I wish everybody watches this film. It's not about entertainment, it's not about liking or not, it's about the message behind this movie. The first half of the movie is slow paced, shows a bond. The second half, I lost my words. Most of us live happy lives. We enjoy with our friends and family. We don't care about the rest. This film shows us the other side. I felt the pain on the other half of the movie. Great performance by everybody involved. I was always a fan of Rajpal Yadav and loved his comedy genre movies. But this one is different and Yadav proved that he can lit any role he's given. Besides actors, it was well executed by the director. The writing could have been better in the first half of the movie. If you ask me whether you should watch this movie or not, I would say, Yes. You should watch this 1 hour movie once in your lifetime. This film shows a lot of things, the message. 7 out of 10.

Between 2013 and 2020, a staggering 20,000 lives were lost due to treacherous potholes on Indian roads, accounting for 5% of all road fatalities. Metro cities averaged around 10,000 potholes each, highlighting the severity of the issue (Ref: Deccan Herald). Amidst this neglect and inefficiency, one individual's tireless efforts stand out as a beacon of hope, demonstrating that even in the face of bureaucratic failure, ordinary people can achieve extraordinary things.

This movie, based on a true story, tells a straightforward and unfiltered narrative that exposes the deep-rooted bureaucracy in India and serves as a poignant reminder of our collective failures as a society. Raghuvir Yadav's flawless performance is the highlight of the movie, complemented by Giaa Manek's shining performance, and their chemistry adds depth to the unflinching storyline. While uneven pacing and occasional dramatic moments hinder the overall impact, the movie still effectively conveys the power of citizens in making a difference. Positive change is not solely dependent on government action, but can be sparked by individual initiatives! A good watch.

Kaam Chalu Hai has been chosen for promotion by IMPPA (Indian Motion Picture Producers' Association) at the Cannes Film Festival 2024. The film was digitally released on 19 April 2024 on ZEE5. Kaam Chalu Hai received mixed response from critics with praise for its poignant portrayal of a father's journey and the important social message it conveys, while some others criticized its uneven pacing, repetitive scenes, and lack of depth in character development and plot progression.

Indian Express awarded half stars out of 5 stars, called it "static and bland" and wrote "Kaam Chalu Hai strictly remains an issue-based film with largely familiar beats and a narrative filled with plot holes. Angel Rani of Deccan Herald of wrote "Kaam Chalu Hai is a commendable effort that raises awareness about the great Indian civic apathy that claims several lives on the road."

No doubt it's true story not only Manoj Patil face this even many people face this every day every wear, if we see it's a big problem in our country, government wants to develop but some people are think only how to make money that's the reason to this big problem and once again The Director Palaash Muchhal proof this he is tell only truth and reality of life by his story and congratulations to all team and my favorite Kurangi.. love you bachcha and mahadev bless you.

Please... must watch this film this story tuch your emotions and heart .... I watched and I like it this story .. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

The movie would have been far better if the story line was taken care.

A kid going for District level Cricket is not aware of the thirsty crow story, father directly entering the classroom of his daughter ( in an international School). Why the kid was not wearing a helmet? Kid would not have died on the first place. One of the students died and there was no announcement at school, teachers are not aware on of their student and class teacher saying student is absent.

Rajpal yadav's talent got wasted.

The movie would have been far better if such things were taken care. The scenes were coming up very randomly.

"Kaam Chalu Hai" starring Rajpal Yadav had potential, especially with an actor known for his emotional depth and comic timing. Unfortunately, the film fails to deliver on multiple fronts. The storyline feels scattered and lacks a coherent flow, making it difficult for the viewer to stay engaged.

The pacing is painfully slow, dragging through scenes that seem stretched far beyond their necessity. Instead of building tension or emotional resonance, it ends up testing the audience's patience. While the intention behind the story might be noble, the execution is disappointingly weak.

Rajpal Yadav tries his best to carry the film, but even his performance can't save the movie from its underwhelming direction and inconsistent screenplay. Supporting characters are poorly developed and fail to leave any impact. The emotional scenes, which should have been the film's strength, feel forced and unconvincing due to clichéd writing.

In the end, Kaam Chalu Hai feels like a missed opportunity. What could have been a powerful social commentary is instead lost in a sluggish narrative and a flawed script. It's a film that starts with promise but ends with disappointment.

The underlying message of the film is both inspiring and thought-provoking. It prompts audiences to reflect on the broader societal implications of neglected infrastructure and the urgent need for change. By shining a light on this pressing issue, the movie challenges viewers to consider their role in advocating for safer roads and fostering a culture of accountability. Typically, movies dealing with weighty themes like death tend to be emotionally intense, often causing discomfort. However, director Palaash Muchhal's film offers a refreshing take on this genre by striking a delicate balance between profundity and restraint. Rather than resorting to melodrama, it prompts introspection in its viewers.

Up until this point, Muchhal's film is a montage of shots and songs strung together to depict a happy family. The film's pace is slow and the execution is like a dramatised version of a social service advertisement. Performances up until the big twist are purely cursory, to the point of being caricaturish. The banter between them seems quite artificial. It's only in the second half when the film begins to deliver its message. It's understandable to show the happy family so the audience can relate with them, but the first half is way too animated. Nonetheless, the seriousness of the subject is well documented, as the story progresses and one can relate with just how diabolical and dangerous these potholes can be. They can snuff life out of anyone within seconds or worse still, maim people for life. But the administrative apathy is so rampant that it's frustrating to see why it doesn't lead to serious consequences like falling off of a government.

Kaam Chalu Hai is a great creation that delineates the struggle, hope, expectation, despair, agony and above all tragedy of a common man realistically and artistically. The film surpasses the debate about whether the theme is based on a real incident or not. This can be a story for everyone.

Plot-The film can be divided into Three parts.

1st Part- The film follows a straight lineup for the first 34 minutes, and this duration depicts the hope, aspiration and expectation of a middle-class Indian family who dares to dream amidst struggle and hardship.

3rd Part Uneven Fight Against the System: Duration 56th minute to Not Murder but touch of Affection Wins One Man Army to Heal the Wound Larger Message- Humanity and Values Win

Characterisation Rajpal Yadav, as Manoj Patil, has made another stunning all-around performance for this exceptionally talented actor. The whole action revolves around Rajpal Yadav, who has done justice in depicting all emotions through his unparalleled performance.

Kurangi Nagra- A potential actress with all probabilities to emerge on the larger canvas.

Giaa Manek has realistically portrayed the role of an ideal Housewife, a mother and wife.

Remarks- This is a must watch film and yet another great performance of Rajpal Yadav. Do watch.
