New Delhi: Today sees the release of Umesh Shukla’s latest film, named Aankh Micholi.

The Indian wedding at its centre provides the backdrop for the humour, drama, and emotional roller coaster that is this family-friendly film’s main attraction. The filmmaker noted in a press conference that the movie is something the whole family can enjoy. Aankh Micholi attempts to revive the comic tone.

Mrunal Thakur, Paresh Rawal, Sharman Joshi, Divya Dutta, Abhimanyu, Abhishek Banerjee, Grusha Kapoor, Darshan Jariwala, and Vijay Raaz are among the film’s numerous stars.

Sachin-Jigar scored the film’s soundtrack. Jitendra Parmar penned the screenplay, while Sony Pictures International Productions, Umesh Shukla, and Ashish Wagh of Merry Go Round Studios produced the film.

Storyline

Each member of the Singh family is afflicted with some kind of illness. However, there is no context provided for their personality traits. Paresh Rawal’s father has amnesia, Mrunal Thakur’s character, Paro, can’t see in the dark, the older brother Yuvraj can’t hear, the second older brother flickers, and Yuvraj’s wife, uses incorrect proverbs. The Singhs want to marry off Paro as soon as possible, so they open their home to a group of NRIs. Rohit, the possible groom, has an immediate crush on Paro, but the two people have a ‘not-so-cute’ secret.

Reviews

The storyline is completely absurd, but it should come as no surprise. The objective of the film’s director, Umesh Shukla, is for the audience to go to the theatres and take pleasure in the absurd storyline, which is fundamentally a straightforward narrative that is filled with emotion. On paper, this narrative does seem to suit the pattern of a no-brainer well, but where it falls short is in its implementation, which is where the problem resides.

In a comedy of errors with a cast, the only thing that could go wrong is a storyline that is not fully developed. This is what is meant by the term “Aankh Micholi.” It is a badly performed, shoddily edited, and cringe-worthy comedy that has cringe-worthy dialogue.

Mrunal and Abhimanyu don’t have enough chemistry to carry the show. Mrunal, who has delivered some excellent performances before, appears to be missing in sass here. Even Dassani appears uncomfortable and has trouble delivering the jokes.

The same group of performers had provided such superb and seamless efforts in comedies before which are admired even now. The absence of energy in ‘Aankh Micholi’ is mostly due to the actors’ lack of conviction in their roles. The movie was supposed to be out a few years ago. The very act of manufacture makes it seem out of date.

The background soundtrack features a repeating chorus of ‘Aankh Micholi, but only if it was even half as excellent as the original. The soundtrack is as forgettable as the film itself.

Aankh Micholi might seem out of place at a period when comedies are becoming sophisticated in their scripting.

In sum, this is a great film to see if you’re looking to have a good time without seeking any deep meaning.
