Audience Member In today's world its hare who wins and tortoise just stands out to see.. Simple story telling light hearted comedy, this movie will surely will leave you thinking. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member A delightful comedy revolving around the inhabitants of poor apartment building. Everyone is close to eachother. And respects eachother. Our main character - Rajaram is a shy, well-mannered man who is in love with a pretty young girl named Sandhya yet he does not have the courage to tell her his feelings. In comes an old friend named Bashudev from college - whom he hasn't seen in years. He is the total opposite of Rajaram. He is bold, outspoken and a total charmer. He can get anything he wants just by using his charm. Soon enough Bashu's true colors start to show. He is not what he seems. A true con artist. The rest of the film deals with the different ways Bashu creates havoc for his friend and how Rajaram finally resolves it. The comedy in the film comes from dialogue's and character interactions. Its not slapstick or over the top - which I loved. It's the way the character's say things that just makes it all so funny.Theres no 'big' moments in the film. It's a simple film. Its a honest, heartfelt portrait of a close-knit community. The performances are all excellent. The ending is predictable but sweet. Overall, I could watch this charming little film over and over. I simply love it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member no matter how old are you. its a classic and a must watch Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the Best Hindi movies ever.
