Nonureva Really Surprised!

HottWwjdIam There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.
Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
El-joker This movie is very underrated, it is very uncommon for a film in Bollywood to cover so many genres in a one single movie, I don't like mainstream Bollywood movies but this. this movie is perfect. backed up with awesome comedy, satire, action and superb acting by all the actors, this movie is off the level. i don't know why it is rated very low and i feel sorry for the people who don't like this movie and rather watch typical Bollywood crap, akshay kumar, rajpal yadav and several other supporting cast has done very well, this movie depicts the condition of our government offices and workers quite well, it is surprising for a movie in Bollywood to show a serious topic of society with comedy in it.
Ganesh Salian (salianmoviereview) Khatta Meetha directed by Priyadarshan is awful.After watching this awful movie,you feel sorrow that you wasted your money on this movie.I can't believe that he is the same director who won the National Award for Best Director 2-3 years back The story of the movie is about corruption in India.Whats new?This has been told in more than thousand movie.But here the Sachin Tichkule (our very own Akshay Kumar) shows corruption in a comical way.The movie is a big letdown in terms of direction,acting(except Johnny Lever and Asrani),music,story,screenplay...everything.Performances-As mentioned above Johnny Lever and Asrani are the only ones who shine in brief roles.Trisha Krishnan is okay.The rest are dull(including Akshay Kumar).On the whole Khatta Meetha is bad!
namashi_1 Priyadarshan's 'Khatta Meetha' is a Below Average fare, that suffers from poor writing. It fails to become a satisfactory comic satire in every aspect.'Khatta Meetha' is a yet another flick that goes on to say that 'Honesty' always wins, and 'Dishonesty' doesn't. How the truth still weighs tons more than lies. Been-There-Done-That Stuff! The film begins well, but loses the grip completely after a point. The second hour holds scant appeal, and one gets lazy till it reaches it's culmination. The writing is bland, and as mentioned, fails to become a satisfactory comic satire. Priyadarshan's direction is just about okay.Acting wise, Akshay Kumar does well, but he's repeating himself. Trisha Krishnan doesn't impress. Rajpal Yadav & Makrand Deshpande are very good. Urvashi Sharma is wasted. Kulbhushan Kharbanda is alright. Johnny Lever manages to bring in a few laughs. Manoj Joshi, Milind Gunaji & Jaideep Ahlawat ham. Neeraj Vora gets zero scope.On the whole, A disappointment by all means. Thumbs Down!
Herag Halli This movie is hundred times better than "Three Idiots" which is a scum of a movie that is a disgrace to India and Indians. Akshay Kumar is never known for his acting nor does he care to be considered one, But this actor can hold a screen and embellish other actors with his charm for comedy in the face of adversity or downright tragedy. The characters are very familiar, akin to R.K Lakshman Cartoons. Several scenes are so real like the laborers not getting paid, the "Madam" in the bank who goes by the rules, the laborers cooking rice in the back yard of the rich family etc. The "Road Roller" scene is just pure mirth. This scene reminds me of mechanics in India or anywhere who are trusted to fix something and end up dismantling and demanding money to put it back. If we can laugh at ourselves and at the end get few white pearls out of it, we will prosper as a Nation instead of demeaning the Nation and it's Citizens as in "Three Idiots". What We is need more Priyadarshan's than Aamir Khan's.
