Must See Movie...

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.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

The biggest star of Punjabi Cinema (Diljit) playing a character he is best known for, one of the most innovative directors of 'music videos circle' with some huge projects in his repertoire (Gifty) making his proud film debut, the nostalgic narrow lanes of old Delhi used as an immensely likable colourful backdrop and a comic theme revolving around cunning property dealers (vaguely inspired from the basic plot of KHOSLA KA GHOSLA), certainly seems to be an exciting premise for an enjoyable Punjabi comedy film tilted MUKHTIAR CHADHA along with some catchy upbeat tracks raising the expectation level.But sadly, the above mentioned potential elements appear to be great only on paper, as the film simply fails to present them all in any collective enjoyable form disappointing many, particularly the family audience expecting some great entertaining cinema from Diljit and his team post SARDAAR JI.In fact such is the substandard, upsetting result of this big project (reportedly stuck in the making for a long time) that one wonders that did they really had anything in hand as a storyline or script to shoot their various sequences at all? Because the film is just like a sum of many poor gags put together in a silly rush and all we have is the lead character and nothing else to be precise in the name of story progression or plot line heading towards a clumsy climax.In exact words, here we have a Hindi speaking friend who keeps annoying right from the beginning quite pathetically, a leading lady (Oshin Brar) unable to make any connection with the viewers whatsoever and a big display of overacting from the'Mama Ji' along with the typical mother played by the veteran Kiran Juneja. Besides there are many deliberately added 'over the top' characters too like the thin funny gangster (Khyaali), a poetry loving land-grabber (Yashpal Sharma), a big well-built person with a girlish voice and a middle aged Bihari man being repeatedly fooled on the phone, that are unable to generate any laughter in the theater ruining all the big expectations from the film. Moreover it's the clichéd sequences of a funny Ramlila being played on stage, a 10-faced Ravan riding a scooter (straight away reminding you of Akshay Kumar's scene in TASHAN) and the ridiculous machine gun firing in the climax, that strongly pull down MUKHTIAR CHADHA to even below the level of mediocre to be honest. However the biggest shock comes post intermission, when we get to witness the weirdest scene of a 'graphically created girl' inserted without any reason at all, simply forcing you to ask, 'What the hell they are really up to as a creative team?"In the technical department, the songs as well as the cinematography do keep trying to give the film its much required lift sincerely, but the background music keeps ruining their noticeable impact adding all kinds of variety sounds in its distinctive sequences. In short there is only one enjoyable element in MUKHTIAR CHADHA and that is the performance of its leading man Diljit Dosanjh alone, who just marginally saves the film from being a complete disaster.However as fans and enthusiastic viewers of Punjabi movies, everyone was certainly awaiting a much better, polished, well written and maturely directed product from the team of Diljit and Gifty together.

The worst Punjabi I have seen in a long time ..No story line what so ever . About 10 people left the cinema well before it ended .. I wish our family had done so as well ... None of us enjoyed ... it was a complete waste of money and timeTruly childish comedy but problem was not even our two children who came along enjoyed it or hardly did they laugh in this movie. If this movie becomes a hit as some are predicting I will have lot all faith in the Punjabi movie goer taste. Not even Diljit Dosanjh can save this film.What he was thinking in taking this role in fact I will think careful before going to see his films in the future.

Cliché but hilarious. Definitely a one time watch. 2 hours of laughter and craziness. Don't avoid just because of some negative reviews. 100 times better than recent Bollywood comedy movies. Watch with your family and enjoy Diljit's impeccable comic timing. Mindless comedy with enough punches to cause pain in your belly. Acting wise Diljit has again proved his talent. Oshin Brar was good in parts. Movie lacks in story department but Diljit's presence kind of neutralized every negative part of the movie. Awesome one liners like "tere kohlon mama maran di machine hegi". Conversations between Yashpal and Diljit in shayari were also spot on. Had there been a good story, this one could have been at the top of the all time greatest comedy movies in Punjabi. Rating 9: (relative) considering recent Punjabi and Hindi movies.

Trying to milk the same old theme and character of Diljeet Dosanjh failed horribly this time. with no story at all, all the characters try so hard to sound funny but fail miserably and occasional mario sounds, childish laugh of his friend and lame shayeri of I don't how who all prove that they tried to make this movie without proper dialogues, better actors and without any writer. its kind of stupid if you created a character around money but the movie itself doesn't involve any kind of money related plot.XXXX spoiler and I can't understand why the gangster paid half the money if he wanted to take over his plot with force, that is just stupid XXXX also the songs are pure s**t. period. Next time if you're making a movie, remember to hire some actors and a writer(for both songs and story).TLDR: this movie is a failure.
