9/10
Wholesome entertainer
28 July 2023
Too good and a wholesome entertainer. Extremely witty and funny dialogues with a very good screenplay and gorgeous art design. The film looks extremely lavish and pretty and has the content to back it. Absolutely firecracker of a cast. Shabana Azmi, Jaya Bacchan and Aamir Bashir are the backbones of the film. Terrific acting by them. Dharam paaji without even saying anything shows how potent acting is without dialogues. The first time he mouths a full sentence, I got literal goosebumps. Ranveer is an absolute firecracker as he gets into his own element and owns the character of Rocky Randhawa. He shows his comic range as well as emotional range with aplomb. Alia goes toe to toe with him as their chemistry is sizzling. All the talk after watching the video of 'tum kya mile' about their non existent chemistry goes down the drain once both of them appear in the frame together. 1st half is a laughter riot and the second half takes over a more serious tone and touches upon some serious issues which are handled well given how mainstream the film is and who has made it. The film is just a shade under 180 mins but I never for a second gets boring. This is easily Kjo's best work. Go watch it and have a fun, relaxing and chill weekend. You won't regret this purebred Bollywood style masala family entertainer.

Jaya Bachchan saying ' keh dia na bas keh dia.' Literal chills man!
