🤨🤨🙄🙄😪 (2/5)
Well, well, well! What do we have here? Another Bollywood charade trying to pass off as a comedy caper. This time, it’s ‘Pintu Ki Pappi’, a flick that tries to tickle your funny bone but ends up giving you a migraine instead. Get ready for a wild ride, folks, because Review Rani is about to tear this one apart. 😏
So, the plot revolves around our protagonist, Pintu (Sushant), who boasts a rather peculiar talent. Any girl he plants a smooch on zooms down the marriage aisle in no time. Now, in a normal world, this would be a curse, but Pintu and his conniving Uncle Ganesh (Ganesh Acharya) decide to turn it into a cash cow by starting a matrimonial agency. 💋💍💰
The story stumbles ahead with a series of predictable mishaps, including a hilarious encounter with a local gangster, Jaggu (Vijay Raaz), who’s hell-bent on being kissed by Pintu to get hitched. The real kicker comes when Pintu falls head over heels for a client, Pappi (Jaanyaa Joshi), the daughter of a local politico. He’s in a pickle now because if he kisses her, he might lose her forever. The rest of the film is all about Pintu trying to wriggle his way out of this self-inflicted mess. 🙄💔
The screenplay, penned by Anadi Sufi and directed by Shiv Hare, feels like a salad tossed with too many ingredients. It’s got puns, it’s got subplots, it’s got characters that make you wonder if the casting director was on a caffeine overload. The narrative is a hotchpotch of elements that don’t quite come together, making the whole experience a bit exhausting. 🤯
The performances are a mixed bag. Sushant tries to salvage the sinking ship with his earnest portrayal of Pintu, while Jaanyaa Joshi manages to add a dash of charm. Ganesh Acharya’s over-the-top antics are a bit too much to handle, and Vijay Raaz’s perfect Malwi accent is one of the few saving graces. 👏👎
‘Pintu Ki Pappi’, with its wacky premise and a handful of genuinely amusing scenes, tries to soar but ends up crash-landing due to its cluttered storytelling and overplayed characters. But hey, at least the cinematography was decent, right? 🎥
Rani’s Rib-Tickling Round-Up:
In the end, ‘Pintu Ki Pappi’ feels like a half-baked comic soufflé that didn’t quite rise to the occasion. If you’re planning to watch it, don’t forget to carry your migraine pills. You’ll need them! 😅💊
Until next time, this is Review Rani, signing off with a wink and a laugh. Stay tuned for more brutally honest Bollywood reviews. Tata! 😂👋
