Movie Review....Aloo chaat

There's a story behind how i landed up watching the movie "Aloo Chaat".

I went to see "AA dekhein Zara" as per the timings printed in TOI but when i reached the theater...only one show was running at that time and that was "Aloo chaat" and i could not come back as it was a treat; so...we decided to watch it. But as the movie went on, i felt that if its name would not have been Aloo chaat it would have pulled in much more crowd.
I wud rate it ***1/2 (8.0/10)

The movie stars:
Aftab Shivdasani(Nikhil)
Aamna Sharif (Aamna)
Kulbhusan Kharbandha(Papaji)
Linda Arsenio (Nikkie) She is very pretty....cute and awesome!!
Manoj Pahwa(Sexologist)
Sanjay Mishra

There’s almost every spice to suit the Indian palate in director Robby Grewal’s flicker. Nice comedy after a long time which you can watch with your family. Family drama, comedy coupled with good acting makes it a must watch.

Nikhil a Punjabi munda back from the US, loves a Muslim girl Aamna but is sure that his traditional Punjabi family – comprising of his conservative, and authoritative Papaji , Mummyji and Mamaji – won’t accept her as the bride.So he gangs up with his uncle, a sexologist, and hatches an ingenious plan (They planned so thinking of DDLJ nothing else common b/w this movie and DDLJ). He gets a bikini-clad firangi gori (Nikkie) to pretend as his fiancée while Aamna is left to win over the family’s heart by doing everything that’s considered right in a typical Punjabi family in Delhi’s Lajpat Nagar.

There are some genuinely funny moments. Like the old granny suspecting Nikhil to be a gay after watching the movie “Toota Mountain”. Or Nikhil’s suspicious mama creating troubles. A psycho chat waala who says absurd things out of the blue in a unique way which makes people laugh.

Aftab Shivdasani again showed that he is comfortable with comedy(Being Hungama , Masti etc under his belt), while Aamna Sharif (carrying her traditional image forward from TV) makes a comfortable debut that doesn’t put much demand on her acting skills. Linda Arsenio chips in a lot of glam as the American gal who is forced to sunbathe in Dilli ki dhoop wearing a two piece bikini, showing her tatto work perfecltly placed in her waist line. The supporting cast – Kulbhushan Kharbanda, Manoj Pahwa and Sanjay Mishra – is simply superb.

Although you know the how the movie is going to end but it flows so smoothly that you forget about the ending and keep on watching and enjoying every moment. Most importantly you come out smiling saying "Mast movie thi yaar".

A good timepass fun.....
