Review By: Utpal S. Chaudhary
Bollywood Aaina Rating: 2/5 (Two)
Star Cast:Tusshar Kapoor,Kulraj Randhawa, Anupam Kher, Om Puri, Mukul Dev, Johny Lever, Anita Raaj, Sushant Singh, Chandrachur Singh, Harish and Farida Jalal.
Director:Samir Karnik.
Producer:Samir Karnik.
Music Directer:Sandesh Shandilya, RDB, Shiv Hari and Abhishek Ray.
Genre:Romance.
What’s Good: Good performances by one and all make one sail through the film at least once.
What’s Bad: Direction, storyline, screenplay, dialogues are the drawbacks.
Bollywood Aaina Verdict: On the whole, Chaar Din Ki Chandni stands no chance to woo cine-goers in front of Vidya Balan’s Kahaani which shares the release date with it
Watch or Not?: for time paas.
Story: Chaar Din Ki Chandni begins with Maharaja CV Singh (Anupam Kher) who is proud of his royalty and is rigid about marriages in equal class. His lazy sons Mukul Dev, Sushant Singh, Chandrachur Singh and Harish forcefully live up to his terms and in bargain enjoy the royal status. His only educated son Veer (Tusshar Kapoor) is too in awe of him but falls for Chandni (Kulraj Randhawa) while studying in London. Veer brings Chandni at his mansion in Jodhpur where out of fear he introduces her as journalist who is interested in covering his sister’s royal wedding. Now, will Veer gather guts to announce his love to father or remain mum forever is the rest of the story?
Story Treatment: Too many old wines in a new bottle define this flick the best. It runs short of originality both in terms of substance and style. In the age, where Indian cinema boasts of out of box and techno savvy concepts, films like Chaar Din…comes as a shocker with a thin plotline which revolves around Hero, Heroine and villain Baap. The only saving grace is some worth noticeable performances but they fall prey to poorly written dialogues.
Star Cast: Tusshar Kapoor beautifully switches the lanes from a sophisticated guy to loud ill-mannered Sikh. Kulraj Randhawa is brilliant initially but gets sidelined post interval. Anupam Kher gives a flawless performance but the monotonous nature of his character kills his efforts. While Om Puri as Chandni’s father induces some life to the film but he too after a point bores, mother Farida Jalal is simply wasted. Mukul Dev, Sushant Singh, Chandrachur Singh play their part well but Harish barely talks. Johny Lever as and Anita Raaj as CV Singh’s rival and wife respectively are good in their small but pivotal role.
Direction: To glorify a tiny simple subject into a full-fledged drama by adding old elements to screenplay is what Samir Karnik is all about. He surely showed succeeded in his last release with Yamla Pagla Deewana with the same trick courtesy the Deols. But, nobody can save Chaar Din Ki Chandni where his favourite formula will fall flat especially when it strikes an uncanny resemblance with Yamla…too in terms of direction. What compounds further to the misery is gisse-pitte (droning) dialogues and screenplay which leaves with nothing but abundant déjà vus.
Music/ Dialogues/ Cinematography/Editing: Music too doesn’t ring a bell because of lack of novelty. The question arises why anybody would take pains to buy an album comprising of songs over heard. Dialogues too leave one in despair Cinematography impresses at some moments. Editing is strictly ok.
