Lack of good storyline.

A different way of telling a story

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Now with the trend of remaking old films, after Sajid Khan remade Himmatwala and made it the worst film of 2013, David Dhawan did with Chashme Badhoor which is a remake of the same title film of 1981 which was a classic. David Dhawan borrows some incidents from that film and adds his own modern take which is welcome but here the gags barring some many times are overdone in DD style, we have many stupid scenes too, We have added characters like Rishi and Lilette Dubey's roles, the film does make you laugh but comparing it to the original is like comparing David Dhawan to Basu Chaterjee and Hrishikesh MukherjeeDirection is okay Music is good, The hit song Har ek Friend is good while Dhiskyaon is funny rest are okayAli Zafar tries hard to underplay and is okay, Taapsee annoys with her Dumb hai boss repetitively, Divyendru is fab, last seen in Pyaar Ka Punchnama he proves he has talent, Siddharth tends to overact but does well in some scenes Anupam Kher does his usual hamming, Bharti Achrekar is okay, Rishi Kapoor is hilarious though his role is stupid, Lilette Dubey is tyepcast, rest are okay

Poor compared to the previous David Dhawan movies! The movie clearly fails to create an impression among the viewers! As far as humor is concerned, you may watch the movie just for the sake of passing your time.However, it is a decent pass time for light hearted people who can laugh their heart out at least funny situations.The music is quite good. Isn't bad. Not among the best ones, but still is worth hearing.The film also disappoints with its storyline and climax, being very simple and unreal! However, the shayaries acting as a lifeline make the movie a watchable one!

Chashme Baddoor was one of the disappointing film which had good comic timings and hilarious moments but was saddened by weak direction and terrible script.Sid , Jai and Omi are best buddies cum room-mates. Enters Neha, a chirpy, lovable neighbor who just moved into her uncle's house. Womanizers Jai and Omi try their luck to woo the girl but fails miserably. Surprisingly , she gets attracted to the third room-mate. Jai and Omi scheme up idea to split the love-birds so that they can avenge their failure.Directed by veteran David Dhawan , Chashme Baddoor was one of the movie I was looking forward to see this year but was thoroughly disappointed with loud comedy , bothering songs and terrible screenplay. Direction wise David Dhawan is not in form. He chose to remake a classic but made it a complete waste. It is Divyendu Sharma and Siddarth who makes the movie fun-to-watch at times. They are top-rated and gives their best to keep you entertained.Overall , It can be viewed once if you are looking for some entertainment. Best to avoid it. Average 2.5/5

With Bollywood not showing little mercy since 2013 beginning, I took extra courage and hopped in to watch David Dhawan's latest. Well, I am not impressed, but neither am I complaining.Having read Karan Anshuman's review in Mumbai Mirror, I risked it. And whoa, the first half made me laugh. Well, isn't that a shocker nowadays? Siddharth acts buffoonish all over the film with his equivocal character. So is the character of Divyendu Sharma (PKPunchnama was appreciable), but his wit, sarcasm & shayris (short balladry) in short intervals puts him in the limelight. Together, they take a dig on many David Dhawan films, Amitabh Bachchan, Salman Khan & various other Bollywood related strong-points; they are both funny & clichéd. Ali Zafar is total let-down with his character emerging in the second half and still failing to take-off. Newcomer Tapsee Pannu follows every other newcomer and does quite well... what was told to her. But, she will need to put more dumm (power) into her chutzpah if she wishes to stay.Supporting cast is elegant with Rishi K, Lillete D & Anupam K doing great enough to keep the movie going. Songs are powerful but the dialogs are not so happening. Editing is average while the screenplay just pushes it. The plot is simple but the edification is illogical. What could've been done rather easily, Chashme Baddoor lengthens it, but with panache to some extent. The second half is a juxtaposition of many hackneyed thoughts and compared to the first half (more of adult comedy lies here), is too boring & predictable.BOTTOM LINE: You can risk it and have a couple of laughs to lounge this weekend because this year very few movies have come out which are worth watching, but I should remind you that this is tad adult and you may not want to take your family along. Overall, Dumm thoda kum hai boss! 5/10Can be watched with a typical Indian family?
