Sorry, this movie sucks

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

I am rating it a 10 because it is under rated.First of all, it is very funny.Those actors know how to be funny. There were two funny scenes that I had to watch more than once.The father's painting got blackened, and the guy who got all mixed during his two phone conversations. I also laughed hard when the road roller was running backward.The chicken music was also funny when it was used during the bathroom peeking scene.It is amazing that even though the Indian economy is not as good as China's, but their filmmakers are making impressive realistic films about bureaucracy than any Chinese directors can ever make! I am certain that these kinds of things are happening in mainland China right now, bridges collapsing, roads that need to be fixed constantly due to corruption, etc.However, Chinese film directors can never make any films like this one due to communist censorship.This is another film which Chinese directors should all watch, and make one of their own.I Specially Like Trisha in Hindi. She is Awesome Movie is very much realistic, yet interesting Akshay and Trisha worked very well.Slap on System.This is must watch movie.Comedy, romance, politics.I LIKE TRISHA, I LOVE TRISHA!!! :)

I watched Khatta Meetha this weekend. I was totally disappointed. There were too many plots and sub plots. 1. The sister's treatment and death was handled very badly. 2. Akshay's character and his family are supposed to be based in 'satara'. Most of the characters, like his dad, himself and the sister talk in heavy 'punjabi' accent...there was just no authenticity in the movie. 3. When the road roller breaks Trisha's house, beyond that one scene, there was no feeling of despair and a couple of scenes later the house is totally intact, like nothing happened to it.I like Trisha in the Tamil movies, but here she could barely act or emote.Overall a very disappointing flick.

Priyadarshan's 'Khatta Meetha' is a Below Average fare, that suffers from poor writing. It fails to become a satisfactory comic satire in every aspect.'Khatta Meetha' is a yet another flick that goes on to say that 'Honesty' always wins, and 'Dishonesty' doesn't. How the truth still weighs tons more than lies. Been-There-Done-That Stuff! The film begins well, but loses the grip completely after a point. The second hour holds scant appeal, and one gets lazy till it reaches it's culmination. The writing is bland, and as mentioned, fails to become a satisfactory comic satire. Priyadarshan's direction is just about okay.Acting wise, Akshay Kumar does well, but he's repeating himself. Trisha Krishnan doesn't impress. Rajpal Yadav & Makrand Deshpande are very good. Urvashi Sharma is wasted. Kulbhushan Kharbanda is alright. Johnny Lever manages to bring in a few laughs. Manoj Joshi, Milind Gunaji & Jaideep Ahlawat ham. Neeraj Vora gets zero scope.On the whole, A disappointment by all means. Thumbs Down!

After The Release of the movie, all the reviews written for "Khatta Meetha" is far different from this one. This one's a bit introvert but that doesn't mean that this review is better than other ones. Review is a series of sentences in which a critic puts down his emotions & personal thought on the film. This one's also like that. Usually, people go to theaters to watch a Priyadarshan flick only to enjoy to some good comedy(yes comedy, not humor. Humor is "Tere Bin Laden"). And when Akshay Kumar's with Priyadarshan, it always promises hilarious scenes, very funny dialogues & The Entertainment Machine "Akshay Kumar" Himself. This time not only does Akshay Kumar acts in A Priyan Movie but also produces it.Watching the over-humorous promos of "Khatta Meetha", one will run to theaters only to experience bellyache r comedy by The most famous comedians like Akki, Rajpal Yadav , Johnny Lever, Asrani & many Others. But this one's not based on comedy only. Ya, it's not a comic caper. Also you can't believe it to be a satire by watching the video of the song "Bullshit". Then What is Khatta Meetha based on? - Khatta Meetha is a brave and honest attempt on the politics behind road construction and pool projects in our country. But the extraordinary comedy in it will also indicate it as a fultoo comedy movie. So, balancing on the two boats, Khatta Meetha starts it journey and its success surely depends on how viewers will take it as. The Story covers on Sachin Tichkule(Akshay Kumar), A Hard-struggling Road contractor whose dream is to get pool & shopping-mall projects. He also thinks much for his work-force where the most naughty one is Rangeela(Rajpal Yadav). But the work-force being not so skillful & many impious works by Sachin results to his road to success full of pot- holes. Not only that, his college love-interest Gehna Ganphule(Trisha Krishnan) comes to town being the municipal commissioner who's payback with Sachin troubles Sachin more. Also Karodimal(Asrani) is after Sachin for his money and interest. But the main sorrow in his life is when his parents are not beside him, his brother-in-laws Trigun Fatak(Manoj Joshi), Suhas Vichare(Milind Gunaji) & his elder brother Harish always exploit him because professionaly he's a nincompoop. But The Story catches other line when Priyadarshan makes us realize that Sachin's Brother-in-law duo & Harish is terribly involved in dirty politics which has mercy for nothing. From here, the main storyline continues.Usually, Priyadarshan movies only make us laugh too much but this one's very different from his older works because beside making us laugh beating the chair handles, it also shows the shameful politics and the ultra violence and the severity that politics involves. That's why it will be much 'Kadhwa' for many people and hard to digest.Akshay Kumar's always the main attraction and he always keeps the respect for that dignity. His comedy timings, expressions, dialogue throwing and serious acting in some scenes - everything will make the whole cineplex whistle and clap and also beat the cuisines where the audiences are sitting themselves. Which reminds me that this film has some good dialouges which were never before heard and expected in Priyadarshan's Comic Movie Making tradition. Trisha is not bad but it fells that she is underestimated in the whole movie. She would have done better if her role was shown important in the movie. Urvashi, Manoj Joshi, Milind Gunaji, Neeraj Vora, Aruna Irani, Kulbhushan Kharbanda, Makrand Deshpande everyone were fare. But the ones who snatch the eyeballs were Rajpal Yadav, Asrani in their comic best; Johnny Lever as a cameo and Hot Kainaat Arora in the party song of the year "Aila Re Aila".Music Was not so good except the funny satiric "Bullshit" & "Aila Re Aila". The most beautiful song the movie "Sajda" was changed from K.K. to a Roop Kumar Rathore Version. Anyway, It's disappointing Pritam.Now if I come to the negative sides then, This film doesn't contain a straight and particular plot. Many attempts like the Road-Roller scene, Karodimal's house decoration and some more like that will make u laugh in the theaters but returning home, when u will think about the movie the foregoing scenes will feel like unnecessary. This film has many thing to tell in only 160 minute duration. But if you watch the film cool-minded then maybe it will not feel unwell to you otherwise you will be willing for the film to end not taking any more pressure in mind.The final word for "Khatta Meetha" is that if you are a die-hard Akshay or Akshay's comic talent fan, then this one's only for you. Don't Go on its looks or promos, this one's very different than its hilarious promos and has a strong concept in it which could have been used much better. But allover, if you support my views then don't miss this one if you wanna have a good time in the theaters long after "3 Idiots".
