The strength of the film lies in the seamless shifts between the two Sharmas, played by Rishi Kapoor and Paresh Rawal.

Rishi Kapoor is truly namkeen in this film, showing us how it is done, light on his feet, light in his eyes, a will to live. Jeena isi ka naam hai.

Rated: 2.5/5

Sharmaji Namkeen isn’t just a lovely sendoff for Kapoor, it’s essentially a story full of heart and soul, hope and happiness.

It is meant to be "cute." And that is all there is to Sharmaji Namkeen in the end, the film is meant to be “breezy” and "feel good." The more you prod into it, the less sense it makes.

Rated: 2/5
