Batti Gul Meter Chalu

I loved the trailer and its empathetic value before going to the movie, but perhaps bad edits and bad narrative spoiled the movie. The story line is very predictive and doesnt carry enough emotion towards the story. Sharaddha Kapoor might be a good actress, but I dint see much use of her skill except for 2/3 songs and marketing of a heroine. Second half of the film felt very promising but again, due to unwanted jokes/comedy it lost its essence, it felt a lot like #JollyLLB series but thats now what this movie was intended to, even if it was, it wouldn't live up to the expectation of #JollyLLB series coz a lot of jokes bounced off. Shahid Kapoor, Divyendu and despite lesser screen time Yami Gautam did perform great but it lacked the narrative.

I hope they correct this and re-release or though this culture of cutting multiple scenes for DVD release in India isn't that popular, I can only hope that makers do something about its narrative style and re-release it.

I'd gone for 2/3 but Shahid did amazing work as an actor, I blame bad narration for all bad ratings.!

Movie takes up an important issue, though fails to do justice with what it could have achieved. Given the long duration of movie and poor performances it's totally unworthy of emptying pocket.

Batti Gul meter chalu is a movie which deals with the topic of issues the poor people face with electricity.

This is one of the best movies of Shahid Kapoor after Padmaavat. The performances of the actors like Shraddha Kapoor and Divyendu Sharma leaves an impact with the audience.

Yami Gautam's performance is not up to the mark. All & all, the topic of the film is relevant, but the weak point of the film is its runtime, which is long.

Directed by Shree Narayan Singh, Batti Gul Meter Chalu tells the story of how people are suffering from corruption in the electricity system.

You will like the film, but at some points it gets boring also. So this film is a one time watch because of Shahid Kapoor.

Worst movie...I have watched till date...taking big stars doesn't mean that good story is not required ...it is must audience come to watch stories not just see photos of Bollywood stars.

When I first watched the trailer I decided to not spend my penny on this one. I however watched it when I got a chance to watch it for free. After watching the movie I would say that it is better than what appears from trailer.

Tone, Script & Story: The story revolves around complaint(s) on an electricity board and three friends. The court room drama is peculiar (mostly humorous) in its content.

Direction, Screenplay, Cinematography: The movie comes to us from director who directed Toilet- Ek Prem Katha. It is not that good but is good enough. The locations filmed and the way story is told is a treat in itself.

Music: Music is good. My favorite track is 'Har Har Gange'. Acting: Justified.

Final Verdict: The movie highlights, trending complaint(s) on electric supply which are nicely handled! If you have time and money and looking for some entertainment do watch it. You won't be disappointed.
