Na Ghar Ke Na Ghaat Ke

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.

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.

I didn't even know this movie existed. One of my friends, who already watched it, convinced me to watch, considering I was the biggest movie maniac he knew of. A little interest was developed, however, I knew I wasn't expecting much going forward. But, hang on! It delivered right from the first few minutes. The comedy was sensational. It was very simple, however, the characters, who were paid very low of the abilities, delivered marvelously well with beautiful comedy and drama. Not to forget the role of Ravi Kishan, the other two acted equally well. This movie describes the great Indian Culture significantly well through the comedy unlike today's coming of age stories and relationships. What's more to look more? You go for a joyous ride in this movie and explore the Indian Village life mixed with the always-busy and hectic city life. My Ratings is 7.5/10

Well to start with, let me state that the title of the movie has no relevance to the plot whatsoever. Its completely misleading.

Performances::

In terms of performance Rahul Agarwal (actor/director), gets into the skin of the character. The delivery and accent will make you instantly connect with Devki Nandan Tripathi. Next in line is the performance of Om Puri who as usual is spot-on. He get a meaty role and delivers with utmost perfection. I haven't watched Narayani Shashtri on telly but did find her performance in the movie commendable. Anant Mahadevan was okay'ish. Item number by Shweta Salve was good.

Coming to the other side of the coin. To start with Ravi Kissen makes over-the-top attempt to connive us with his acting skills as Madan Khachak. Falls flat. Neena Gupta comes across extremely artificial, just don't ask me why. Paresh Rawal presence is not justified in the movie. Neeraj Vora wasn't required.

There are many good points about the movie. What I particularly liked is the feel of Hrishida and Basu Chatterjee touch in it. The common man, simplicity - if you know what I mean. "Main Meri Patni Aur Woh" was the last time I felt similar about it. The one-liners deserve a special mention as they have adequate dose of clean humour. Substantial characters are introduced into the plot, sadly they do not fleshed out adequately (or maybe got chopped on the editing table).

Cinematorgraphy is good. The authentic feel of the village deserves a special mention. The songs are pleasant. Remo's title track lingers on for a while. And lastly the direction is extremely good, considering that its wielded by a first-timer. Has enough potential to mature into continuing the lineage of Hrishida and Basu Chatterjee genre of movies.

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.
