I Loved the Movie, Nice and Light. First time I Watch a single Character Played two Different Actors and both Perform Well. Rishiji We love you, and you gave one of the best performance in this movie, we miss u.
It is good to see two lengends are in one movie one is live & one is living in heart the acting of both the actors are good the movie is good to watch....😍😍😍
Anwar Says : A real tribute by Paresh Rawal to the legend Rishi Kapoor, same character played by two veterans but you would still feel that Rishi Kapoor could have finished this. The sweater clad Rishi's role was tailor made for him and may be looked as Baghban-2 .
Hitesh Bhartia's team of cinematography and editing would not feel you awkward the frequent change of artist and the simplicity of all other characters including Juhi Chawla would take you to the end of the movie. Sushil Nayar is the only character worth mentioning besides the two leads , as he stand tall against the stalwarts.
Music by Sushil Khanwakar is not at par with his previous one, but as Chintuji fan , watch this to pay homage to him , and you would not regret. His cute antics would make this a memorable one . 3.5 out of 5 from me.

Sharmaji Namkeen review :
Rishi Kapoor's swan song turns out to be a warm and touching tribute to the versatile actor who passed away in April 2020 leaving this film incomplete. Paresh Rawal then stepped in to shoot the remaining portions and thus, we get to see both Rishi and Paresh in the same role of Sharmaji - a retired private sector employee who finds solace in cooking and makes it his new profession, much to the chagrin of his two adult sons.
Admittedly, it takes about ten minutes to get used to watching both the actors playing the same role but the screenplay is so breezy and sweet that you get used to it soon enough and then actually end up appreciating Paresh Rawal for gamely inbibing the nuances of the character left incomplete by Kapoor. It is a fantastic performance. The supporting cast, comprising Sheeba Chaddha, Ayesha Raza and Parmeet (Bittu) Sethi, are super competent.
As for Rishi, he is absolute natural here and looks so cute and childlike in some scenes that you just wish to hug him. Sharmaji Namkeen is a perfect feel-good farewell to the fine actor who entertained us for five decades before leaving for his heavenly abode. His scenes with Juhi Chawla will certainly invoke the fond nostalgia of their Bol Radha Bol (1992) days. Do watch it. Sharmaji, tussi fun ho!!

Sharmaji namkeen is a comedy drama family film directed by hitesh bhatia. Lets not talk about the positives and negatives for the film. Lets not judge this film and only celebrate it for india's one of the most finest actors is working in it. Rishi kapoor and his legacy will always go on. Paresh rawal deserves all the praise for agreeing to this film. Watch it. Watch it for all the beautiful moments it will give you. You will have a constant smile on your face. Its a beautiful film.
