Gujjubhai the Great

I couldn't stop my self laughing any single moment. Really jaw-paining comedy. I wish Sidharth Randeria can get fame at not only national level but also international level. The movie should also get released at Bollywood level (with Hindi version). So that people can see potential of Sidharth Randeria. Very creative situational comedy and spontaneous screenplay is brilliant. Through out the movie you can not stop your self laughing. Believe me, I was not disappointed at all. Had a laughter riot in the hall. Great work by Bakul & Hasubhai. Great actors both of them. With their entry in Bollywood, sky is the limit! Really 10/10 movie.

Gujjubhai - The Great is an end-to-end Gujarati comedy entertainer starring Siddharth Randeria in the lead and directed by his son, Ishan Randeria. Siddharth Randeria is a big name in Gujarati plays and his "Gujjubhai" series of plays have been enacted hundreds of times in India as well as abroad. Him taking a plunge in Gujarati movies was just a matter of time.

Story and Screenplay (9/10): It's a story about a father trying to make his daughter fall in love with the groom of his choice, thereby creating situations that will bring laugh riot in the theater. While the plot is not so new, the screenplay is brilliant enough to keep the audience engaged. The USP of the movie is dialogs. Punches are strong and perfect comic timing of Siddharth Randeria and Jimit Trivedi just keeps you laughing long after the dialog is gone. A lot of everyday Gujarati words like "methi maarvi", "buch vaagi jashe" cannot be translated to any other language and are very much proprietary of Gujarati language which brings the authenticity to the entire set up.

Acting (8/10): The movie is almost entirely shouldered by Sidhharth Randeria and Jimit Trivedi, when it comes to acting. The movie doesn't boast of any other big names, except for a cameo by Dharmesh Vyas at the end. SIddharth Randeria has already proved his mettle through his plays, so movies is a piece of cake for him. Bhool Bhulaiyaa fame Jimit Trivedi is the ace of spade for Siddharth Randeria who impresses with his dialog delivery, accent and comic timing. The supporting cast is not so much supporting as they struggle with expressions and dialog delivery.

Direction (8/10): Ishaan Randeria impresses well in his directorial debut. With a plot that is not so innovative, creating a situational comedy that makes audience go hysterical is a very tough task. '

Overall (9/10): Overall, Gujjubhai The Great is an amazing entertainer and a must watch for Gujarati audience looking for some light comedy to enjoy their weekend. It will definitely make your jaws pain at the end of the movie.

I can call that if video record all Drama and edit nicely that makes this movie, nothing new has been given by Sidhdharthbhai in this movie. "Gujjubhai e gam gajavyu" Ni remake, and on cinematography and camera Ishan has to go long way.. It is like un-experience short film director. People watch this due to Sidhdharthbhai, Jo sidhdharth bhai Ni jagyaye biju koi hot to super flop nu label chokkas laget. so I can say it is very disappointing.. not worth watching in Big cinema, better to watch on home online instead of wasting money in cinema... lover than average.. I can give more star to bas Ek Chance .. while Isan didn't use 100% to Sidhdharthbhai, or i can say Ishan still not mature for Big screen production.

Devendra N. Patel's made really good attempt to step ahead overcome myths of Guajrati Films.

Great movie, Excellence character with full entertainment.

Jimit Trivedi as Bakul performed really great!! What an Innocent character...!

Swati Shah as Premila Gandhi, A quite different character as compare to one in Saath Nibhana Saathiya.

I gave 9 out of 10 due to absence of strong female lead. Dipna Patel was not given enough visibility. She could do better.

I strongly recommend this to all my Gujju friends.

I am expecting a lot of such releases from Gujarati film industry.

I have been an ardent fan of Gujjubhai since I watched "Lage Raho Gujjubhai" (the natak) 5 years ago. I have tried to watch his plays whenever I get time. When I came to know that this movie is currently in a multiplex near me, and that too only one show at 3:00 PM, I took a leave from office and went and saw the movie!

Believe me, I was not disappointed at all. Had a laughter riot in the hall. Great work by Bakul & Hasubhai. Great actors both of them. With their entry in bollywood, sky is the limit!

I hope we get to see more such mainstream Gujarati movies in the future!
