Nautanki Saala!

This was Ayushmann Khurana's second film released way back in 2013.

There are some genuinely hilarious sequences in this film and most of them are from the 1st half which is breezy and fun. However, it's the 2nd half that completely ruins the film thanks to being boring and stretched .

The film available on hotstar has several censors and weird cuts making the experience poor.

Songs are the USP of this film. Back in 2013, i fell in love with the songs of this film especially the ones sung by the lead himself.

Ayushmann khurana had played a stage actor character in Dream Girl too and even in this film. The female leads of this film have absolutely nothing to do other than be the candies for male, especially Pooja Salvi . Kunal Roy Kapoor is the best of the lot he brings in the maximum laughs, along with that south Indian stage actor.

One time watch. Could have been more better executed and edited in the 2nd half.

Inspired from the French Film "Apres Vous", 'Nautanki Saala!' Directed by Rohan Sippy, is A Decent Comedy, that has its share of rib-tickling moments working for it. Even the performances are pretty good.

'Nautanki Saala!' Synopsis: An actor's life changes dramatically when he saves a stranger from suicide.

'Nautanki Saala!' is not a slapstick comedy, its a situational comedy. The first-hour progresses well, as most of the jokes & sequences work. The second-hour, on the other-hand, is stretched & slightly boring. The Adapted Screenplay has its share of pluses & minuses. Rohan Sippy is technically sound. He knows his job well. Cinematography is lavish. Editing is crisp. Music by various artists, is hummable.

Performance-Wise: Ayushmann Khurrana & Kunaal Roy Kapur share a fabulous on-screen chemistry. They both are wonderful in their respective parts. Pooja Salvi needs proper grooming. Gaelyn Mendonca is excellent. Abhishek Bachchan has a funny cameo.

On the whole, 'Nautanki Saala!' offers humor.

Good acting, script is beautiful (to those who understand it), good overall mixer of entertainment. When you see the film you don't need to keep your brain off (like other Bollywood movies) rather you should feel the movie.

this movie was really entertaining,and the comedy was quiet good. the characters are very lively and they connect well with the audience. it starts with ram parmar going to a doctor for his worsening mental condition, he tells the doctor that he has had three breakups in three months. the whole story is about his three breakups,which are linked together very beautifully in a story. the comedy in this film is very natural.the actors do not try to forcefully make you laugh but it is the situation which compels you to laugh. i will really recommend this film. it is comical,entertaining and very well written and executed,which is very rare in Bollywood.

Very very surprised by the poor reviews. Just goes to show that subtlety is much too undervalued these days. Just LOVED this film. A comedy that doesn't depend on slapstick/ fart jokes and the likes.

Sure, the story is quite predictable, but its the smaller things that make the film stand out... the sign board on Mandar's gate, Mandar greeting King Janak in the drama with a 'HI'& Janak responding and realizing his folly and trying to correct, RP refusing to support Loli's claim that things happen between men & women, RP's justification by using the 'profile' test, and many many more.

Performances are all above average but its the use of music in this film that shines through. The songs don't feel forced and take the story forward.

The support cast including Sanjeev bhatt as Chandra and Sulabha Arya as Aaji were fantastic. All in all a complete entertainer that left me wanting for more.
