Khatta Meetha

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.

It's an amazing movie. It is blockbuster hit on TV. You can find this movie on TV at least thrice a month , and there are millions of movies... so you can now understand what i am trying to say.

This movie is very underrated, it is very uncommon for a film in Bollywood to cover so many genres in a one single movie, I don't like mainstream Bollywood movies but this. this movie is perfect. backed up with awesome comedy, satire, action and superb acting by all the actors, this movie is off the level. i don't know why it is rated very low and i feel sorry for the people who don't like this movie and rather watch typical Bollywood crap, akshay kumar, rajpal yadav and several other supporting cast has done very well, this movie depicts the condition of our government offices and workers quite well, it is surprising for a movie in Bollywood to show a serious topic of society with comedy in it.

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.

I am rating it a 10 because it is under rated.

First of all, it is very funny. Those actors know how to be funny. There were two funny scenes that I had to watch more than once. The father's painting got blackened, and the guy who got all mixed during his two phone conversations. I also laughed hard when the road roller was running backward. The chicken music was also funny when it was used during the bathroom peeking scene.

It is amazing that even though the Indian economy is not as good as China's, but their filmmakers are making impressive realistic films about bureaucracy than any Chinese directors can ever make! I am certain that these kinds of things are happening in mainland China right now, bridges collapsing, roads that need to be fixed constantly due to corruption, etc. However, Chinese film directors can never make any films like this one due to communist censorship. This is another film which Chinese directors should all watch, and make one of their own.

Here are a few famous quotes that I wrote down.

1. So if you are benefiting from it, then let us reap some benefits as well. If we benefit the country will progress, who cares about the country's progress? We are the country.

2. Only dishonest and cheat people can lie peacefully in this country.

3. I am allergic to bullshit. Minister's lecture.- bullshit. He'll give food to everyone. bullshit. We will drink clean water, bullshit.

We have the power in our hands and legs. We are not less than anyone. O thorn of the country listen to me. Why do you fill your pockets? If he gets a chance, he'll sell the whole country.

New roads and bridges will be built, bullshit. We won't get stuck in the traffic, bullshit. The work will be done on time, bullshit.
