Khatta Meetha
Critic reviews and ratings
-
The film is too long and has too much of high-pitched drama, leaving room for too little of the laughter circus.
-
See it for what the film leaves unsaid, though that’s hard to do when everyone is ceaselessly talking.
-
Priyadarshan’s been innovative in making this film and though he’s managed to pull off a large part of this two-and-half-hour film, he has also failed in parts.
-
...projects itself as a witty satire with reference to someone as reputed as Laxman but its uneven mood shift from ironical to intense augmented by cheesy dialogues like 'Keechad mein baithe suwar ki tarah sust kyon ho?' begs you not to be taken seriously.
-
...criminally long, burdened with flat comedy tracks...
-
The direction of Priyadarshan seems to be handicapped by poor writing this time.
-
...if what you expect is an out-an-out comic entertainer, you'll be disappointed.
-
...could well be considered by the Guinness Book of Records for the LOUDEST movie ever made in heaven or earth. Forget mirth, this self-styled comedy pumps up the volume so high that the cacophony could possibly be heard in Patagonia and Perth.
-
...a hotchpotch of too much drama and very little comedy.
-
Priyadarshan fails miserably when it comes to his script, which is outdated and archaic.
-
It's not a full-blown comedy. It's not a full-scale satire either. Hugely disappointing!
-
...isn't sour or sweet. It's simply bland.
-
...lacks wit and sarcasm and by no means can be termed as a political satire. Rather it’s a blatant and full-blown melodramatic tale of corruption that one has witnessed in zillion films before.
-
The comedy is tasteless, and has no direction and the story serves no purpose.
-
It is stuffed with gags, set-ups and stock characters, in a silly, stunted, scattered script which is stitched up rather poorly. The film desperately tries to be funny but just ends up being very tedious.
-
...it is silly, noisy, and repetitive.
-
The jokes, you can tell, have pretty much dried up. No amount of slapstick will wet this pool.
-
...this is cinema at its most tasteless.
-
Neither khatta nor meetha. Calling this kadwa would be an understatement.
-
Ample doses of over-the-top buffoonery and liberal sprinkling of double entendre. One of the most cringe-worthy films from Priyadarshan...
