Movie Review: Aloo Chaat
‘Aloo Chat’ takes recipes from NRI Punjabi loved ones dramas depicted in various movies involving Karan Johar and Yash Raj Banner and displays the same with a little change. These kinds of Punjabi NRI family dramas got praises mostly in previous decade but in the past decades these are not getting the same attention although the comedy part of the video can not be neglected. Actress Linda Arsenio impresses from her role of a pushed detested foreigner bahu into a conventional Punjabi family members. The romantic songs with the film are impressive and a few songs are choreographed well.
The actual film is about a Hindu young man who belongs to a Punjabi careful family where most of his or her personal decisions are adopted by his parents although he has been sent to The us and he is coming back coming from America with an American lover. As he is coming back from America, he expresses his desire to marry the National girl and one of his Muslim friends Aamna will also is connected with him to India.
The genuine plot is that Nikhil is in really like with the Muslim Indian lady Aamna and he thinks his mother and father won’t accept the girl from other religious beliefs, into their family. Nikhil plans to help make his family accept his or her Muslim girlfriend and he will take help from the American woman who will portray to be Nikhil’s fiancée at first and then she will embarrasses the family to just make them to accept polite Islamic girl Aamna as a better choice. The plan to get the Muslim Bahu approved in the family is formulated through Nikhil and his uncle Hakeem Tarachand, who is a sexologist.
As per the plan the foreigner lady does everything to annoy your Punjabi family, she wears small dresses, bikinis ,she has simply no respect for anybody, no culture ,she cannot make correct Indian food , her family background has divorced mother and father and the Muslim girl Aamna can be polite, adjusting ,submissive and classy in everyway. There are other funny personas in the movie that include Chhadami, the person who suspects everything that is happening in the family and the lovely aging adults grandmother to the patriarchal family going by Nikhil’s father.
A funny youngster having rings pierced all over, moves regularly to Hakeem Tarachand and the old ladies of the family believe Nikhil’s character. Nikhil’s mother is a traditional submissive wife, who has no state in her family matters. There are few amusing moments in the movie that draws and the leading lady in the film, Aamna has not much to complete in the movie.
The movie has numerous scenes that appear to be taken from some hit movies of 90’s.There are lots of sequences that don’t create interest because you don’t feel the story to become a new one but the regular Punjabi entertaining formula has been succeeding which may work for “Aloo Chaat”, the film that shows “Aloo Chaat” vendors often in between, to remind a person about the name of the movie.
The performance of guide actors is good. Aftab, Manoj Pahwa and Sanjay Mishra are simply exceptional and Kabul Express woman, Linda Arsenio is perfect. Kulbhushan Kharbanda and Dolly Ahluwalia make the behave appear Punjabi.
Although the story now has wrinkles but the movie is a humor family drama and it might attract audience attention.
