Movie Report
Robby Grewal's Aloo Chaat is completely a comedy film. The film makes the viewers laugh at times. This film has a simple story told in a very simple way, even then it has great value of entertainment. The story of the film is predictable yet intersting. The execution of the film brings back the memories of old film Dulhan Wahi Jo Piya Mann Bhaye starring Prem Kishen and Rameshwari.
USA returned Nikhil (Aftab Shivdasani) belongs to an orthodox Punjabi family and is in a fix about how to disclose the truth to his family about him having fallen in love with a Muslim girl Aamna (Aamna Shariff) while studying in the US. Knowing the temperament of his father Purshottam [Kulbhushan Kharbanda], he feels hesitant to disclose about his love affair.
Desperate to seek a solution, he takes help of his father's best friend Hakim (Manoj Pahwa), a sexologist by profession. Together they plot to bring Nikhil's girlfriend [Aamna Sharif] into the family.
Director Robby Grewal deserves a huge applause for his treatment of the subject and his narrative structure. His choice of actors is bang on with each actor right from Aftab to even the Aloo Chaat seller fitting the bill perfectly. Robby's handling of the various sub-plots, the film's Delhi setting and quirky side-characters are also worth appreciation.
Acting wise, Aftab has come back after a long gap. His acting is praiseworthy. Talking about Aamna, Look wise she is very pretty but acting wise she has a long way to go. Kulbhushan Kharbanda is excellent. Rest of the cast is appriciable.
On the whole, Aloo Chaat is a nice comedy film. It is definitely the best entertainer amongst the crowd of films released this week. It is worth a watch movie.
