It is clearly difficult to imagine Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Athiya Shetty romancing on the big screen. But nowadays, Bollywood writers have such different stories to offer that we have a movie starring Nawazuddin and Athiya in the lead roles and they are romantically paired opposite each other. Well, we are talking about the film Motichoor Chaknachoor.
The trailer of Motichoor Chaknachoor was hilarious and the film also has many scenes that will make you go rolling on the floor laughing. The movie is about Pushpinder (Nawaz) and Anita (Athiya). Both of them are neighbours in Bhopal and Pushpinder is a Dubai return guy. He is 36 years old and just wants a girl to get married. On the other hand, Anita, a young-carefree girl wants to get married to a guy who is settled in abroad. The two decide to get married and what happens next forms the rest of the story…
The story of Motichoor Chaknachoor is quite interesting; two people, who are thinking that they are finally getting what they want, but the twist in the tale changes everything. The screenplay in the first half is damn good. The movie starts on a funny note and then in the whole first half we are laughing continuously. But that doesn’t happen in the second half. After the interval, the film starts on a very good note and there a couple of scenes that will make you laugh out loud, but as soon as the movie takes a serious turn, it fails to keep us hooked.
However, once again the film gets better in the climax making us laugh once again. Well, we would also like to point out that the movie has a few sexist stuff and in the second half, there are a few scenes that make us wonder if we are watching a movie from the 80s.
Talking about performances, Nawazuddin Siddiqui proves his mettle once again. He is fantastic and his antics will surely make you laugh out loud. But the surprise in the film is Athiya Shetty. From the first scene to the last scene, Athiya is simply WOW! After watching Motichoor Chaknachoor, we can clearly say that she was wasted in her previous two films because of badly written characters. A special mention to Vibha Chibber who plays the role of Nawaz’s mother; she is damn good.
Overall, Motichoor Chaknachoor could have been a better film, but it’s not a bad one as well. It’s a decent-sweet rom-com.
