Kanjoos makhichoos is a family comedy drama film directed by vipul mehta.
It takes some power of undoing capabilities to write such a rushed and frantic screenplay. The scenes were running so fast as if they had to go to panvel tomorrow. There is no bond established with the parents of jamna to have any sympathy or pain for them, as a result of which when the incident happens, you feel same emotions as you were in the last 5 mins. There is one forced song in the screenplay too, adding more salt to the wounds. The end of the film is just a convenient means to end and not an organic one.
Every actor, every single actor has given extra loud performances, the worst of the lot being shweta tripathi. She is such a talented artist, wasted so terribly here. Kunal kemmu though is decent here, being wasted too. Piyush mishra and alka amin could have done so much better, but were reduced to loud caricatures.
The positive is the commentary on governmental frauds and system rupture. Common men and women are puppets to the archaic institution, and so they can olay with their emotions. The film works best when it tries to be serious, because the comedy is mostly aloof. Its mostly exaggeration and forceful gags.
Its just a decent watch, and nothing else.

Movie starts of on a good note showcasing few interesting characters especially that of Kunal khemu as a miser who loves his parents dearly. We get to see his family consisting of his parents, wife and a child. All the characters are quite interesting.
Even the neighbours have their own mannerisms which lift up even an average scene.
Story is talks about basic values of a middle class people who always try to maintain a balance in order to keep their principles and values intact despite the hard circumstances.
The movie has been dealt with in a very breezy manner although screenplay could have been much better.
Dialogues of the movie are pretty funny and will keep you invested throughout.
One emotional song of the movie is very good and keeps you hooked.
Kunal khemu, Shweta tripathi, Piyush mishra, his wife, kid, bhua and rest of the cast have done a praiseworthy job.
Movie can be watched with the whole family.

What an amazing Starcast and brilliant way of story telling. This movie makes you laugh and cry within a minute.
What a roller coaster of emotions.. Absolutely loved it !
Kunal Khemu has always proved metal of his acting skills, specially his comic timing. Piyush Mishra does complete justice to the role of the father.
Movie gives amazing message on how important parents are in ones life.
A family movie after many years. Complete Family Drama! Good satire on the activities of government agency representatives.
Kunal's character got some similar vibes as in Lootcase. Overall, a complete entertaining film.

This is a decent family entertainer that can be watched with family.
Every single actor give a sincere performance that makes this movie a pleasing and enjoyable watch.
Glad Bollywood is also making movies that shows the common side of the society and how a normal household works without any of the chaos shown on daily soaps regarding the Indian family.
The movie is respectful towards family, parents and at the same time discloses the corruption that happens with middle class people - people taking advantage of other people even in dire situation.
Overall this is a story about a unique topic and a decent one time watch.

I think the movie overall was fairly good. The acting was good and the movie had a great theme to it as well.
More importantly, its a movie I was able to watch with my dadi, and not many movies are appropriate enough for that now days. Therefore, it was nice to see some family oriented movie for a change. If you're looking for something to watch with parents, this is it.
I will say, I was expecting more comedy, but that was on the limited side honestly. It did however turn out to have a good message and end of the day was a good movie to watch. I would recommend everyone watches is at least one time, won't be disappointed.
