Directed by : Habib Faisal.
Starring : Rishi Kapoor, Neetu Singh.
After 30 yrs. of self imposed exile, one of the most romantic couple of the indian cinema decided to do a film together again and how. Do Dooni Chaar is a simple movie about a maths teacher, Mr. Duggal (Rishi Kapoor) his wife Mrs. Duggal (Neetu Kapoor) and their 2 children, the tomboyish college going daughter and the school going son. The imperfect great indian middle class.
The always aspiring for more, children. A mother, who holds the house together, working day and night, thanklessly and keeping a tab on every single penny being spent. A father, who works his ass off to provide for his family and more. This is something we all can identify with. Its our story, the everyday grind of life. Some dreams, some hope and lots of heart burn.
Duggals own a 2 room house and a 2 wheeler a dilapidated fridge and a TV which continuously blares either real life stings performed by TV journalists or some sappy daily soap. Their tiny lil bubble of life gets unstable with the arrival of a wedding invitation from Mr. Duggal's sisters' family and the condition put down by his sister that they should only come in a car.
Ah, the pressures of a fixed salary household. Every little penny is accounted for. Every single bonus is waited upon. A somewhat harrassed Mr. duggal decides that enough is enough and he will have a car for his family by hook or by crook. And So starts a series of events which will make you laugh with a lump in your throat. By the end of it you will have a warm feeling about it all. This is a movie that makes you feel good about yourself.
Rishi and Neetu fit the role to the T. They carry the whole film on their shoulders and their chemistry is still alive. Aditi Vasudev and Archit Krishna as the children of Duggals, shines in their respective roles.
If you ever seen that wonderful gem "Khosla ka ghonsla" and the epic Munnabhai series, you will know what I mean. We need more of this kind of cinema which is very few and far between. Just go for the kill. This movie is not to be missed, irrespective of low budget and botched climax. There are plenty of heart warming scenes to make you feel "paisa vasool". Long live consumerism.
Rating : 7.5/10
