Sharmaji Namkeen

I love the movie from start till end. It was too good. Humor, comedy, emotions, care, love, no extra over the top drama or buildup. I wait for such story oriented movies and really thank the makers for doing a fab work. All the actors are superb and well known. No nonsense style, it brought a smile to my face.

This film belongs to *rishi kapoor* - fun loving,,, foody buddy.

Paresh Rawal, taking up the same role is a wonderful decision..., *after rishi kapoor's exit* for an obvious reason..!

Never felt that Paresh Rawal had *replaced* Rishi Kapoor.

Simple story which has emotions, drama, laughter, friendship and relations - *A complete family entertainer..!!*

Sharmaji Namkeen review :

Rishi Kapoor's swan song turns out to be a warm and touching tribute to the versatile actor who passed away in April 2020 leaving this film incomplete. Paresh Rawal then stepped in to shoot the remaining portions and thus, we get to see both Rishi and Paresh in the same role of Sharmaji - a retired private sector employee who finds solace in cooking and makes it his new profession, much to the chagrin of his two adult sons.

Admittedly, it takes about ten minutes to get used to watching both the actors playing the same role but the screenplay is so breezy and sweet that you get used to it soon enough and then actually end up appreciating Paresh Rawal for gamely inbibing the nuances of the character left incomplete by Kapoor. It is a fantastic performance. The supporting cast, comprising Sheeba Chaddha, Ayesha Raza and Parmeet (Bittu) Sethi, are super competent.

As for Rishi, he is absolute natural here and looks so cute and childlike in some scenes that you just wish to hug him. Sharmaji Namkeen is a perfect feel-good farewell to the fine actor who entertained us for five decades before leaving for his heavenly abode. His scenes with Juhi Chawla will certainly invoke the fond nostalgia of their Bol Radha Bol (1992) days. Do watch it. Sharmaji, tussi fun ho!!

It is good to see two lengends are in one movie one is live & one is living in heart the acting of both the actors are good the movie is good to watch....😍😍😍

The movie scenes were so amazingly edited that at time you will forgot that the actor has been changed for the character. After the movie completed you will not able to remember which scene has done rishi kapoor which not.
