Pintu Ki Pappi

Is it worth even a review? This movie is worth only negative ratings. I don't know why they make movies like this just for having the time to waste and to bore the audience.

Another copy and the same basic concept without intimate scenes of a Hollywood film Good Luck Chuck (2007), seriously? Bollywood is running out of stories with a population of approximately 1.43 billion. I wonder why?

I was literally bored with the concept of this movie, and while watching, I was just remembering Good Luck Chuck (2007) with a bit of an Indian twist." This movie doesn't scrape the bottom of the barrel. As usual, copy someone else's concept and turn it into Bollywood garbage.

Why waste so much effort and time and copy something that already was introduced 18 years ago? All copies or remakes of the same concept are always a flop and bore the audience. If you haven't watched Good Luck Chuck (2007), that is what I recommend you watch first.

Pintu Ki Pappi (2025) : Movie Review -

Pintu Ki Pappi is definitely among the worst movies I remember lately. It's one of those situations where you think, "Why did they make it?". I have no issue with Ganesh Acharya making a poor film, but this time he has truly sunk so low that it's utterly unforgivable. Shiv Hare's movie challenges your patience and pushes you to such an extreme that you can't help but intensely dislike it. You deserve an Oscar if you can endure this film for two hours without a single headache.

Pintu Ki Pappi is among the most dreadful tales ever penned in Bollywood, where we encounter Pintu (Sushant Thamke) abducting a girlfriend from her honeymoon bed. He feels devastated upon learning that she has wed a wealthy man, and then Pintu relocates to Ujjain for some time. There, he develops feelings for another girl, but she ultimately marries someone else. Pintu understands that anyone who receives his kiss (Pappi) will end up married within a week. His uncle (Ganesh Acharya) exploits Pintu's abilities to establish a marriage bureau and earns a fortune. Pintu subsequently develops feelings for one of his clients, but refrains from kissing her to prevent her from marrying another man. A fresh romance ignites, and now Pintu and his uncle must battle a local giant who is seeking marriage.

The film becomes irritating in the first 30 minutes, when the idea of Pappi is not even introduced. Then we enter the "Pappi zone," which literally drains all sense from the film and gets on your nerves. Simultaneously, you have to endure some cheap abbreviations from Pintu that are too low-grade to be mentioned here. His uncle's phrases are even worse: "Gali ka kutta, na Ghar ka Na Bangkok ka." Yuck, man, who writes such one-liners? And then you have to listen to at least a dozen of them. Imagine allowing someone to attack your mental state for two hours; it's like being in a torture chamber. Even roadside criminals are treated better by the cops in third-degree interrogation than the way this film treats its audience.

Sushant's performance is bad, but how bad? You decide that for yourself; since he is new here, I don't want to be too harsh. If this is how Ganesh Acharya is going to perform as an actor, then I must say he was better off without it. Let's stick to choreography, as that is where you excel; so why be a backbencher in the acting classroom? Jaanyaa Joshi looks beautiful and becomes sexy in the end credit song, but there was no real performance here-maybe next time. Vidhi was another beautiful face, and Puja Banerjee looked hot in a saree during her cameo. Vijay Raaz has completely forgotten his class. Sometimes actors take on projects just for the sake of EMIs; this is that film for Vijay Raaz. Ali Asgar was irritating, and that Kiss Kiss Kissik choreographer Urvashi Chauhan looks hot here too. Pyumori Mehta, Aditi Sanwal, Murali Sharma, and others were equally disappointing here.

"Pintu Ki Pappi" is a low-budget film, so don't expect any lavish set designs or production value. It literally goes to B-grade level and sometimes touches Bhojpuri film standards with its cinematography, editing, and color grading. The songs only add to the deterioration of your experience, and the lyrics are exceptionally poor. One can't really escape the consequences of making a film like this, and Shiv Hare should be blamed for creating "Pintu Ki Pappi." If making a crap film is a crime, then arrest the team behind "Pintu Ki Pappi." And if creating an unbearable and torturous film is a crime, then HANG this film to death. I just need some mental cleansing or a break for the next two hours before I can return to my regular cinematic senses.

RATING - 2/10*
