Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge?

Guest is Pest, that's the way we normally think of when any guest makes a visit to our house. Of course, we might not blurt it out on the face, but director Ashwni Dhir has done a splendid job with his movie Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge. The movie is an ultimate comedy that does not preaches us anything except following our traditions that are long forgotten in the so-called sophisticated society. If you are looking for a movie that should entertain each and every member of your family than Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge is the right one for you.

The plot is very simple and to the point. Puneet (Ajay Devgan) and Munmun (Konkana Sen Sharma) are happily married and they have a son name Ayush. Since Puneet and Munmun are very much busy in their own professional lives they rarely get time to pay attention to other aspects of life like keeping a watch on their son's academic progress or socializing with their relatives. However, their lives change forever when one fine day Lambodar Chacha (Paresh Rawal) knocks up at their door. Like any other Indian couple they do invite Lambodar Chacha but soon the couple decides that they are fed up of Chachaji and would like to make plans to kick him out of the house and from their lives as well, but nothing works the way they want. How Puneet and Munmun finally get rid of Lambodar Chacha is something you should watch on the big screen?

Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge is more of a satire with a good mixture of comedy. The movie has funny dialogues and Ashwni Dhir mixes his punches very well. Most of the funny comments are comic as well as a stingy comment on the kind of culture we are living in. The movie not only compares the urban and rural lifestyle but it also shows a huge contrast between the kind of values we have today and the values of yesteryears. Ashwni Dhir does a fantastic job with the dialogues and screenplay as well. I really liked the way the word Atithi has been described as A-Ti-thi which means Un-timely and Un-expected. Music by Pritam is very average and none of the songs are chartbusters but they blend well when you watch it as a part of the movie because the songs actually pushes the story forward. Cinematography by Aseem Bajaj is good and decent.

On screen performance of Ajay Devgan is very good and the very scene of the movie is something you should not miss because its a laugh riot scene with one of the most comic dialogues I have ever heard in any film. Konkana Sen Sharma does brilliant job as a housewife and an architect who is strangled between handling finicky clients and Lambodar Chacha. However, Paresh Rawal steals the show with his superb acting skills. From the very first scene Paresh Rawal holds the attention of the audience and makes the story go around. Satish Kaushik and Sanjay Mishra have done their role very well as per the plot. In the end, I would like to say that if you enjoyed oldies like Chupke Chupke, Golmaal and other family entertainers than take my word you will surely enjoy this flick.
