Benutzerrezensionen

Ammy Virk has done a good job of playing the role of a typical Punjabi man in his mid twenties looking to land on American soil. The story is well written in some parts and very poorly written where the characters suddenly throw in some humour punchline while looking at 10 dead bodies. The movie could have been much better if the ambience would have stayed constantly on the dark tone. All the humorous dialogues just becomes an annoyance.

Aaja Mexico Challiye is a very diversified Indian drama. The film revolves around ambitious, dishonest and naive Parminder who dreams of immigrating to the United States of America. However, the organism that promises to make his dreams come true sends him onto an illegal route to the promised land. Parminder arrives in Ecuador where he meets other illegal immigrants such as a narcissistic Pakistani and a quiet woman from Iran who got expelled from her family. With the help of shady smugglers, the immigrants move through the jungles of Ecuador, Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatemala and Mexico. On their difficult journey, they have to resist attacks, disease, exhaustion, famine and thirst as their lives are going to be changing forever. Will Parminder and his new friends make it to the United States of America?

This movie convinces on numerous levels. First of all, the acting performances are truly memorable. Parminder's family members in particular are very energetic, faithful and severe as they try to support him but also warn him of possible dangers. The employees of the organism that plans illegal immigration are portrayed as being evasive, manipulative and shady. The smugglers are shown as aggressive and impatient but also as careful and organized. The leaders of the human traffickers are portrayed as being inhumane, menacing and violent. The different immigrants are shows as desperate, naive and resilient. Several characters of the latter category are quite memorable such as a petrified father of a young son, a quirky Indian immigrant who is considered an outcast and constantly made fun of and a weird survivor who joins the group and tries to get as much clothing, drinks and food from its members as possible.

This film also finds a dynamic mixture of many different genres. This movie is a drama because it portrays the difficult challenges that illegal immigrants have to face over a long period of time while criticizing the organizers, smugglers and traffickers behind them. It's also a comedy because the film features a lot of cool one-liners and memorable situation comedy portraying the different economic, religious and social backgrounds of the immigrants. The movie also turns into a tragedy as several immigrants are risking their lives far away from home to make it to a country where they are not even welcome. The ending of the movie leaves a particularly lasting impression.

The settings of the movie are perfectly chosen and provide an authentic vibe. One can observe simple but charming villages, shiny and fake business locations, small and isolated airports, dirty and simplistic camps as well as dangerous and dense vegetation with jungles, mountains and rivers. The lighting techniques provide some atmospheric depth to these locations as the movie meanders between depressing and hopeful moments.

On the other side, the movie also features a few lengths. Particularly the scenes in the protagonist's hometown and a few dancing and singing sequences don't fit in with the mood of the film and lead to an unnecessarily slow exposition. The film's conclusion will lead to controversial reactions. I thought that it was very fitting and left a lasting impression but other reviewers have expressed disappointment or even shock. Before watching this film, you should be aware that the topic it deals with is indeed very serious. This isn't supposed to be a movie that makes you feel good despite a few dancing choreographies and humorous scenes that might initially mislead you.

At the end of the day, Aaja Mexico Challiye is a diversified Indian drama that deserves much international acclaim, attention and recognition. The mixture of comedy, drama and tragedy should keep viewers on the edges of their seats and might lead to a few impressive surprises. This movie convinces with gripping story, stunning locations and intriguing characters. Just make sure to understand that this movie is indeed very serious and even sinister under its cover of humorous and joyful elements.

I generally don't watch movie in a theatre this was my second movie in theatre in the last 3 years. I must say I am glad I watched this movie in a theatre and contributed to the success of this movie (financially).

From the very beginning till the end movie is captivating. There is not even a single min where I felt bored. Even thought the subject of this movie is very sensitive and serious still the comedian kept it light and hilarious.

It is different level of cinema The whole cast of this movie is amazing. Everyone did full justice to their role.

I would highly recommend to go and watch this movie in a theatre and promote good cinema instead of watching the sense less comedy movies.

So, i watched it on tv it has unexpected story not for all Punjabi audience because they are not habitual to these type of movie they just want stereotypical movies which had a love story, music, singers not important that is there any actor in movie or not they want singer first who is doing actor, this movie is out of box i like how Ammy represent a youth the character played by Ammy seems like the guy in our daily life. But they named the movie wrong, which is not giving good inpression at first and also the trailer not looks good i think that's the reason why i don't go to cinema for this. I am appreciating this movie and the writers who wrote the story, i am hoping next time they are upto new thing just don't rpeat the mistakes.

The story is based on truth. However, it could have been much greater by working more on dialogues. Amy has done a good job as usual. Other stars could have done better. The originality of actual views were not there.

Overall average movie.

I did not expected this. This movie is mind boggling and it's based on true events.

Acting was awesome. Thanks Emmy virk paji for making punjabi industry to the next level it's better then the as usual romentic drama punjabi movies.. we need different kind of movies in Punjabi industry..and please guys support your own cinema..

As an avid fan of Ammy Virk movies, this movie is a sheer disappointment! 7.7/10 stars really?!! Have these 8 people been watching the same movie???? The plot/storyline had potential on paper but extremely let down with the below average direction, the dialogue was witty at times but a seasoned actor like Ammy would/should know a films success cannot be pinned on a couple of one liners. Overall very disappointed - sorry Ammy...I really hoped this movie would be up to your usual standard - but unfortunately it's well off.

Yaaar movie reality based h jo kafi logon k sath hota.. Humour , fun, sb kuch r Sad b akheer ki h.... Yr mza a gya...worth watching hy ye movie.......................

Go and watch the movie. 100% recommended video.. love the concept and real based stories.. really happen specially i have tears in my eyes at 01:55:30 Those who want to do this first you have to watch this masterpiece reality based movie.

