddy, Gun Powder, Rowdy MBA, Mango Dolly etc.

The dialogues were just amazing.

Quick Gun Murugun : Rascal, I'll teach you how to behave.
Gun Powder : Need not to worry, mein correspondence se seekh loonga.

Quick Gun Murugun : Name your poison.
Mango Dolly : Cocktail, I love cocktails. (To bartender) Aaj kya kya hai ?
Bartender : Se* on the beach, Honeymoon special, Se*y dame.
Quick Gun Murugun (To bartender) : Aaayyyeee, apashabdo ka prayog karta hai, ladies ke saamne. Non-veg jokes udaata hai.

And my favourite one was:

Mango Dolly : To, kaisa laga tumhe ?
Quick Gun Murugun : Good, next time put thora aur elaichi in payasam.

You have to watch the scene to know why this dialogue was so funny.

Tere Bin Laden :

A fun movie with good humour. Though not outrightly funny, instead slapstick humour in bits & parts. Very very different from the regular bollywood comedies. A good one time watch.

Rating: 7.5/10
