"Batti Gul Meter Chalu"
A movie which revolves around the burning issues that people face with electricity and fraud bills generated in India. A topic which mostly every common man faces - be it rural or urban areas. We all know how much we hate getting into such matters, don't we? Director 'Shree Narayan Singh', comes with the success of 'Toilet - Ek Prem Katha' which also highlighted the issue of the use of Toilets in India to deliver another satirical film on electricity fraud and corruption present in India.
Batti Gul Meter Chalu Review |
After the success of Padmavat, Shahid Kapoor ("SK") delivers great performance as a hypocrite, mean lawyer making money from out of court settlements in the first half and as honest lawyer with a mission in the second half. His character transformation is truely commendable and Shahid does it with ease. Shraddha Kapoor ("Nauti") plays a small town girl and as aspiring fashion designer. She also delivers her role with ease with nothing much to showcase.
Review on Batti Gul Meter Chalu |
Divyendu Sharma ("Tripathi") plays a small business owner with a weak heart and troubled with high electricity bills for his company. As his previous roles, he delivers his role with ease and perfection. Yami Gautam ("Gulnaar"), plays a defending lawyer, who comes in the later second half but has got nothing much to do due to the narrative. Finally, the courtroom drama is good but not effective highlighting only on SK with no strong defense with the accused which makes it one-sided. There are some hilarious dialogues between SK and Yami which will make you laugh.
A good and sensitive topic which could have been explored more and executed in a very fine way but due to long run time of the movie, it gets boring. On the whole BGMC, starts off with slow pace at the start but picks up in the second half and ends normally without effect. The movie is a surely 'one time watch' with superb direction and Shahid Kapoor's acting.
