Review: Khatta Meetha

Verdict: Watch it if you must
"K" Rating: 1.5/5
Watch: DVD


"Khatta Meetha" is a damp affair, its neither Khatta nor Meetha. This is NOT the laugh riot that one has started to expect from Priyadarshan-Akshay. 

With this film Priyadarshan has taken his usual comic brigade of Asrani, Rajpal Yadav, Jonny Lever et al to make a political satire on the sad,convoluted and corrupted  state of Municipality and its contractors. Khatta Meetha starts off in a comic fashion but then takes on a serious turn.The humor seems forced, predictable filled with loud boisterous dialogues. Grated there are some isolated sequenced which are funny and witty. Akshay has once again proved he is a brilliant actor as he solely carries the film on his shoulder. Infact he is the saving grace of the film. Asrani and Rajpal Yadav are noteworthy. 

 From a Trade perspective the movie will recover its money as the film is low budget. Watch it if you must but wait for the DVD to come out.
