Fun movie; Punjabi gusto on display; Great acting by Huma Qureshi; Interesting story about putting love in your cooking
24 September 2019
This is a light, happy, seemingly genuine and amusing story plucked out of everyday Punjabi family nuttiness. The story is based in UK and Punjab. The hero is forced to return to India after 10 years and is trying to wriggle out of an impossible debt to some UK Punjabi baddies.

The language is specified as Hindi but there are plenty of Punjabi words everywhere, giving it an authentic Punjabi dehat (rural) flavour without overdoing it. And, there is a lot of Punjabi food. The actors seem truly Punjabi too, except Rajesh Sharma (as Titu mama) who seemed out of place with his looks.

Rahul Bagga (as Jeet) (also seen in the 2010 TV serial, Powder), Vicky Kaushal the film actor, in a small flash - back role, and Vinod Nagpal (as Darji, with the long noisy farts, who is a veteran of the 1985 TV serial Hum Log, movies like Khosla Ka Ghosla!, Pink, Jolly LLB 2, and many other appearances), were a delight to watch. Kunal Kapoor (as Omi Khurana) and the hero, was not impressive.

Huma Qureshi (as Harman) has acted outstandingly well...she is the star of the movie. Her every scene and frame has been done with consummate skill. She was a treat to watch. She was the wow element and made the movie worthwhile to quite an extend.

The mourning scene (and the get together) was very well done.

The film poster is lovely....colourful and expressive.

Also good were the background Punjabi rap songs.

The name given to the movie was very apt....the very words tickle and pique your curiosity.

A nice story and a fun movie over all...don't miss it!
