Khatta Meetha Lacks Strength , Akshhay Flops Again

Priyadarshan-Akshay Kumar combo ‘KHATTA MEETHA‘ did not deliver as to what was promised. KHATTA MEETHA was supposed to be a movie based on a common man’s life. Satire should have been its soul purpose. 
But the movie has disappointed its viewers in a big way. The main points why it said it was Satirical was because it was criticizing government officials for being corrupt and encouraging bribing. The movie lacks story. And so has Priyadarshan’s every other flick.

KHATTA MEETHA is a stuffed movie. Many things have been tried to said in this 2.4 hour movie. Priyadarshan’s comedy is commendable but all its hoots upon delivering a substantial movie has not materialized.
Many scenes are hilarious like the repair-and-paint part, and specially the roller road sequence. The punch lines are great and so is Rajpal Yadav as a government official.
Akshay Kumar is surely looking different and has performed well. His girlfriend in the movie, Urvashi Sharma has acted weird. Being her first film, it is granted. But no excuses for Makrand Deshpandey.
Pritam has directed the music for the film, so at least that is one thing that the audience would want to listen to in the entire movie. Two of the songs have become pretty popular lately including Nana Chi Tang.
The romantic streak is very weak. A flashback part shows Akshay Kumar as in his college time. This is one scene viewers would wish had been chopped off from the movie.
The ending of the movie is very unsatisfactory. And since there was no story, obviously the end could not be made very powerful anyway.
