Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana - Movie Review
It's probably the first time in Bollywood that a director has taken food as his storyline and come up with such a unique and powerful film! The mixture of an excellent script combined with brilliant performances and some very 'straight out of life' sequences make Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana 'special' and fun to watch.
Any movie made against the backdrop of a Punjabi household is expected to have a lot of 'band baaja' and 'masti', and debutant director Sameer Sharma does not disappoint you one bit! Sharma succeeds in uniting the different characters and instilling loads of humour in it.
Music by Amit Trivedi is different and very offbeat. 'Kikli Kalerdi' and 'Luni Hasi' are the best of the lot. The dialogues are filled with humour and you can't help but laugh your guts out! Camera by Mitesh Mirchandani is excellent as he has captured the lush greenery of Punjab very well.
Story
Omi
Khurana
(Kunal
Kapoor)
has
just
returned
to
his
hometown
in
Punjab
from
London.
Well,
to
be
more
precise,
he
escaped
from
London
to
save
himself
from
a
dangerous
U.K.
gangster
(Munish
Makhija)
to
whom
he
owes
a
lot
of
money
to!
After returning to his hometown, Omi pretends that he is a well-settled lawyer in London. On his return, he finds that his home is no longer the same old home that he left a decade back after stealing money from his doting grandfather, Darji (Vinod Nagpal). Since then, Darji has undergone a lot of change and has also forgotten the secret recipe of 'Chicken Khurana.' The dish had made the Khurana dhaba popular across Punjab.
Harman (Huma Qureshi) is Omi's childhood sweetheart who is all set to marry his cousin, Jeet (Rahul Bagga). Then there is Omi's uncle Titu (Rajesh Sharma) to add to the 'fun and mad world' of the Khuranas!
Join Omi in his madcap adventure as he tries to cover his lies from the world and recover the lost recipe of Chicken Khurana, the only thing that will bring back the lost wealth and pride of the Khuranas!
The script becomes a little sluggish in between. A little more crisper editing could have been done. That is perhaps the only 'minus' in the film!
Performances
Every
actor
stands
out
in
performance.
However,
it
is
Rajesh
Sharma
who
undoubtedly
walks
away
with
the
cake.
What
an
actor,
and
what
a
performance!
Rajesh
has
a
way
of
connecting
with
the
audience
and
bringing
the
house
down
with
his
natural
expression
and
sense
of
humour.
Kunal
Kapoor
is
charming
and
a
very
powerful
actor
too.
Watch
out
for
him!
Another
actor
who
deserves
a
mention
is
Dolly
Ahluwalia
and
Huma
Qureshi.
Both
are
very
natural
and
spontaneous
actors.
Rajendra
Sethi
as
always
is
outstanding.
Vinod
Nagpal
is
good,
but
doesn't
get
too
many
good
lines
to
deliver.
Verdict
Luv
Shuv
Tey
Chicken
Khurana
is
the
ideal
movie
to
watch
this
weekend!
