Director: Priyadarshan
Cast: Akshay Kumar, Trisha Krishnan, Makrand Deshpande, Rajpal Yadav, Neeraj Vora, Milind Gunaji, Asrani
You walk to the cinema hall considering you happen to be going to have a great time with Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan waiting inside. But retain on, you possibly can be in for disappointment. Khatta Meetha is often a tired, old cousin of laughter fest Hera Pheri which the pair gave us in 2000.
The film revolves around a good-for-nothing (at least his household thinks so) road contractor Sachin Tichkule (Kumar) and his extended family. The struggling contractor pushes his luck difficult and gets nowhere. Heavily in debt, he doesn’t even have funds to bribe officials. But his labourers mean everything to him, a reality he keeps reiterating, rather yelling, irritatingly, throughout the film.
A flashback sequence shows Tichkule as an idealistic college student fighting for what he thinks is right. He even loses the adore of his life during the quest for justice, only to run into her many years later, when she could be the municipal commissioner and he a struggling road contractor.
Khatta Meetha is supposed to become a comedy but you happen to be reminded of that only intermittently. The road-roller scene as well as the 1 exactly where the veteran Asrani converses with 3 men and women at once are funny. Akshay Kumar’s comic timing is great as usual, but the repetitive dialogues make the film seem worn out.
The director appears confused what his heroine need to be: a girl-next-door or a fiery municipal commissioner. Newcomer Trisha fails on both counts. The lack of any chemistry between the lead pair is apparent, as well as the adore angle falls flat.
The reliable Rajpal Yadav as Rangeela, Asrani and Johnny Lever have important roles during the film. But talented actors like Aruna Irani, Makrand Deshpande and Tinoo Anand are wasted. Urwashi Sharma as Kumar’s sister is okay. Kulbhushan Kharbandha as Tichkule Senior is unmatched.
But the biggest dilemma with Khatta Meetha is that there's no clear storyline. The director tries to deal with as well quite a few elements apart from corruption and unrequited love. Along the way you wonder if the filmmaker did really set out to generate a satire. The funny moments are forgettable as they get mired in unrelated sub-plots that make you wonder exactly where the film is headed.
Khatta Meetha is often a hotchpotch of as well significantly drama and really modest comedy. Not advised if you have something better to do this weekend.
