Rating: 3/5

 

Umesh Shukla’s latest venture in the comedy genre is an unusual blend of loud and subtle humour. He is mainly known for his 2012 hit OMG: Oh My God, which was a commendable effort.  Shukla’s latest revolves around a family of misfits trying to hide some secrets from an NRI suitor and his family as they want their daughter to get married to the rich guy resulting in a series of comical twists and turns.

A playful and charming film Aankh Micholi plays around with the idea for almost two and a half hours, but it never seems boring or overdone; it balances the comedy and drama almost perfectly. It is both slapstick and subtle at the same time; it throws at you every joke writer Jitendra Parmar can possibly conceive and it rarely stops even to catch a breath. It has over-the-top situations along with humour you find in daily life.

The performances are what elevate this film starting from Paresh Rawal Sharman Joshi, Abhishek Banerjee, Divya Dutta, and most importantly, the person who steals the show, Vijay Raaz, who is simply hilarious. Mrunal Thakur and Abhimanyu Dasani have zero chemistry but give decent performances. Darshan Jariwala and Grusha Kapoor ably support the cast.

A fun film to watch with your family on a lazy Sunday.
