Khatta Meetha Preview

Wed, 07/14/2010 - 07:03 — Anonymous

Starring- Akshay Kumar, Trisha Krishnan, Rajpal Yadav, Johny Lever, Makrand Deshpande, Asrani, Aruna Irani
Director- Priyadarshan
Producer-Akshay Kumar
Music Director-Pritam Chakraborty, Shani
Genre- Satirical drama comedy
‘July 23 Sachin Tichkule promises you a road full of pot holes’ and ‘ ‘July 23 Sachin Tichkule promises you a bumpy ride’, if these lines still seem alien to you, it is the whacky and zinger tagline of Khatta Meetha movie releasing on July 23rd that has already captured hearts of many with its promos and trailers.
Khatta Meetha is a satirical comedy drama movie revolving around mafia and corruption in the construction business. Even as one cannot help laughing as Sachin escapes from one trouble to fall into another, the film in a light hearted way reveals the level of corruption and crafty ways one have to adopt if they want to survive enjoying the bumpy ride. It also makes it a point to reflect the misuse of government funds by government contractors who are responsible for highway construction and repair in India. It is partly an indication towards the rampant use of fake material so that the contractor keeps making money by fixing the same stretches.
The story also deals with the notorious murder of Bihar PWD engineer Yogendra Pandey in 2009. Makrand Deshpande plays the murdered engineer and Akshay plays his colleague who uncovers the mystery behind his death. The presence of comic stars like Rajpal Yadav and Johnny Lever are the evidence enough to prove the extent the movie will be a complete laughter show, apart from the fact that Akshay Kumar has already shed his stuntman image and emerged as reigning king of comedy.
The actress in this movie, Trisha is famous south Indian actress, Priyadarshan will be launching in Bollywood. This is the first time that a heroine will play an important role in his movie. This makes the role more challenging. She has to play two characters in different time periods.
Just to set the record straight, like all other Priyadarshan movies this is also taken from a south Indian movie. Khatta Meetha is a remake of the 1989 hit Malayalam movie, Vellanakalude Nadu, directed by him only. Its movie cast was a famous Malayalam movie pair Mohanlal and Shobana.
In one line this movie appears to be promising and is at its hilarious best one should look out for.

  • Khatta Meetha Review

    Movie name: Khatta Meetha
    Starring- Akshay Kumar, Trisha Krishnan, Urvashi Sharma, Rajpal Yadav, Johny Lever, Makrand Deshpande, Milind Gunaji, Kulbuhsan Kharbanda, Asrani and Aruna Irani,
    Director- Priyadarshan
    Producer-Akshay Kumar
    Music Director-Pritam Chakraborty, Shani
    Genre- Satirical drama comedy
    Rating- **
    Khatta Meetha movie is really a khatta meetha experience. Launched and promoted in a pompous manner promising to deliver laughing riots falls miserably in everyone’s expectation. This is the weakest movie made by Priyadarshan till date. The aki and priyardarshan duo that has always managed to create great comic movie ended up being nothing more than disastrous in this movie.
    Khatta Meetha is more of a collage of isolated incidents encompassed in within its duration. The collapse of the bridge, the consequent murder of Tinnu Anand and Makarand Deshpande, the constant bickering in the house, the tu-tu-main-main between Akshay and Trisha, the sister’s track, the corrupt netas and government babus, the payment issue of workers. It feels repetitive after some time.
    The film reveals the extent of corruption and bribery rampant in the system and the ingenious means you have to adopt if you want to survive in today’s times. Priyadarshan tried to make a satirical movie of this but lost its track. There are so many things going on simultaneously while at the same time giving you a lacking feeling that something is out of place. It is difficult to actually point out what the movie is dealing with. Guess Priyadarshan had many things going on his mind while working on the script. Though it has been informative and surely gives you insight of the contractor dealings. There have been few high notes in the movie that bangs the audience right on place. While, rest of the movie is too loud without the script really speaking out anything.
    ‘Jack of all trade masters of none’ phrase surely suits this movie. There are too many concepts and plots to tackle that finally everything goes haywire. The romance between Trisha and Akshay Kumar is negligible and looks non- existent. Justice is not done to Trisha as to her potential she exudes in Tamil movies. Again, she has played her role to the best but casting was the problem. There are few comic moments that take the movie to its peak and suddenly just crashes below the level. The ending is not polished, not that the whole movie is, but it could have concluded with a right note.
    Urvashi Sharma is sweet. Makrand Deshpande and Asrani were wasted. Tinnu Anand is hardly there. Even Aroona Irani is sidelined. Kulbhushan Kharbanda was strong. Manoj Joshi screams too much. Ditto for Neeraj Vora. Milind Gunaji is okay. The actor playing the role of Urvashi’s husband does a good job.
    In whole it surely leaves the audience with Khatta Meetha experience and literally dumbfounded not knowing they should have expected more or less.
