well, finally comes a movie after 3 idiots which u can be proud of, really splendid work by the cast nd director. The plot is engaging: it deals with corruption in such a believable way that u get a leaf on how to live your life mow a days. By the way, I really didn't know Minisha Lambha can be so convincing and lovable, I mean she perfectly fits her part and plays it superbly. And yes, no amount of words can do justice to double role essayed by BOMAN IRANI, again showing marks of a great actor, albeit a little bit putting effort this time which really shows. His portrayal of a simple, honest and truthful man really deserves standing applause for the manner in which he gets into the skin of the character and lives it. the music of this movie was d only thing which disappointed me, solely because it wasn't that soothing and relaxing or foot tapping, as it had only 1 song, but it wasn't suppose to be a musical, was it? This movie can be called a perfect foil for Rang De Basanti, if RDB leaves u wid a question, WDA gives u an answer; if RDB stirs your soul, WDA steadies it and gives it some relief. So really go for a superb treat for eyes and start thinking yourself or maybe acting yourself on how to change the system.
Well Done Abba, saw this movie last night and it was good, the story which revolves around a well that was never dug is just awesome, it was handled very sincerely, The corruption that goes on in Indian Administration is very well depicted, from a Peon to the Collector how they exploit people is shown with sincerity and truth and this was a tongue in cheek comedy...
The issues taken up in the movie were true to life, like the marriage of a girl to a sheik and the corruption....
Boman Irani was just awesome, Minisha Lamba and her boyfriend was well suited and wonderful in their respective roles, Ila Arun in a small role was good... Ram Kishen as a Boob Frenzy Husband was good... The Confused Police Officer was wonderful...
But the Hyderabadi lingo wasn't so accurate as it should have been...

This one is another fine piece of work delivered by Shyam Bengal after Welcome to Sajjanpur. Apart from direction the next credit goes to the casting team for choosing the right actor for leading this project i.e. Boman Irani.
You are going to love this light hearted dramedy about the struggle of a lower middle class (barely literate) man to do something good for his family and society.
Manisha Lamba surprisingly delivered one of the best acts of her career I would say and the presence of Ravi Kishan as a Sub-Engineer adds the much needed extra flavour to this classic.

In a recent interview given to a reporter after movie "Ferrari ki Sawari", a question was asked from Boman that which movie is closest to his heart. Boman modestly answered that all the movies are special but "Well done Abba" has a special place in his heart.
Though it's quite old movie, I only watched it in fractions until today when I watched it completely and throughly enjoyed every single moment of it.
It's another brilliant performance by the versatile Boman Irani and the other characters in the movie are crafted nicely as well. And the movie does leave a mark on your heart.
The well known situation of corruption at every level is portrayed in a light hearted manner and how Abba fights with it is a treat to watch. This reminds me of the movies like "Khosla ka Ghosla" which is a story of another common man and how he faces and overcomes the challenges with the support of family and friends.
If you still haven't watched it for some reason, put it towards the top in your Watchlist! ;)

Good movie, I always liked Boman Irani and thought he was a very good actor. But unfortunately he has given a pathetic performance here
This movie could have been so much better , a master piece in fact but like uncountable Bollywood movies it ends up short in just being a good movie.
It tells us the story of a below middle class Muslim father who wants to get his daughter married and takes a month off from his work to go to his village and find suitors for his daughter. As he goes to his village, he is compounded by many problems that face any average villager in India.
In a nutshell this is a story of an average villager in India. It is a good movie, but had the potential to be a classic, had the performances been better. It also has very serious editing issues that should have been addressed. There are various superfluous sub-plots that do no contribute in any manner to the movie. Hence it just ends up being a good movie
7/2\10
