Khatta Meetha

A couple of things stop this from being a good Priyan movie. It is criminally long, burdened with flat comedy tracks as faulty as Sachin Tichkule's roads.

[Khatta] is a muddled Bollywood attempt at satire on the hardships faced by the common man in order to progress in modern India.

The ill-fitting elements play like mismatching jigsaw pieces.

The jokes, you can tell, have pretty much dried up. No amount of slapstick will wet this pool.

The actors and their characters are funny but too one-dimensional and obvious like the digitally-created elephant in this movie. But it's still a Priyadarshan film - incredible as usual with even a few deaths thrown in.

This is not just a bad film; it is two bad films for the price of one.
