Khatta Meetha

It's a good movie to watch, simple and realistic. Kuch khatta and kuch meetha. The film is almost same as the original Malayalam movie. Acting by Akshay kumar is outstanding. Trisha is not that bad. Songs are good. I read many reviews before watching the movie, most of them negative. I don't know what the problem with this movie is. I loved this movie compared to some big budget movies released recently. It's better than Akshays house full also. Common man will like this movie.Its mixture of some good comedy and serious drama. Johny lever, Rajpal and Asrani were superb. Excellent camera work and art direction. The locations are really good.Time pass and paisa vasool

I am not sure why this movie is under rated over here. It is actually a very good movie. It is funny in parts but overall very serious and practical movie. I think the movie is under-rated because people might have watched the movie thinking it as full-on comedy movie like previous Akshay and Priyadarshan movies as it was advertised like that, but in reality it is funny only in bits and parts, while main plot covers the subject of corruption.

Acting wise Akshay as always is awesome in both funny and serious roles at different stages of the movie. Rajpal and Johny lever also did justice to their roles. Both the actresses, Trisha and Urvashi does not have long role throughout the movie and only appear in gaps but whenever they appear they are pleasant to watch.

This is an amazing movie that shows what really happens in the Bureaucracy and how this nation is being looted by unholy public private alliance. It has perfect blend of comedy, drama, romance, and hundred percent succeeds in telling us how the honest people have to suffer. Priyadarshan has succeeded to include comedy to not make it a serious plot and hats off to him to get the message through in a light way. I'm at a loss of logic why this movie should not be a hit. In my view this is a world class movie and brilliant acting done by all and of course Akshay has proved he can handle any kind of role thrown at him.

And shame on Indian masses for liking the useless rubbish of srk, salman, and aamir but not this gem of a movie.

I don't know why a very few comedies get good ratings in IMDb. I will say 'Khatta Meetha' is too much underrated as this is going with only 5.8/10 rate! What is absent in this movie? This is not a one-time-watch. This is not a mindless comedy. Under a comic stream built by Akshay, Asrani, Rajpal & Johny Lever, there goes a fight for justice of Makrand Deshpandey against the corrupted ministers, politicians to engineers. Really awesome screenplay & dialogues make you stick to the seat & laugh at every word. As the movie proceeds to the end, suspence condenses more. Will Makrand Deshpandey ultimately win over those corrupts or the system will listen to the corrupts. Find answer through the movie. Makrand Deshpandey appears for almost 10 minutes & he rocked. Akshay is as usually brilliant in 'humour', 'satire', 'slapsticks' & a cute small romantism. Rajpal & Johny Lever's combo is really great to see. Asrani entertains every time especially in that 'telephone scene'. Kulbhushan Kharbanda, Manoj Joshi, Tinu Anand, Aruna Irani, Neeraj Vohra & others have done the appropriate acting. Trisha struggles at the 'hindi' that affects much her expressions. Urvashi Sharma does good. Music by Pritam is good for your ears especially 'Sajde kiye hai'. Every thing of the movie is good except the average rating. It deserves more. I expected 7.3 to 7.6 out of 10.

The reason why the movie didn't work like other Akshay Kumars flick is because, Priyadarshan called this movie a funny flick. The movie is pretty serious and deals with the corruption in India.

The movie is funny too, the reason why other critics don't get it, is simply because they lack sense of humour.

Anyway, The movie was really well made from the proper contractor look given to Akshay Kumar, who portrays it brilliantly with his comic timing, to Rajpal Yadav's expressions.

The movie has gives a social message as well as entertains you.

The negative part about the movie is that it's too long. It could've been short and simple. The actors are loud too plus Asrani is really annoying at times.

The film is really good.
