Have
you ever gone to a theatre and slept off?
Have you ever thought of leaving the theatre
half way into the movie due to the predictability
of the movie? Have you ever thought of
how it would be to take the 80’s
Hrishikesh Mukharjee style and mix it
with 90’s DDLJ style and presenting
it in this new decade? I hope you all
would have understood where I am heading.
A gossiping housewife who tries to find
answers to all her questions with a flip
coin which has Ganesh and Lakshmi impressions
on either side, a girl who can’t
talk against her sister even when her
life is at stake, an engineering student
who never goes to college (ok, that we
can waive off), a young man who wants
to get back his love by winning the family’s
trust and not by force. Sounds interesting?
Wait! Doesn’t this sound familiar
too? Well, ‘Toh Baat Pakki’
is a movie which is not going to change
the face of the industry but it’s
harmless with an uncanny resemblance to
last month’s ‘Dulha Mil Gaya’.

The story is about Rajeshwari (Tabu), a talkative
housewife of Surinder (Ayub Khan) who wants to marry
off her sister, the innocent Nisha (Uvika) to a decent
guy. Rajeshwari meets Rahul (Sharman) an engineering
student, and impressed by him decides to marry off
Nisha to him. But when she meets Yuvraj Saxena (Vatsal
Sheth) a settled rich boy, Rajeshwari decides to switch
the Dulha. Again there is one more problem - Nisha
and Rahul have fallen in love with each other. Rahul
decides to play the nice guy and try to win her over
without affecting the family reputation of Rajeshwari
and Yuvraj Saxena. And obviously he does, but how?
Well no points for guessing the predictable pranks.
Kedar Shinde, the director of the movie has a bright
future. His direction is good but real shame that
he had selected this script to be his first Hindi
movie. The scene in which Sharman teaches Tabu’s
Son about Solar eclipse is a very cute scene and there
are loads of such instances. The conflict in the movie
was so trivial that it could have been sorted if everyone
sat down and conversed.
Technically the movie is below average, with a cinematography
which had nothing new to offer, in fact it was outdated.
The color scheme was not consistent and a half done
editing plus the 80s musical score by Pritam, which
was a real bore.
Acting wise, Tabu and Sharman both share the honors
with an enthusiastic performance. Tabu looks weak
and tired but acting wise she still got the fire in
her to impress one and all. Sharman, fresh from his
3 Idiots super success, has given an energetic performance.
Uvika looks ravishing but should definitely work on
her acting. Ayub Khan is good. Vatsal and the rest
of the cast have also done a decent job.
Overall a movie which is not a bad movie at all -
but definitely not a movie which had to be made.
Verdict:
Watch if you are a Tabu / Sharman Fan
