Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi

The movie's theme was hinted in the first scene itself. It was always clear that it was going to be the story of the three brothers who would try their best to keep distance from the ladies but would somehow get stuck in the romantic scenarios. This was clearly a good opening for the comedy and the first half of the movie is as satisfying as it could get. Not only does it manage to generate some good laughter but the build up for the plot was also excellent. It was also interesting how the multiple circumstances were connected in order to reach the conclusion. Most of the songs are played in the first half itself and even though almost everytime a random scene suddenly turns into a song sequence, the songs do not seem misplaced by any means. They are all placed in accordance with the characters' situations. The soundtrack of this movie deserves the popularity it has. Almost all songs are catchy and never get old. Classic in true sense.

The quality declines in the second half though. Most of the comedy scenes in the second half either felt outdated or were pretty lame. The movie certainly wasn't as humourous as it felt in the first half. The villains too were one-dimensional and the plot progression too felt ordinary.

What kept this movie from being one time watch was the brilliant characterization of all the main characters. Their motivation and the character development were brilliantly done and their goofiness was really good to watch.
