MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting

Supelice Dreadfully Boring

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Chrysanthepop After the beautiful 'Dasvidaniya', Shashant Shah is back with Vinay Pathak in 'Chalo Dilli'. It's a road movie about two strangers who almost have nothing in common are brought by 'circumstances' to travel together as they head towards Delhi. The plot may sound very familiar as movies like 'Leap Year', 'Jab We Bet', 'Forces of Nature', 'Mr. & Mrs. Iyer' etc pop up in mind.However, I found it to be quite refreshing. The interactions between Lara's Mihika and Vinay's Manu very amusing. The humour works effectively. The clash in their personalities and the funny situations that make their journey more of a disaster, are hilariously depicted. I'm glad the writer didn't choose a clichéd path by allowing the characters to have romantic feelings for one another. I also enjoyed the references it makes to movies like 'Dilwale Dulhania LeJayenge', 'Mr. & Mrs. Iyer' among many others. The Indian locations look authentic and appealing. All the songs, with the exception of the item number, have been utilized efficiently.I have always thought of Lara Dutta who's an average actress at best until now. She really excels in 'Chalo Dilli' and shows how much she's grown as an actress. She nails the part completely. I also admire that she produced the film. I hope she continues doing this kind of work and does not go back to being a showpiece or a bimbo like in most of her previous movies. As for Vinay Pathak, this kind of role isn't anything new. He's had plenty of practice and of course the result is more than sufficient. Akshay Kumar is good in an extended cameo.On the flip side, I felt that the item number wasn't necessary at all. I found the ending a little melodramatic. At certain points the film almost loses track.Shashant Shah's 'Dasvidaniya' remains one of my favourites but I found 'Chalo Dilli' very enjoyable too. With Vinay and Lara's comic banter, there's enough to keep one amused.

namashi_1 'Chalo Dilli' , Directed by Shashant Shah, is A Passable Fare, that offers some nice moments in the goings-on, that manage to hold your interest. And even the performances, by Vinay Pathak & Lara Dutta, are up-to the mark!'Chalo Dilli' Synopsis: Enroute to her destination via plane, a busy executive gets stranded with a middle-classed fast-talking male.'Chalo Dilli' works in parts and comes across as a decent one-time watch. Being a Road-Movie, the film offers some nice moments, that genuinely hold your interest. However, after a winning first-hour, the film falters in it's second-hour, that is slightly longer than it should have been. The Screenplay by Arshad Sayed works nicely in the first-hour, but post-interval, it gets a bit dragging. Shashant Shah's Direction is fair. Cinematography & Editing, are satisfactory. Performance-Wise: Vinay Pathak & Lara Dutta deliver impressive performances. And even their on-screen chemistry, is interesting. Akshay Kumar scores in a brief role. Brijendra Kala & Gaurav Gera support well. On the whole, 'Chalo Dilli' is a decent watch.

abhinab-bose I am very surprised with the number of negative comments out there for this film..OK it might be a copy of an English film but why can't anybody ignore that and appreciate the amazing performances.Vinay Pathak as usual is in superlative form.It amazes me how he picks up the minutest of details for his character.I won't say that it was like a never before seen kind of movie but it definitely was a heart warming one.A simple movie which had special moments of its own..One special mention for Lara Dutta.She acted beautifully and was at par with Vinay Pathak in each and every scene.An unusual pairing but that was the plus point of this movie.Recommending everyone to watch this film.

mukki chandra On journey from Mumbai to Delhi Bahan Ji (Lara Dutt)meet Bhai Sahab (Vinay Pathak)only because of their flight takes off in Jaipur instead of Delhi.It would be sufficient to call them Bahan Ji and Bhai Sahab because during whole journey they don't even know what are their names.OF-course once Mihika(Bhan Ji)say that"by which angle I am looking like Bahan Ji?"Mihika is a high profile lady and president of a company is traveling with a Delhi based funny guy for whom every task is like "What's the big deal" through the villages of Rajasthan.Obviously when a high profile lady is traveling with a middle class person then the activities are happening between them would be irritating for high profile lady and funny for audience.Actually their are more than half movie scenes which don't seen funny except some scenes like dining fart scene in a Dhaba and hotel room scene.Vinay Pathak has done great comic work just like Bheja fry irritating guy for which watching movie doesn't seem time pass.The final scene is heart touching scene of movie which explain why Vinay Pathak say "What's the big deal?".However it's a watchable movie and doesn't seem waste of money.
