It's not just a film but a philosophy.
I'm going with two out of five for Ekkees Toppon Ki Salaami. Promising but doesn't quite take flight.
Movies with a slice of life are making their way into our film industry easily now. Ekkees Toppon Ki Salaami does not try to impress any section opf the audience but tell its simple yet powerful story, and it does so effectively.
Anupam Kher, who plays dead in this week's release, also played dead in that appalling comedy Rahul Rawail's Buddha Mar Gaya.
EKKEES TOPPON KI SALAAMI is for the common man!
Ekkees Topon Ki Salaami is not a flawless satire. We have seen better. But it still makes for a worthy watch for top notch performances and an interesting story line.
Such fine actors, but an opportunity lost.
Joshi dies and his son standing next to his dead body calls a helpline to enquire where he could buy cannons. Does the comedy work during this tragedy? It doesn't!
Setting a niece example on how to buffon rap good satirical intentions, Nautanki Films and Pen in association with Shikhar Films 'Ekkees Toppon Ki Salami' helmed by first timer Ravindra Gautam ( a known name in small screen) is an exaggerated satire that aims at the common man plight with honest arrows but fails to reach its target (the common audience) as it forgets to 'bow' to the genre completely to make any relevant social commentary.
Divyendu Sharma's political fight to give Anupam Kher his due, is a must watch!
