Critic Review
Ekkees Toppon Ki Salaami (2014)The film starts off with the extremely sincere BMC employee Purushotam Narayan Joshi (Anupam Kher), who works as a fog machine operator. While his eldest son Shekhar Joshi (Manu Rishi Chadha) works as a small time employee in the BMC, his younger son Subhash Joshi (Divyendu Sharma) works for a leading politician, much against the wishes of his father. The sons don't share the best relationship with their father, as he is a very honest man, while the boys are practical and money minded. While others prepare for their usual day at work, Joshi gets all prepared for his Retirement Day. Just a day prior to his retirement, like his daily routine, Joshi goes to the fog supervisor in order to surrender his fog machine. Since the supervisor is 'busy' watching an adult video on the internet, he casually tells Joshi to leave the machine behind and that he will do the necessary formalities. Even though Joshi is a bit reluctant to do so, he ultimately gives in to the supervisor's instructions and leaves the fog machine with him, without making an entry for that day. The next day Joshi, with a cheerful and content face, enters his office anticipating a big send off party for him. However, the department head accuses him of stealing the foc machine and labels him a theif, rejecting his character certificate and instead putting a case on him. Joshi goes into depression and his health collapses. Just a few minutes before khis death, he has a heated argument with his two sons. In that moment, his youngest son Subhash promises his dying father, that he will be treated to a '21 gun (cannon) salute' at his funeral. Will Subhash actually manage to keep his promise to his dying father and get a '21 gun (cannon) salute' and what difficulties he will face in doing so is what forms the rest of the story. .
Overall, not much was expected out the movie, but it proves to be an entertaining watch. Do watch the film for the unique concept and some excellent performances by the cast!.
Ekkees Toppon Ki Salaami is not a work of genius but is earnest at what it does. Anupam Kher’s performance shines and though the plot has its peaks and lows, the story’s soul wins eventually. You can give it a try because it isn’t cinematic beat but.
Ekkees Toppon ki Salaami is one of those films that you can watch over and over again.
Extraordinarily ordinary and proud of it, Ekkees Toppon ki Salaami reminds us of the important things in life in a highly consumerist world..
