Come to think of it, people have no right to criticize this cr@p called 'Chashme Baddoor', because you were forewarned by the promos. Anyway, since movies in general are open to reviews, here goes. David Dhawan returns to his domain of 'comedy' but this time with the most ugly looking set of 'actors' (not sure if I can call them that and hence the quotes).
So first he fixes the music coz story is already there to be shamelessly copied in the name of 'remake'. He gets a pretty boy from Pakistan Ali Zafar (only if he cud act as well as he sings). He then gets two other losers who probably said yes the minute they were approached - Siddharth & Divyendu friggin Sharma. Then for the 'lady', he goes for a handsome looking woman (probably trapped in a man's body) some Tapsi Pannu.
Throws in Rishi Kapoor, his tantrums and a svelte Lilette Dubey (age: 100 at last count). Not much needs to be done now. Cinematographer, choreographers, ADs finish the project in record time to release it just months after the 'harr ek friend zaroori hota hai' ad by Airtel.
People go to watch a fun entertainer with double meaning jokes - but what they get along with erotic pun is also an extended, boring over-the-top film that drags on and on about the love life of an undesirable old couple that is being fixed by a bunch of sad looking wannabes. Of course, the Indian audience that has barely been exposed to quality cinema goes to the halls, most losers even end up liking it.
Others go watch it anyway because they have nothing better to do. The film made at budget of around 20 crore ends up with a cool 29 crore in its first week itself and counting. Last heard, David was working on a sequel. With a nasty grin on his face, he writes the first line, "you clueless sad little b@....."