I'm sure you will change your mind , if you have any sense.

If you die there then what will be the purpose??

Risk your life at any cost For the sake of money?

Go abroad in legal way otherwise you don't have to go there in search of ducking money.. Do something here in your country if you have any serious problem then you have to concern some legal ways........

Movie was excellent and we wanted to watch till the end. Please watch and support the movie . Ammy Virk as usual is funny and good actor. We rated 10/10 as it kept us on our chair till the end.

The story was and is close to home . But direction and flow of the story that was badly told. I expected bett r. But anyhow it's a different story can be watched on ott.

Please do not watch!! Why can't they just make a good, Happy ending and positive movie!? My mood just totally got upset, movie is for entertainment or for depression?? What a waste of time and energy!!!! Seriously, I am so upset with the makers.

Aaja Mexico Chalienge, a 2023 Hindi-language film directed by Rahil Ashraf, is a roller-coaster of emotions wrapped in the guise of a comedy. With a talented ensemble cast, a unique narrative, and strong undertones of personal growth, the film manages to strike the right balance between entertainment and meaningful storytelling. At its core, it's a light-hearted but poignant journey of self-discovery, friendship, and the pursuit of one's dreams. This review will delve into the elements that make Aaja Mexico Chalienge a delightful watch.

A Fresh Concept with Universal Appeal The film opens with a quirky premise: the protagonist, a somewhat disillusioned and uninspired man, is encouraged by his best friend to embark on an adventurous trip to Mexico. The catch? He has never traveled abroad before, and the decision to go is mostly impulsive. As the title suggests, Aaja Mexico Chalienge is not just about the destination but the transformation that the journey brings.

What sets the film apart is its ability to blend humor with introspection, allowing it to resonate with a wide range of audiences. The story doesn't rely solely on slapstick humor but instead weaves in clever dialogues, situational comedy, and tender moments. The journey to Mexico acts as a metaphor for the larger journey of self-realization, where the protagonist not only learns about a new culture but also unearths his own strengths, weaknesses, and desires.

The Characters and Their Chemistry The heart of Aaja Mexico Chalienge lies in its rich character development. The protagonist, played by a remarkably charming Vikrant Massey, is relatable and likable, if a bit lost at first. Vikrant's portrayal of a man trying to figure out his place in life feels authentic. His character arc is one of growth, where he evolves from being cynical and directionless to someone who actively embraces change and is willing to pursue his passions.

The supporting cast, particularly his best friend, played by Aparshakti Khurana, adds a layer of warmth to the narrative. Their dynamic is natural and believable, with Khurana's character acting as a catalyst for the protagonist's transformation. Their camaraderie, along with the unexpected relationships they form during the trip, further enriches the storyline. Each character represents a different aspect of life's journey-dreams, fears, love, and friendship. The balance between humor and emotion is brought out beautifully through their interactions.

Direction and Cinematography Rahil Ashraf's direction ensures that Aaja Mexico Chalienge stays grounded in its heartwarming essence while still providing the audience with visually appealing scenes. The choice of Mexico as the backdrop for this journey feels refreshing and vibrant. The picturesque landscapes, colorful streets, and the overall ambiance of the film's setting transport viewers to another world. The director has managed to capture the essence of Mexican culture beautifully without making it feel forced or overdone. From lively markets to peaceful beaches, the visuals never fail to capture the mood of the scenes, which is key to the story's progression.

The cinematography by Gargi Patel is impeccable. The use of wide shots, especially during the more reflective moments, gives the film a sense of freedom-both geographically and emotionally. Close-ups are used effectively during emotional or humorous beats, helping the audience connect deeply with the characters' feelings. The way the camera dances around the characters' emotions, from their personal moments of doubt to their triumphs, enhances the emotional depth of the narrative.

Music and Soundtrack The film's soundtrack deserves a special mention. With a mixture of upbeat tracks and soulful melodies, the music complements the emotional and comedic beats perfectly. The music blends seamlessly into the story, with each song reflecting the protagonist's internal journey. The song "Chalienge" is particularly catchy, becoming a theme of optimism throughout the film. The score does not overpower the story but subtly supports it, making the emotional highs feel even more impactful.

Humor with Substance What sets Aaja Mexico Chalienge apart from typical comedies is that its humor is not just surface-level. The film explores deeper themes such as personal growth, fear of change, and overcoming one's limitations, all while keeping the tone light. The film's humor feels more intelligent than the usual slapstick or crude jokes, making it a refreshing experience for audiences looking for a comedy that makes them think as much as it makes them laugh.

The film does a great job of balancing comedy with deeper philosophical undertones, such as the importance of taking risks, confronting your fears, and not allowing life's setbacks to dictate your future. The witty dialogues and situations ensure that the film maintains a breezy tone, yet the narrative stays rooted in the realities of self-discovery.

A Final Word on Aaja Mexico Chalienge Aaja Mexico Chalienge is a gem of a film that deserves to be celebrated for its charm, humor, and heart. It's not your typical Bollywood comedy-this is a movie that leaves you with more than just laughter; it leaves you with a sense of introspection and inspiration. The powerful performances, relatable characters, and strong narrative make it a film worth watching multiple times. Whether you're in the mood for a light-hearted trip or a deeper reflection on life's choices, Aaja Mexico Chalienge offers both.

In a world where feel-good films are often dismissed as shallow, this movie proves that comedy and substance can co-exist beautifully. It's a reminder that sometimes, the best way to find ourselves is to take that first step toward the unknown-just like the protagonist does in Mexico.

This one i was looking forward to. The film had really different subject and trailer seemed good but film was so badly made don't know what these guys wanted to make . Neither film is serious and neither it is a comedy. And ending was like the lead act just told them to finish it off.
