Director- Priyadarshan

Producer-Akshay Kumar
Music Director-Pritam Chakraborty, Shani

Genre- Satirical drama comedy

‘July 23 Sachin Tichkule promises you a road full of pot holes’ and ‘ ‘July 23 Sachin Tichkule promises you a bumpy ride’, if these lines still seem alien to you, it is the whacky and zinger tagline of Khatta Meetha movie releasing on July 23^rd that has already captured hearts of many with its promos and trailers.

Khatta Meetha is a satirical comedy drama movie revolving around mafia and corruption in the construction business. Even as one cannot help laughing as Sachin escapes from one trouble to fall into another, the film in a light hearted way reveals the level of corruption and crafty ways one have to adopt if they want to survive enjoying the bumpy ride. It also makes it a point to reflect the misuse of government funds by government contractors who are responsible for highway construction and repair in India. It is partly an indication towards the rampant use of fake material so that the contractor keeps making money by fixing the same stretches.

The story also deals with the notorious murder of Bihar PWD engineer Yogendra Pandey in 2009. Makrand Deshpande plays the murdered engineer and Akshay plays his colleague who uncovers the mystery behind his death. The presence of comic stars like Rajpal Yadav and Johnny Lever are the evidence enough to prove the extent the movie will be a complete laughter show, apart from the fact that Akshay Kumar has already shed his stuntman image and emerged as reigning king of comedy.

The actress in this movie, Trisha is famous south Indian actress, Priyadarshan will be launching in Bollywood. This is the first time that a heroine will play an important role in his movie. This makes the role more challenging. She has to play two characters in different time periods.

Just to set the record straight, like all other Priyadarshan movies this is also taken from a south Indian movie. Khatta Meetha is a remake of the 1989 hit Malayalam movie, Vellanakalude Nadu, directed by him only. Its movie cast was a famous Malayalam movie pair Mohanlal and Shobana.

In one line this movie appears to be promising and is at its hilarious best one should look out for.

Out of all the hinglish movies that have been made so far let us talk about ones have topped the charts.

Bend it Like Bekham

It is the story of a young girl from a middle class Punjabi family, settled in London, desperate to make a career in soccer because she is a huge fan of Bechkam; while her mother freaks out at the very name of the game. Catchy Punjabi-Hindi-English dialogues were a quick hit with everyone.

Though high on comedy, the story is also about making dreams come true.

Slumdog Millionaire

With the Slumdog Millionaire, the category of hinglish film making achieved to new heights. Director Danny Boyle`s story of 3 slum kids received red carpet treatment worldwide. Tight plot and breathtaking cinematography are the star points of this flick.

Amritsar to LA

Based on the classic novel, Pride and Prejudice, the movie is a visual delight. The story travels from Amritsar to Britain and then to America. Directed by Gurinder Chadda, the movie tells story of a family living in Amritsar and having four daughters of marriageable age. It is a musical family drama.

Monsoon Wedding

There has been no better depiction of a modern day Indian wedding as done in the Monsoon Wedding. Apart from the fact that relatives come together to attend a wedding in the month of monsoon, the movie touches sensitive issues like sexual abuse in the family.

Being Cyrus

It is a very serious comedy. The movie is a 90 minute tightly packed story of complications in a Parsi family. The Saif Ali Khan, Boman Irani, Naseeruddin Shah and Dimple Kapadia starrer is a must watch.

Mitr, My Friend

It is a warm hearted tale of a middle- aged woman, her daughter and her husband. Starring Nasir Abdullan and Shobana, the movie is sure to strike cord with every couple, every mother and every daughter.

Mississippi Masala

It has interracial romance, comedy and drama- all elements of masala movie. So, I guess the name is justified. Extensive research by the director Mira Nair is visible in the movie.

Bollywood Hollywood

It was a hit in 2002 even though the story, with few changes, could have been made into a typical Bollywood film. But it falls well into the category of Hinglish movies because the story is based in Toronto and is about an Indo-Canadian family.

Bombay Boys

Made in 1998, this is unique film that tells story of three young men from different backgrounds and having different reasons to come to Mumbai. They meet each other for the first time at Mumbai airport and decide to take a place to live together. But soon things go out of control in the big city and they are in a mess.

Hyderabad Blues

Another movie that came out in 1998 was Hyderabad Blues. A sensitive movie which tells story of Varun Naidu (Nagesh Kukunoor), a young NRI who comes back to Hyderabad, his hometown, after 12 years and finds himself being treated like a foreigner.

I also like their ad-free player, they only include ads in the sidebar and not as a video overlay. Moroever, the quality is definitely much better than what you get on other ‘generic video sites’.

Do you know any sites to watch Hindi movies online? It’s good to see that some filmmakers are thinking of launching their movies on Youtube, I just wish they will have better quality. Something that’s not as heavy has HD but is better than their normal quality.

What’s your favorite site to watch films online? What kind of quality do you prefer? I believe HD is overrated because most monitors can’t render the quality anyway.

Kaminey & Alladin tentatively on August 14, major biggies like Blue (an under water extravaganza), Mai aur Mrs Khanna, Shortcut,  Jashn, Luck and Agey se rite are in the pipeline. Box office will be buzzing from the back to back releases. Lets see if these movies are able to feed the much starved Hindi movie buffs!

1. Singh is Kinng: We have to admit it. No matter it starred Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif, the film had less sense than any movie of the year. The script was a well-washed desi version of a stereotypical villager and the storyline had no story whatsoever. Still, it managed to make more than 100 crores at the box office!
2. Sarkar Raj: Add the glamour of the Bachchan family and the controversial name of Ram  Gopal Verma to a film and you have a sure-fire winner – even if the movie is nothing but a bag of dust. Sarkar Raj earned 85% of its invested money in the first week itself in spite of getting mixed reviews and a fluctuating screen presence.
3. Tara Rum Pum: A sadly-distressed Indian remake of the Tom Cruise starring Days of Thunder, Tara Rum Pum had nothing more than a copied story, some vaguely romantic songs and a depressed aura. Still it somehow covered more than just profits at the box office.
4. Saawariya: Talk about hype and over indulgence and Saawariya comes to mind. The film launched Ranbir and Sonam Kapoor but failed to impress the audience with its gloomy and electric blue reels. But because it was a Sanjay Leela Bhansali film (the man who made Black), it could earn at the box office.
5. Jhoom Barabar Jhoom: It is difficult to believe to that the man behind blockbusters such as Saathiya and Bunty aur Bubli could make such a trashy piece. We have Amitabh Bachchan humouring the audience over styled and near-clownish costumes, a senseless storyline and an earner at the Box office. It is time that Bollywood changed the rules of measuring a film’s success.
