Review of this movie

The movie takes some power of undoing capabilities to write such a rushed and frantic screenplay. The scenes were running so fast as if they had to go to panvel tomorrow. There is no bond established with the parents of Jamnaa to have any sympathy or pain for them, as a result of which when the incident happens, you feel same emotions as you were in the last 5 mins. There is one forced song in the screenplay too, adding more salt to the wounds. The end of the film is just a convenient means to end and not an organic one.

The positivity is the commentary on governmental frauds and system rupture. Common men and women are puppets to the archaic institution, and so they can Olay with their emotions. The film works best when it tries to be serious, because the comedy is mostly aloof. Its mostly exaggeration and forceful gags.

Kanjoos Makhichose’ tries to straddle the line between being a pure comedy film and a pure family film, but ultimately falls short of both categories, resulting in an average movie.
