Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge?

There is a family of 3, father, mother and son have a guest to welcome whom they can't remember as a known one, yet the guest live with them for an unexpected period of time. They don't know, when will the guest leave their home?

Not a believable story, even every scenes seem to us as unreal, far from the reality. The jokes are quite passable. There are several religious scenes which we never enjoyed. Otherwise it entertain us a bit. Overall, not recommended.

'Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge' is a fun entertainer, nothing earth shattering of course; but still definitely worth watching. The jokes are generally clean and the film can be enjoyed by the entire family.

The premise is slightly hackneyed, and not all the jokes hit their mark. For instance, the sequence at the hotel with the police raid is rather unoriginal. Still, the actors give their best and their comic timing makes a decent script fun.

Paresh Rawal is a big reason for the film's success. He manages to milk every situation for laughs. Konkana is fine, but the role doesn't give her as much scope as her indie films. Devgan is alright. At two hours the film's length is just about right and it manages not to overstay its welcome!

Overall: watchable entertainer

7 / 10

The movie had great expectations. That was quite natural having Paresh Rawal in the casting. People might expect this to be another Hera Pheri. However, I didn't had any of that kind of expectation. I just wanted to watch a decent comedy movie.

The first 15 minutes were the best part of the movie. However, later the comedy scenes were too isolated and stand independent. And most of the comedy/tragedy have not required a guest. Any other character in the movie could have done those. There are hardly any jokes you could remember.

The unnecessary songs leave their mark, making you to think why the hell so many songs are there in the movie. There are 3 devotional songs!!!! But, "Jyothi Jalaile" is the only songs you would remember for its funny side (it has the tune of famous "Beedi Jalaile" from Omkara).

The acting by all the members are good. But, the story lacked a good comedy theme in it so that actors can contribute more.

The two things you would remember coming out of the hall are the "Jyothi Jalaile" song and the climax. I recommend this only if you have no other work and just want to kill some time.

Its one of the best of Paresh Rawal equally supported by Ajay and Kai Kai.. Perfect family fun.

The Legendary Hrishi Da cinema, that was sweet and simple is back after a long, long time in 'Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge?'. It's not half of what the cult filmmaker made during his heydays, but talented writer-director Ashwni Dhir brings back such memories, of telling a simple story in the most simplistic manner.

'Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge?' is about a family of 3, who's life turns upside down when a Atithi knocks on their door claiming to be a far-away relative. Dhir's writing and direction both are fantastic in the first hour, you just don't stop laughing. But his writing and direction falters in the second hour, it loses grip and becomes really dragging. If you laugh loudly pre-interval, you yell at post-interval portions. Despite being a good film, it's minuses cannot be forgotten.

Coming to the performances, Ajay is good. Konkona Sen Sharma is, as always, proficient. Paresh Rawal is the real scene-stealer. The Legendary actor sinks his teeth into the character and brings it out with flying colors. Satish Kaushik is terrific in a brief role. Sanjay Mishra is okay.

On the whole, This 'Atithi' is welcome, because of it's simplicity.
