Rafoo Chakkar (Comedy)



This one's a comedy that never takes off. Unless you find fine actors like Mita Vashisht and Archana Puran Singh playing 45-year-old brides to twenty-something chokras in order to hang on to their father's fortune. The chopsucky girls are simply in a marriage of convenience and try their best to hold onto their truant dulhas by using their fists, chops and kicks.

Doesn't work, because the aunties deserve better. Maybe, if they had a few funny lines, it might have helped. Or maybe, if the boys did not look as if they had lost their way and landed on the sets, the film would have had a story. But right now, it's time for a Rafoo Chakkar on the part of the viewer.
