Bollywood, Why Do You Do This To Me?
With lots of newness comes a film that rarely moves out of the box. Derived from his father's epic action movie, Nautanki Saala! is a very poor entertainer by Rohan Sippy.
Ayushmann Khurrana is surprisingly parallel with his role as a lover-boy from Vicky Donor, only that here the situations are different. He works so hard to keep up with his antics, but the film's blueprint just rejects his help. Kunal Roy Kapur is annoying in the first half and towards the end, his ambiguous character touches puberty only to be "so mature & moved-on." Not just him, almost all the characters have equivocal stances related to them with newcomer Pooja Salvi still thinking she is acting in a TV commercial. Evelyn Sharma compensates for the lack of item-number here. But the song "Life Ki Toh Lat Lagi" is kinda cool.
There is no story, but the plot driven out of it is what makes me rate it 3.5/10. Music is cheerful & so is the screenplay with its own share of some nice dialogs (Marathi ones), punch lines & slapstick. That's all.
With the lead female characters used as love-toys, Pooja Salvi works in a flower shop which entertains only 2 customers, Ayushmann's character wanders here and there. The movie reminds us it is 2013 but fails, abruptly to make it look like it is. Very poor attempt & I hear it is a remake. God! Why?
BOTTOM LINE: The second half is the most ennui-ridden, but if you are fan of any of the factors of this movie, I would recommend you to go for it only for the first part. One ambiguous, uninteresting movie this! And I hear Commando (another release this week) is hopeless.
Can be watched with a typical Indian family? MAYBE
Language: Strong | Sex: No, Implied | Nudity: Mediocre | Mouth-Kiss: Strong | Foreplay: Mild | Violence: Mediocre | Gore: No | Traumatizing Factor: No
