SmugKitZine Tied for the best movie I have ever seen

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

joeybarton One of the best srk movie ever !! Full of twists and comedy with an amazing storyline

HeadleyLamarr A cute film about a simple village school teacher Sundar (Shahrukh Khan) who is duped by his friend and robbed of all his belongings in Mumbai. He ends up in a graveyard and causes the "resurrection" of a ghost Marco (Naseeruddin Shah). Marco, a die hard criminal, was killed by his henchman Kunta (Tinnu Anand) the day after his wedding as he wished to renounce his bad ways and return the spoils of his crimes. Now Sundar is Marco's connection to the real world and his only way to redemption and eventual release. Along the way Sundar falls in love with Mala (Urmila Matondkar) and helps her and her grandfather (Shammi Kapoor) save their college from Kunta's greed. Who is Mala? Will Marco get his revenge? Watch Chamatkar to find out.The story is simple and familiar with some new twists added in. The young couple are super cute - Shahrukh looks and lives the simple good soul Sundar, Naseer is amazing as ever, Urmila is vivacious. Ashutosh Gowarikar has a meaty role as one of the bad guys. Shammi Kapoor is immense but still entertaining. The film has some good songs - my favorite was Is Pyar Se Meri Taraf Na Dekho, Pyar Ho Jaayega - funny and melodious. The only thing that prevents me from rating this film better is the atrocious fashion show song and dance spectacle. Other than that this is a sweet, simple entertainer with a lesson. It is possible to redeem yourself and simple goodness can make good things happen.

Biswajit Tripathy Chamatkar means Magic. As the name suggests this movie is full of magical instances. Sunder a teacher by profession wanted to relocate to Dubai. He paid a money to a friend asking him to help him out. He travels to Mumbai to collect his ticket and passport. Reaching there he understands that he has been betrayed by his friend. Soon he is lost among all those crowds and the city. Hopelessly moving here and there he reaches a graveyard. There he meets the ghost of Marcos played by Naseer. Marcos wants his help to catch some killers who had killed him.With his help he gets a job as a coach in a college. Trustee of this college is the father-in-law of Marcos. All of them help Marcos to settle scores with his killers and moves to heaven.Though the film was a flop, but it was enjoyed a lot by peoples. Naseer & Shahrukh made a great pair in this movie. Urmila was so so. She needs a good director to show her skills. Watch Rangeela of RGV. Story is nice as well as songs. In all, this is a pleasant movie.

Debbie (dmul53) It's unfortunate for non-Hindi speakers like me that this film in unavailable with subtitles, because it's a fun little movie. Here's what I was able to figure out from watching:Sundar (Shahrukh Khan) is a village schoolteacher who is tricked out of his property by an old "friend" who promises him a job in Dubai. The minute he gets off the train in Dubai, he is conned out of all his luggage, and then robbed of all his money. Arriving at his new job, he finds instead that his "friend" has sent a letter explaining that there is no job.Broke and feeling sorry for himself, he winds up that night in a cemetary, where he inadvertently awakens the ghost of a murdered criminal named Marco (Naseerudin Shah) who engages his help to pay back the traitorous thugs who executed him 20 years before. Guided by Marco's ghost (whom no one but Sundar can see) Sundar gets a job at the college that is headed by Marco's father-in-law, and helps Marco settle all his old scores and earn the right to go to heaven. But that's not all! This being a Hindi film, there is of course plenty of music and romance involved, when Sundar falls in love with Marco's daughter.Naseerudin Shah and Shah Rukh Khan are wonderful together, in any language, and this movie has some nifty songs and dances (including a really enjoyable one when Sundar, with the help of the invisible Marco, does "magic" tricks for a crowd of people to raise money for a poor widow and her daughters), a cute story (as far as I can tell) and forgivably bad special effects. There's a little bit of everything: drama, comedy, romance, action, mystery, but none of it is excessively overdone as is so often the case with Bollywood.Not at all a bad way to spend a couple of hours.
