Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Shridhar Patel Reading some of the other reviews, I was astonished to see some 9- 10s being given to this movie. A score usually reserved for best work in cinema is being reserved for a film that has few defining moments. Yes, there are some good laughs, but the real kicker is the terrible story that gets introduced halfway through. SPOILERS NOW: At some point, the audience is treated to a suspicion that the uncle and aunt are actually TERRORISTS here in London for a bombing! Such a plot development completely ruined the film thus far, which was alright. Afterward we are treated to a preachy story about the son of the uncle and aunt who passed away in 9/11. Such an abrupt and sudden tone change does not suit a comedy film. The two protagonists spend the entire film trying to think of a plan to get rid of these unwanted guests and the best they can do is to abandon them at a coffee shop? Extremely lazy. The songs were okay, same with the acting. Nothing spectacular, but for a Paresh Rawal film, for which my expectations are usually much higher for, I was thoroughly disappointed.
Sumi Mishra I actually wished to rate this 0/10. And it's not because of my high expectations from Paresh Rawal based on his other movies. The movie was cringe-worthy and appalling. Without telling you about the story, here are a few things that actually happened and/or are shown in the movie: A song about farts. About 70% of the supposed comedy in the film is on farts. I cannot remember the exact number of times Paresh Rawal farted, followed by everyone stopping and making a face and his wife commenting about his bad stomach. The other 30% of the supposed comedy in the film consists of comments on India-Pakistan relationship, Racism, Sexism and misogyny that'll leave you uncomfortable if you care about those issues. A scene where the "Chachi Ji" decided to give a proper massage to their neighbor's (Pakistani man+ black wife) kid. She complained about how the kid's skin was dark because the mother didn't clean him properly. Something like "Had she cleaned and massaged him properly, he wouldn't be so dark" Casual instances of sexual harassment in workplace ignored by everyone until Chachaji needed to be shown as a hero who cared about women. This is subjective, but they had shown so many video clips of 9/11 towards the ending. Trust me when I say this, but the actual footage of planes crashing and people jumping off the building to escape suffocation did not add anything to the plot of the movie. It was a sad, pathetic and shameful way of generating emotions in the audience. I have watched many movies in Hollywood invoke deep feelings while using the 9/11 as a plot but not showing anything other than an audio of the news about the event. It was the last straw for me about this movie. I am ashamed and infuriated that the makers of this movie would stoop so low to generate emotions in the audience. (the movie was still U/A BTW). P.S. I am not against using that as a story, or showing the memorial at the end. But using actual footage from the incident was very, very disrespectful and unnecessary in the movie. The blatant "traditionalism" shown was very irritating for me. How the guests imposed all sexist traditions on the guy's girlfriend was just ridiculous. And of course she was okay with it towards the end because that's what women are supposed to do, right?What's still worse is that even after having not particular standards about comedy, the movie's story-line was haphazard to say the least. Ah, how did I forget about the part where they suspected their guests were terrorists and the producers made a supposed comedy about ISIS killing people? They became suspicious after seeing them talking to a Muslim BTW. Just plain appalling. To sum it up, even the basic message of the movie was absurd. It basically said that Indians would feel better about leaving their guests in the middle of nowhere rather than confronting them about them overstaying their welcome. I have lost faith in Bollywood movies after this. I took my Dad (a doctor) along with his friend's family (both doctors) who obviously don't enjoy comedy based on farts. I wouldn't blame my dad for not wanting to watch any movies from now on.
Takethispunch Except for the guy who played the uninvited ol' guest. That guy is a really very good actor. The movie is very lame n boring at times. The film is a comedy revolving around a man, who is in a live-in relationship with his girlfriend when two fellows barge into his home as guests.
Vikesh Sham 8/10 Paresh Rawal has definitely taken the lead in this flick with his perfect comic timing. Kartik Aryan has done a just job with his role, Kriti & Tanvi Azmi have also done a decent job. Although not a big banner movie, but definitely worth a watch, will appeal to all seniors as well. Good job done by the writers, they have underlined a meaningful lesson with all the senseless jokes.
