Kill me, but don't touch this family! This time, Urmi plays a touching modesty. . . ) /i>
I looked at how many reviews I wrote for films with Urmila Matondkar. I watched, read and was horrified. How ancient I am! And how much I have written on her films, all in different years, other reviews I do not remember. And only now, after 10 years (God, how many!), I am summarizing and beating up, debiting and crediting, systematically approaching the turn of the second millennium, and this film with Sanjay Dutt (by the way, I watched many films with Saju Sunilovich this year) is the third or fourth with him only in July. It seems that this movie is not as successful as Ram Gopalovsky's "Escape" with the same Sanju and Urmila, but also quite nothing for fans of the so-called "family" Indian cinema. Where family and values are at the forefront.
The film was declared in the status of "middle" to "failed" (in different sources in different ways) and tells us about an orphan (well, actually he is already an adult child) Sanju, a man with a heart of gold who had to take a criminal path and go to steal. Well, classic script. One day he had to infiltrate a wealthy family, calling himself their distant relative. His goal is to get them money. But he's a really good guy, the only problem he has is he needs to pay back a lot of money to a gangster (Paresh Raval) within a month. Paresh here again plays a frostbitten bandit, as in "Escape". It seems that he from one set just went to another, well, unless the makeup changed a little.
Okay, now about this rich family. The head of the family, Dinanath Choudhary, who is all called Dada-ji (Anjan Srivastava) and his wife Sudha/Dadi-ji (Farida Jalal), have three sons: Dilip (Om Puri), Mahesh (Ashok Saraf) and Satish (Jatin Kanakia). They also have two daughters-in-law, Savita and Ratna, and three grandchildren. Grandsons are ordinary, one handicapped boy. One of the granddaughters, Shivani (our Urmila), a simple innocent girl, the daughter of the eldest son, her mother died at her birth. And so Sanju in this family was engaged in that from a modest girl sculpts a charming doll (well, or a butterfly), in parallel (guess what?), of course, falling in love with what he sculpted.
My personal opinion is that the storyline is pretty mediocre. All this we have seen many times in different variations in various films, Indian or Hollywood. But acting, as it often happens, outweighs everything and makes you swallow even the most mediocre film - so good here Sanjay (by the way, he is here after the haircut, and no more hair left) and Urmi herself. The director, also Sanjay, only Chel, made our Sanja sing, and even with his voice he has problems, takes charisma. The song is a bit like Aye Shivani. . . Good, very good in individual episodes. Urmila, on the other hand, had little basis to show what she was capable of. All that can be said about her is that she is Khoobsurat. But she's really beautiful. So many thighs did not waddle, and so did not bare (yes, they both were not naked), as in “Escape”, on the contrary, there was chastity and modesty itself. I am amazed at how the Indian censorship skipped. Probably, the actors made a promise that they would then star together in something family-chaste-modest, such as this movie.
The rest of the actors were very mediocre, although everyone honestly played well. Take Oma Puri or Farid Jalal. Or even (oh my God!) Johnny Lever. There were attempts on his part to portray quality humor, but they all failed. I probably won’t recommend this movie. Only those who love the main actors.
