Namrata Joshi Outlook Sadly, the filmmaker doesn't try and recreate Mumbai as a hyper-real entity. Once Chutki arrives in the big city, reality steps into the cinematic frame and with it so do the cliches about it... Rated: 2/4 Jan 4, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Chutki is a young girl who has aspirations to become an actress and find fame as a leading lady in Bollywood films. She'll go to any lengths to make that dream a reality, including traveling to the filmmaking capital itself -- Bollywood. But will Chutki end up like so many other actresses that harbored the same dream? Stars Antra Mali and Rajpal Yadav. likable movie. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member This Movie is one of those Movies I d say it can be watched only once but you ll never forget the message. It is a neat Movie. Everyone of us has a Dream and if you have faith enough in your Dreams <i>(so far they are not wacko sort of, you know like Seriel Killing becomes legal etc..) </i>lol they will come true. It is a very simple Movie with a huge Message. As a fan of Madhuri Dixit, I thought to give it a try. NOT THAT I WANT TO BE MADHURI. lol I was very surpised it was not one of those these days Bollywood imitating HOLLYWOOD Movies. It was very simple and very nice made. It also shows how far sometimes you have to go to fullfil your Dreams. The opening was really nice with Ek Do Teen. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Day: Friday Date: 20 Feb 2004 Time: 9.45pm With: Dad, Mom, Azeem On: Cable Name: MAIN MADHURI DIXIT BANNA CHAHTI HOON Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member (I originally posted this 11/8/2004 on imdb.com): Terrific movie! And completely unexpected with unforgettable performances from Antara Mali and Rajpal Yadav. People do not give Antara Mali enough credit and type cast her as a wanna be Urmila Matondkar and Toy of Ram Gopal Varma. I've not seen her latest offerings yet (Nach and Gayab), however, she did her homework for this role of an innocent and naive village girl with huge aspirations and pulled it off perfectly. Not to mention, she does a terrific Madhuri Dixit! I'm sure Mrs. Nene herself would approve In the meantime, Rajpal Yadav brings a character to life that the audience can not help but identify with and root for. You really wish that his lovable underdog will get the girl! The cutesy chemistry of the two is enough to recommend this movie. Add to this a refreshingly original storyline and Ram Gopal Varma's slick and tight style of film making, and you have a cute, feel good, and surprisingly fun movie to watch. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member This is lots of fun! I enjoyed the contrast between village life and Bombay's one. The acting is excellent, and no wonder it is not a popular movie hehehe it is not for those who want to believe in Bollywood as the pink cloud hehehe Great time pass, very enjoyable movie. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member i agree with roupli. it reminds me of rangeela. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Read all reviews
