Nautanki Saala hits bang on to accomplish its target - "To Entertain". Its a light hearted comedy-drama movie which deserves a watch. Director Rohan Sippy has created this movie with a lot of puns right from the movie-name he chose : not only the word "Nautanki" means drama but also the movie is based on a drama-artist (Ayushmann Khurana) who tries to create a real-life drama in order to help his friend ! There are some adorable pun scenes like the angry girlfriend displayed with steam coming out of her ears which actually is a steaming cooker in the background.
The film starts with RP (played by Ayushmann Khurana) meeting up with Mandar Lele( played by Kunal Roy Kapur) who is trying to commit suicide after having a break-up with her girlfriend Nandini Patel( played by Pooja Salvi). RP saves Mandar and against all odds and tries to set Mandar's life back in track by getting him a job at his play and finding Nandini for him. But then, its just a matter of time when the wingman finds himself becoming a pursuant. The all-famous Bollywood drama of Love Triangles reappears.
Though the story is not an unpredictable or an original one (being inspired from french movie "After You"), it does succeed in creating unpredictable comic events. The film duration has been set to two hours which is apt for a simple plot like this one and the movie successfully engages you. Additionally, the movie has some great songs which makes it a pleasant watch. Ayushmann Khurana has performed exceptionally well but Pooja Salve might have been better. The movie has already raked up around 13 crores in the opening weekend and is poised to be a hit or at least a semi-hit.
Do watch this one if you are looking for a two-hour time pass !!
