REVIEW :
Situated in Lucknow, the 100-year-old manor Fatima Mahal is wrecked and near ruination, and home to numerous families who pay a measly lease going from 30-70 rupees. However, there is only one 'bug' who neither leaves nor pays the lease on schedule—Baankey. Of the relative multitude of individuals who are burnt out on his go-to pardon, "Principle gareeb hoon," Mirza is the angriest of all. This 78-year-old maltreatment heaving, trick pulling man harbors just one dream for what seems like forever, that of turning into the legitimate proprietor of the house he profoundly loves and resides in. Also, every now and then, he gadgets conspiring methods of accomplishing his unfulfilled longing. At the point when all else neglects to get the chakki-offering Baankey to leave after he breaks the block facade of the normal latrine, a heaving puffing Mirza surges off to the police headquarters to resolve the seething question.
In comes the official of Archeological Survey of India (Lucknow Circle), Mr. Gyanesh Mishra (Vijay Raaz). This scheming harasser of a community worker detects that the frail haveli can possibly turn into a public legacy property (or perhaps not) and persuades Baankey how this arrangement will turn out best for himself and different occupants. In any case, Mirza is no bonehead and rushes to dispatch his own clear-cut advantage, Christopher Clark (Brijendra Kala). Clark as it were "communicates in English at home" and gloats of a collection committed to settling property misfortunes. The chateau is currently anarchy represented and everybody's craving after a certain something or the other. For what reason is this rambling, maturing piece of property more significant than the individuals who occupy it? Shoojit Sircar's 'Gulabo Sitabo' is a social editorial, a parody on the mind of humankind and how when voracity fills in as a directing power in your life — it can take you to bizarre spots.
Juhi Chaturvedi (likewise credited for the exchanges and screenplay) has written a story that is keen, clever, with characters that are eccentric and entertainingly dull, as well. For one's purposes, Mirza is driven by unconquerable insatiability and has positively no misgivings about it. Indeed, Mirza's miserliness is known across the length and expansiveness of Lucknow. Baankey is a poor, youthful chap hindered by family obligations (with a mother and three sisters to battle for, who are a small bunch) and he, as well, does all that he can to set up a battle with Mirza's irritating ways. Another curve is the odd matching of Mirza and Fatima Begum (Farrukh Jaffar), who are 15 years separated: a marriage that has its own peculiar origin story.
Chief Shoojit Sircar portrayed his most recent contribution as a parody, the motivation for the title comes from the two manikins that show up at intermittent spans – Gulabo and Sitabo – who appear to be continually in constant conflict. The film utilizes similitudes for a straightforward portrayal of the class qualification among haves and the less wealthy in our general public, among other subtexts. Test this: when Baankey's previous sweetheart Fauzia visits his shop to purchase 'natural wheat' and expects that he should have never at any point heard the term natural 'kyunki dekh ke nahin lagta'. Or on the other hand that one time when Baankey's sisters – Guddo (Shristi Shrivastava), Neetu and Payal – take an agree at him for being uninformed and energetically request he returns for tenth and twelfth load up tests. Eagerness and crave material belongings are constantly trailed by rout and forlornness. What's more, Shoojit Sircar sure realizes how to weave in these components with nuance, while as yet driving home the point, through his movies.
Amitabh Bachchan claims the job of the irritable, canny yet funny Mirza with outright solace. Nonsense tone? Unattractive nose prosthetic? Don't sweat it, the entertainer's 'Mirzaness' is all around the film – with his thick facial hair, significantly thicker glasses, squatted shoulders and a limp in his walk. He sinks into the person and each feature of it. Furthermore, gazing him in the eyeball is his very-abled enemy Ayushmann Khurrana as Baankey. Its a well known fact that Ayushmann has now turned into the perfect example of heartland India, and by and by he brings a genuinely new thing to the table. His non-verbal communication obviously depicts trouble and sharpness borne out of destitution. Curiously, it isn't the thing he is saying that summons feel sorry for, yet the characters around him who cut him down and cause us to feel frustrated about his conditions.
Srishti Shrivastava's Guddo, one of Baankey's three sisters, is a man-eater (not in the strict sense), who has the impulses of an in-your-face survivor and is an unmistakable difference to her sibling's hesitant character. Srishti, who has hung out in her past trips on web shows, intrigues here as well. Vijay Raaz and Brijendra Kala are humorous, sharp and supplement the main characters' easily.
Three-time National Award victor Abhik Mukhopadhyay assumes responsibility behind the camera, with pretty much every other edge smelling of Lucknow's old-world appeal – its rotting however lovely houses, tuk-tuks and cycle carts stumbling into the tight paths of the city. His camera says to you as it takes you through the city, 'Muskuraiye ki aap Lucknow mein hain'.
Shantanu Moitra's unique score acquires some pats on the back for its peculiar tunes that accompany profound, significant and legit verses by Dinesh Pant, Puneet Sharma and Vinod Dubey. Our pick: Kya Leke Aayo Jagme and Budhau.
While the film excels on many fronts and one of the features being simply the reason, the development burns-through a decent amount of the film, making it a smidgen draggy toward the beginning. Fatima Begum, who we later adapt likewise passes by the moniker Fatto, is funny as an independent, however her person isn't all around chalked out. She is no less whacky than most of them, and even while she is by all accounts in her zone and unmindful of what's going on around her, this 95-year-old realizes more than you would expect. Be that as it may, the story invests little energy in scenes among Mirza and Fatima, and it would have been intriguing to see more discussions and exchange work out among them. In Bollywood, we don't see such a large number of keenly made parodies yet this one explores that sort with propriety and expertise, with a peak that is astonishing, dim and humourous.
Shoojit Sircar's 'Gulabo Sitabo' filters out one of the seven lethal sins, eagerness, as its focal topic and tells an engaging story through two pugnacious yet unyielding characters. The message is short and basic: that it's OK to want a great deal in life yet outrageous insatiability regularly doesn't land you in the ideal spot — regardless of whether it's an individual's heart, house or mahal.
