Critic Review
Nautanki SaalaRam Parmar is a lead actor "Raavan" in a popular stage play "Raavan Leela", but in real life is a quintessential good guy, whose values echo those of his namesake Lord Ram. One day he meets Mandar Lele, a lonely, helpless, hopeless, distraught, lonely, clingy, misfortunate human equivalent of a natural disaster. Ram Parmar's life will never be the same again, as everything that Mandar Lele does, leads to chaos and misfortune. But, as he gets to know Mandar better, he see's in him a lovable soul with amazing potential and the root cause of his blues being a love gone sour. He decides to track down the women of Mandar's dreams, which ensues a comedy of errors and misadventures..
Like the title suggests, it's all empty theatrics. And wait, the film also has the unique distinction of capturing one of the longest on-screen smooches in a long time.. shot in such excruciating close-up that you might throw up your lunch..
Rohan Sippy’s creation shows so much promise and has several moments (even if most of them are featured in its trailer). But the plot seems better-suited for a sitcom episode. As a film the nautanki stretches for too long, saala..
The film deserves full marks for intention, if not for execution. But give me Nautanki Saala! any day after the merciless assault of Himmatwala and Chashme Baddoor!..
On the whole, NAUTANKI SAALA! is uncontaminated, witty and amusing, offers an interesting premise with plenty of good laughs. A lightweight fare that caters to cineastes with an appetite for contemporary cinema, this movie ought to be on your 'to watch'.
