CHINTU JI: Movie Review

Chintu ji ,the name itself oozes a sweet charm that fills the heart with a ethereal charm that is very refreshing and full of life.

Chintu ji is the pet name of Bollywood actor Rishi Kapoor and portrays him in the lead role.

This film is about the political aspirations of Chintu Ji who wants to make it big in the world of politics .Hadhbahedi’ offers him that perfect opportunity. However chintu ji happens to dislike the people and their lifestyle of this particular village. He harbours deep content for them, which is evident. The residents of Hadhbahedi’ favours chintu ji because they feel he can rightly voice their needs in the government and can redress their grievances which has remained unheard till date.

There is a subplot involving a clandestine relation between the journalist (Priyanshu Chatterjee) and chintu ji’s PR executive (kulraj Randhwa).

The movie has got some very sweet performances by Rishi Kapoor. The comic scenes are well co-coordinated and well sprinkled throughout the length of the movie.

Al the actors are very good in their own respective field, though the track of Priyanshu chatterjee with the terror act could have been avoided.

The film risk degenerating into a classical Bollywood melodrama, but is saved that disgrace by its superb comic timing, originality of script and some great performances.
