The
highpoint
of
Hrishikesh
Mukherjee's
movies
was
the
simplicity
with
which
he
narrated
the
story
of
ordinary
people.
Soaked
in
humour
with
an
undercurrent
of
emotions,
the
films
made
by
Hrishi-da
are
fresh
to
this
date,
inspiring
the
present-day
film-makers
as
well.
Do
Dooni
Chaar,
directed
by
debutant
Habib
Faisal,
could
easily
pass
off
as
a
Hrishikesh
Mukherjee
film.
A
simple
plot
involving
simpletons
and
straight
out
of
life
situations
makes
this
one
an
extremely
watchable
experience.
The
casting
of
Rishi
and
Neetu
Kapoor
in
pivotal
parts
is,
without
doubt,
the
icing
on
the
cake.
Come
to
think
of
it,
Do
Dooni
Chaar
is
a
complete
contrast
to
what's
being
made
these
days.
It's
far
from
glossy,
the
setting
is
a
middle
class
house
in
a
tiny
colony
of
Delhi,
the
characters
are
far
from
classy,
the
problems
are
very,
very
real
and
yes,
there's
a
message
towards
the
final
moments
of
the
film.
But
it's
these
factors
that
make
Do
Dooni
Chaar
a
notch
above
the
commonplace.
Most
importantly,
this
film
has
soul,
which
most
films
lack
these
days.
Final
word?
The
life
of
the
ordinary
is
presented
most
extra-ordinarily
here.
Do
Dooni
Chaar
is
a
little
gem
that
should
not
be
missed!
Life
can
be
tough
for
a
man
who
teaches
at
a
school
for
a
living,
lives
in
a
tiny
flat
in
Delhi
and
is
coping
with
the
double
digit
inflation
rates
and
single
digit
increments
in
his
salary.
Add
to
that,
a
teenage
daughter,
a
fast-track
son
and
a
wife
who
loves
the
good
life.
The
life
of
the
Duggals
is
passing
by
in
simply
taking
care
of
the
basics.
Until
one
day,
they
decide
to
dream.
Their
ticket
to
dreaming
comes
in
the
form
of
a
wedding
invitation.
What
follows
is
a
journey
of
chaos,
realizations,
calculations,
confrontations
and
bonding.
This
crazy
Duggals
will
fight
it
out
at
home
(and
the
neighborhood)
for
what
they
think
is
a
'good
buy'
for
the
family:
a
four-wheeler.
Do
Dooni
Chaar
works
for
a
number
of
reasons,
the
prime
reason
being
its
tight
and
interesting
script
which
abounds
in
real-life
situations
that
have
been
presented
with
utmost
conviction.
Desperately
wanting
to
possess
a
four-wheeler,
the
story
unfolds
beautifully
and
the
characters,
each
of
them,
only
enhance
the
impact.
Even
the
individual
stories
of
the
two
kids
are
wonderfully
presented.
Any
hiccups?
No
really,
but
the
pre-climax
tends
to
get
unbelievable
when
the
free
for
all
takes
place
in
a
fast
food
joint
and
the
chase
that
ensues.
However,
the
conclusion
carries
a
strong
message,
which
registers
a
strong
impact.
Habib
Faisal
is
a
director
to
watch.
His
writing
is
the
highpoint
and
his
handling
of
the
subject
is
top
notch.
He
has
executed
the
light
moments
as
well
as
subtle
emotions
amazingly
well.
The
songs
are
smartly
placed
in
the
narrative,
with
the
title
track
topping
the
list.
Rishi
Kapoor
is
the
lifeline
of
the
film,
he
delivers
a
sparkling
performance.
The
veteran
has
delivered
incredible
performances
in
the
past
and
his
work
in
Do
Dooni
Chaar
is
at
par
with
those
terrific
portrayals.
Neetu
Kapoor
is
admirable.
A
complete
natural,
she
adds
so
much
to
a
scene,
which
otherwise
would've
fallen
flat
had
a
lesser
actor
been
cast
in
that
role.
More
than
anything
else,
it's
an
experience
watching
this
real-life
jodi
together
after
a
hiatus.
The
two
kids
-
Archit
and
Aditi
-
are
excellent
in
their
respective
roles.
Akhilendra
Mishra
is
first-rate.
Supriya
Shukla
is
fantastic.
On
the
whole,
Do
Dooni
Chaar
is
a
delight
to
watch.
Just
don't
miss
this
one!
