Chashme Baddoor

A remake of the 1981 cult-classic by the same name, 'Chashme Baddor' Directed by David Dhawan, is a Funny Film! It has several sequences that bring the house down along-with superb one-liners & fine performances working on its advantage.

'Chashme Baddoor' Synopsis: Three friends fall for the same girl. Complications follow!

The Original was a delightful clean-comedy, The Remake is loud & completely zany. David Dhawan creates a new world all together. Luckily, he succeeds by making you laugh at regular intervals. Renuka Kunzru's Screenplay is mad-cap but entertaining & humorous nonetheless. Sajid-Farhad's Dialogue offer some superb one-liners. Music by Sajid-Wajid is fabulous.

Performance-Wise: Ali Zafar is controlled, but Siddharth & Divyendu Sharma are loud & extremely funny. Taapsee Pannu looks super cute & has performed nicely. Rishi Kapoor & Lilette Dubey's Track has some sweet moments. Both the actors are first-rate. Anupam Kher, in 2 roles, is in his element. Ayaz Khan is adequate.

On the whole, 'Chashme Baddoor' has the humor & the craziness one expected from it.

this is the David dhawan superb comedy created with good numbers of shayari, dialogs and very good songs.The Chashme Baddoor remake comes as a pleasantly surprising tale from the house of Dhawans, abundant in humor and not slapstick buffoonery. Rendering a modern angle to the classic story, the film interestingly tugs at our nostalgic beads, remaining innovative making this one of the most remarkable romantic comedies of recent times. Hit the theatres armed with coke and popcorn, you wouldn't want to miss this one!David Dhawan easily surpasses the standards he had set for himself by giving the 1981 classic Chashme Baddoor an unusually quirky and unthinkable comic dimension.

Sir, is this your idea of remaking a film that you admire? Sir, you cannot just discard the film's soul, which had made it into a coveted entry in the library of Indian cinema, and just process the skin. Sai Pranjpe's Chashme Buddoor wasn't just a comedy, it was an ode to the vagaries of the city's lifestyle. It was a brilliant character study filled with memorable moments. Making your film "badder" (the cue in the title) to match the modern bad world, without backing it up with anything substantial, hardly counts.

The new Omi's rhymes fall flat compared to Rakesh Bedi's poetry. As stand-alone movie too, it fails to impress. Ram Gopal Varma made the same mistake with Aag, though your effort isn't horrendous like RGV's, it still comes across empty. Why attempt something if cannot raise or at least match the bar? Some shoes are hard to fill.

watched CHASHME BADDOOR ...cause I haven't seen the older one of which it's a remake of, so I am gonna judge it as another film of 2013.... David Dhawan this guy has some sh!t load of money which he doesn't know how to spend so he made a movie(this)... he spent money on everything(to buy 2nd hand stuff n songs) except the plot & screenplay (these need creativity more than money) n r the sole of a movie...n this soul sucks also most(not all) of the cast members r dumb in acting(i should say overacting) n their overdone effort to be witty really annoys ...lets be straight... its a complete waste of time DO NOT WATCH THIS SH!T

It's a remake of a classic Bollywood film, and in no way shape or form does it measure to that. But, I knew going into this one that I'm not going to get that because David Dhawan's directing this, and if you know his filmography even a little bit, you should know that this isn't going to be a natural, grounded, subtle rom-com. His USP is over-the-top, slapstick comedy and at times, I myself crave for some share of that dopamine which the genre provides.

The acting although nothing noteworthy is fun to watch at the very least. Ali Zafar is cute, Taapsee is cute (which is really hard for me to say since I have this image of her being the embodiment of female empowerment in every film), Divyendu Sharma is basically playing a totally opposite version of his character from Pyaar ka Punchnama but Siddharth was just annoying to say the least (he could've definitely toned it down a little bit).

The comedy is slapstick and at times, quite misogynistic but you can't really go into a film like this and not expect any amount of it because even though the film being released in 2013, follows old-school humour and thus, it was unavoidable. There are some moments which are pure laugh out loud whereas some just did not land. However, I will say that Anupam Kher is a legend. He is the least bit problematic in the film and he actually managed to get the most laughs out of me.

The songs are actually quite fun. Early Morning and Dhichkyaaon Doom Doom being the clear standouts with Har Ek Friend Kamina Hota Hai and Andha Ghoda Race Mein Dauda having a real whacky but fun vibe.

A nice, fun, time-pass for the weekend.
