Aloo Chat





It seemed like i have ruined my weekend & instead of Watching Aloo Chat i would have been better off Eating Aloo Chat .....
For starters i am not a Aftab appreciator and hence was anticipating a crap movie anyways .But my assumptions certainly came true. Its the modern version of Hrishikesh Mukherjee's Kisi say na kehna the 1983 flick staring Farooq Sheikh, Dipti Naval and Upal Dutt. The plot is completly picked from there with some tweaks and a Delhi based background. Here Aftab replaces Farooq and Manoj Pahawa does a Sayeed Jaferry. The movie starts off with a flashback mode along with the Irritating Manoj Pahawa who plays a Narrator or as we call a Sutradhar who keeps talking about his past with this family that was not willing to accept a Musim daughter in law and hence he and the lover boy Aftab decide to have a US brat roleplay his love interest and try to venomize their thoughts against Firangs and show some soft corner for the Muslim girl instead.
Amna Sharif i thought looked far far better in the TV mode but was not looking half as good on the 70 mm. May this could be attributed to the very desi look and some incompetent make up.
She has a long way to go to prove her self in bollywood. Aftab performance was very average not stamping any grip in the script or the screenplay.
I kept yawning most of the time until the Interval and was wondering should i leave the hall.
I would not recommend this movie AT ALL.
