haathi mere saathi (2021)A randy mahout (Pulkit Samrat) with a lame atonement arc, his contrived attraction towards a communist rebel (Zoya Hussain), a sympathetic journo (Shriya Pilgaonkar), ticking off all the cliches of the profession on reel, are tossed into this unwieldy mix for the purpose of songs and stretching out Haath Meri Saathi’s length to an agonising 161 minutes.
Between bad writing (a character emotionally confesses 'Kachra mujhe bahut pasand hai (I like garbage very much)'), hysterical acting and a shoddy blend of CGI and the real deal, Haathi Mere Saathi completely neglects the message of saving our elephants..
