The monologue at the end by sanjay mishra is oscar worthy performance.
Mainstream Bollywood movies suck for sure. But this low budget comedy- drama taking on the ever-increasing prices of daily commodities in India, specifically Haryana is a must-watch.
Sanjai Mishra as the lead is amazing with him being a breadwinner of a middle-class family. His wife runs a salon while his brother is in love with a grocery-shop owner's daughter. The plot moves up as the family takes a loan under the disguise of opening a grocery store. Things fall apart when the loan inspector arrives. Now, what they do of the money & how they tackle the mounting consequences is a wonderful comic show & I enjoyed it.
The message that shoots up is essential & with all its glory of cinema- watching, I rate it 7/10.
BOTTOM LINE: Go for it, because it has good cast, good humor, good story & a wonderful message - food for thought!
Can be watched with a typical Indian family? YES

This movie is so small, most people don't know it exists. Yet, it deserves to be seen by more people because of its sheer brilliant satire and comedic flair.
Sanjay Mishra shines as the main protagonist with a great supporting cast. Anyone living in the Indian sub continent will easily identify with this film. The director has caught the essence of middle class citizens masterfully. The humor is subtle, not over the top which is rare in Indian cinemas. You will connect with the characters instantly.
Overall, I rate it 8/10. Go watch this one and you will have some food for thought, while having a good time.

One of the other reviewers, Mohammed, refers to this film as being a 'Hidden Gem', which is a beautiful way to describe it.
It is a well-acted, well-scripted, well thought out film that provides the watcher with everything from pathos to poignancy.
All the major parts are played perfectly; the two brothers, the wife, the father, the loan inspector, the shop keeper, the prospective parents in law, the various friends - there isn't a weak link amongst them, which is unusual with such a large number of characters all with speaking roles.
I think the director, Anshul Sharma, should be very proud of what he's created here, as tackling a social issue such as inflation and how and impacts on the lives of the typical family, isn't always easy to do, and is particularly hard to do in an entertain and watchable way - and that is exactly what this film is.
So if you've had your fill of all-action Masala movies and fancy something a little more thought-provoking well do give this little gem a try.

A light hearted comedy on a topic relevant to today's world.
Puttan Pal(played by Sanjay Mishra) is a common man in rural india fed up of inflation rate in the country.To tackle the problem, he takes a loan on his son's name to open a shop and buys the required material for whole year. In reality, the family wants to use the material for their daily household uses. But loan inspector(played by Zakir Hussian) comes as a problem. How will the family save themselves from the inspector is to see.
The storyline is simple. Nothing fancy happens here. The ending can be said to be little Bollywood type but Sanjay Mishra makes it real. Overall, worth watch.
