Leave your thoughts about Nautanki Saala!.
| Village VoiceSimon AbramsNautanki Saala's creators spend so much time disinterestedly transitioning from one plot point to the next that they only effectively establish the haphazard nature of RP and Nandini's romance. |
| User ReviewJustin JGreat Entertainer, the story and direction was spot on, hilarious situation's and as usual great acting by Ayushman Khurrana |
| User ReviewThegodfathersonIf there is one thing you want this exceptional spring is a hint of spice and tangy romance set in a beautiful theatre where two friends struggle with one girl and play. Nautanki Saala has it all, the breathtaking scenes and the mesmerizing songs make you feel to the beat and make you fell good with this spicy masala romance! I was overwhelmed with joy when I watched the movie on Saturday, the movie took my breath away. The comic scenes and spicy scenes with Ayushman's great songs and acting. Must watch. |
| User ReviewAakash GI thoroughly enjoyed Nautanki Saala !! Take a bow Kunal Roy Kapoor, he is superb ! Ayushmaan carries his excellent form from Vicky Donor !! Great laughs, good fun ! |
| User ReviewSudakshina BAn entertaining Hindi fillum with Ayushmaan Khurana's name all over it! Like his previous film, this one is also all about him and boy is he good!! A funny, frilly, frank story that you can watch without thinking much on a lazy afternoon. :) |
| User ReviewMegha JFirst half is hilarious! Ayushman is an actor to look for..superb acting..Kunal is strictly OK. Second half should have been more crispier...it kind of diluted first half's impact.. |
| User ReviewNaren BIt's a good feel good.. Romantic movie..! This is like "BHEJA FRY" with a romantic touch to it. The backdrop is a typical Mumbai drama house, integrated well into the storyline.! Ayushman grows up as an actor.., and Ramesh sippy does a great job getting the best from all the actors..! Pooja salwi is a treat to watch. Though the ending is obvious, you would still want to see how it wraps up. |
| User ReviewRavishankar NMadar's characterisation was good and well enacted. Main protagonoist's role was also well conceived, crisp narration without much of a drag. |
| User ReviewMirza Mohd Sa simple comedy film with gr8 performances from the lead actors.. |
| User ReviewHassan RIt seems that this movie was intended to depict much more depth than it has managed to convey. Rohan, the director is experimental and kudos to him for that. He has tried to present a 'neither very generic nor very different' storyline with a different concept i.e. by using the element of theatre aka 'nautanki'. Genre of the movie is comedy and this comedy is different from others as it is not primarily dialogue based but situation and expression based. Also somewhere, the director has tried to use the theatre 'nautanki' as the metaphor for the mother of all 'nautankis' i.e. life itself! The movie constantly shifts between these two parallels. Backdrop of the former is modern day 'Ramayana' (most esteemed Hindu epic) and that of the latter is the protagonist trying to heal a suicidal 'stranger turned dependent turned friend' by finding his former love and giving him work so that he attaches some worth to himself. The essence of the story is basically situational misunderstanding. In spite of all his noble intentions and sacrifices, the protagonist is misunderstood by his partner, love and also friend! Reason for the same are age old human errors of - mixing task and emotion, undertaking an activity without giving a thought to its obvious result, trespassing territories etc. Ayushmann, and Kunaal have acted well. Evelyn has some screen presence. The power of modern day theatre could have been presented in a more powerful and enhanced format. Also, the heroines could have been better. Some comedy scenes are really funny and some are original as well. Last but not the least, herein again you miss the element of complete showmanship. Are there no successors of Mr. Subhash Ghai and Late Mr. Yash Chopra? |
