Saat Uchakkey Movie Review
It is not your regular movie. I am at a loss to classify the story or the movie in any specific genre. There is some humor. A lot, if expletives is all you need to laugh. A bit of Romance. A bit of thrill in few scenes. But as a whole, it is a disaster.
Annu Kapoor as Bachchi will capture your attention in the first few minutes, as will the introduction of other characters. But then on, the movie loses steam. We have multiple characters converging toward a unified goal, but the movie fails to build on all the preparation.
The end and Bachchi is left open to interpretation and the after two plus hours, the movie seems meaningless. If you insist on taking something away from the movie, it should be that good deeds will get you what you want and life is what you make of it.
Overall, not a movie you will want to watch with your family. Although it could be a good choice if you want to watch something weird and discuss the ‘art’ of it all.
