Na Ghar Ke Na Ghaat Ke

Rahul Aggarwal's under-rated 'Na Ghar Ke Na Ghaat Ke' is An Enjoyable Comedy! It catches you by surprise & entertains, at most parts.

'Na Ghar Ke Na Ghaat Ke' Synopsis: A naive villager faces challenges when he gets a job in a big city.

'Na Ghar Ke Na Ghaat Ke' begins tepidly but gains momentum as soon as the protagonist comes to the big city. However, the second-hour is monotonous. The series of events do hold appeal, but some innovation definitely would've been more impressive. The Screenplay is sweet & simple. but succumbs to monotony in the final-hour. Rahul's Direction is decent.

Performance-Wise: Rahul suits the part. He's every bit of the common man & portrays the part with sincerity. Narayani Shastri is subtle. Ravi Kishan is fantastic. He enacts the loud character with amazing ease. Neena Gupta & Om Puri are excellent. Paresh Rawal towers above all with a flawless performance.

On the whole, 'Na Ghar Ke Na Ghaat Ke' is much better than expected.

It's a legendary movie full of comedy and realistic scenes. A big shout out to the Director. It's a complete picture of what an ordinary villager would go through in his first time visit to a big city like mumbai. Mr Madan Khachak has been the favourite character throughout the movie. These types of comedy movies are being missed a great time in this era.

Clean, Straight and a never seen kind of movie. A true comedy at its best! Every scene is so realistic and reminds of old school kinda movies. Leaves you laughing; thinking about the movie after the end. The star-cast is marvelous; excellent editing and a decent comedy that a family can sit together and have a fun time around.

The movie starts with a usual introduction of a typical Indian Village and the people living in it by Devaki Nandan Thripati - the main character of the movie; The comedy is a non-routine and non-typical story where a Devaki Nandan Thripati's experiences moving to Bombay for his first Job are extrapolated in his day to day life. Comedy is interwoven at every step, every dialogue and every scene. Its just so natural in the story, with every character contributing at their own level and the dialogues, the typical village style slang has made it further more interesting.

Om Puri, Paresh Raval & Nina Gupta - all the veteran actors have topped the respective roles as usual and have delivered an excellent performance in every aspect.

Delivered an excellent performance at every moment, living the character to the fullest, despite his debut.

A must watch for all comedy liking folks out there.

My Wife and I were recently looking for movies we have not seen before and by chance came across this one.

From the beginning you're taken by the lead character played wonderfully by Rahul Aggarwal into the lives of folk in India from those villages that aren't so well known.

It has comedy timing which has been seriously lacking (speaking 7 years on from this movie).

A fluent film well scripted and well cast. Each actor plays their role to perfection. A mix of new and experienced cast members with the likes of Paresh Rawal, Om Puri and Ravi Kishan having some incredible comedy moments.

I would recommend this film to anyone who enjoys simple none over the top comedies.

Rahul Aggarwal directs and acts in one of the year's most refreshing comedies. 'Na Ghar Ke Na Ghaat Ke' is a celebration of old school Bollywood movies, a celebration of the cultural diversity in India, and a celebration of the common family. Rarely has culture clash been depicted so realistically yet with a sharp humour (in this case the clash is between a Bihari villager and a Bombayan city slicker). The linguistic and traditional barriers have been hilariously depicted here. The movie does have a message and even though at some point the delivery of it is done with an in your face approach, the comedy makes up for that.

Om Puri and Neena Kulkarni are excellent as the proud Bihari couple. Ravi Kishan is hilarious as the Bombayan slicker while Paresh Rawal is in his usual element (that's not a bad thing in this case). Rahul Aggarwal and Narayani Shastri share great chemistry and are a convincing pair on screen. They hold their own against theit more experienced costars.

'Na Ghar Ke Na Ghaat Ke' is a sincere little film and it's pleasing to see that there still are filmmakers today in India making movies about life in India. Aggarwal's film is refreshing, sincere and funny as hell.
