Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana

This is an Off-beat movie, unlike usual Masala cringe in bollywood which most of them prefer. The story is brilliant, the writing is magnificent. Kunal Kapoor was excellent! This was really well written but fell short in one thing to cut a few unnecessary scenes. It was a little lengthy and stretched. The characters were wonderfully crafted except for few like the antagonist. It's a feel good movie. The character Arc has so amazingly designed it seems nothing but perfect. A little disappointing in the middle due to a little over-stretched but the climax pays off. Would have loved to see a little more comedy in the dialogues and setting, there was a chance. It deserved better than how it went, recommended to watch.

I remember, once I had my privilege to taste my uncle's spicy mutton curry. It's been more than a decade…and I am yet to find the secret of the recipe and those lip-smacking flavors again on my taste buds. I am sure, you all have yours favorite too when it comes to the best of recipes, one dies to have.

Debutant director Sameer Sharma's LUV SHUV TEY CHICKEN KHURANA is quite a delicious dish in terms of providing wholesome entertainment for a complete 'Indian at heart' family. It has all the vital ingredients like the most sizzling characters who sure resemble with many in your neighborhood or in the native family, aromatic locales & lingo that take you back to your roots and a perfect mix of mild-peppery-spicy moments; only thing that could make you cringe in your seats, is the preparation time to reach till its finale but trust me on this, the more you wait for the food, the better it gets in taste. You will never regret your precious time spent in waiting.

At his first effort, Sameer Sharma scores big in the impressive 'slice of life' writing and the casting that never falls flat, not for once-not for even in its least significant characters. Besides the competent kunal Kapoor & huma in the lead, its veteran Vinod Nagpal, Rajesh Sharma as titoo mama, Rahul Bagga as jeet who all make it a feel-good watch for everyone in the family. Rush to the restaurants serving it or just wait to try this at home but please have it on your plate

There's not a lot to say here. The title as I've put it says a lot.

The movie is a bit slow (thats my only critique), but worth a watch especially for those who appreciate watching scenes that depict the vast fields & the culture in a typical Punjabi home (open heart, ability to do 'jugaad', luv shuv {as the title suggests}, and wits amongst family members)...in short the typical life of Punjab (filmy style) - all these have been sweetly depicted in the movie.

Further, the overall direction (as I said..surrounding the Punjabi life as has been shown), the music, the performances (though not awesome but good nonetheless) would serve you quite good. The roles I liked were the ones that brought a smile to my face..1. Huma Qureshi in her traditional attire and performing the role of lovely cute doc was something I looked forward to before entering the movie hall and I was not left disappointed. Her Wasseypur timing of dialogues and expressions are still in place and I believe this actress is sure to go long places if she continues that :) 2. Teetu mama..loved his role..won't go into details but lazyness, food & a good heart were some of the characteristics that defined it! 3. Kunal Kapoor - okay a second critique here but a minor one this time..he could have acted a lot better I felt, but you can ignore that understanding he's out back 10 years living in London in the movie and is not habituated to being a typical Punjabi while several things revolve around his mind. 4. The performances of side characters (dadaji, chachi, chacha, bhai, etc) were also good.

Neways..overall, I would reiterate what the title says - its slow but yes..can be classified as a one-time watch, quite simply, for the simplicity and the sweetness depicted in it :)

To be honest, the story isn't the most original story out there. Then why does the film work so well? The music is great.

Titu Mama is the character everyone talks about after they exit the theater and for good reason. He was too funny ! Huma Qureshi is wonderful as Harman, she did really well as a punjabi girl.

Chachi was good too, small role but impact-full. If there is any character in this film who felt perfectly placed in a film like this, it would be her.

Story is not that great and impressive but overall it makes us laugh a bit. Movie gives a light feel and one can enjoy watching these kind of movies.

This is a good simple movie after a long time. This movie gives you some gentle comedy rather than masala type comedy.

The story is of a boy (Kunal Kapoor) who stole money from his Daarji (Vinod Nagpal) and went abroad. After many years he found himself nowhere and was under pressure of a local gang.He came back to India to beg/borrow/steal money from his family again. His Chacha (Rajendra Sehi) was surprised and doubted him for his return. Daarji's Chicken Khurana was known as the best Chicken but unfortunately Daarji lost his memory and he did't even tell anything about the recipe. Kunal was offered 1 crore for this recipe and this was the only hope for his money and future.

Huma Qureshi has given a stellar performance. Kunal Kapoor has given a decent performance but nothing to shout about. Rajendra Sethi as his chacha is outstanding as always. Titu Mama(Rajesh Sharma)is excellent. Other supporting cast has also given their best.

Music adds a lot to this movie. Music by Amiit Trivedi is stellar. The theme music of this movie perfectly suits and the background score is also very good. Songs like Kikli Kalerdi adds some good taste to the movie.

Yes, it also have some cons but generally, we don't get such type of cinema in Bollywood. This Movie is a must watch for everyone.
