Uplifting, clean fun at no one's expense
I was recently watching Nakache's "Intouchables" and that reminded me of this one, a story of how one man's appearance changes the dysfunctional dynamics of a large family. I was staggered that this movie has an IMDb weighted average of 4.4 (I see it's actually 8.4; must have made a mistake the day I wrote this review. Apologies). I regard it as one of the best comedy movies I have watched. The film is so successful in what it set out to achieve it appears effortless. Presenting a complex idea in a simple story that provides clean fun at no one's expense, it is an uplifting fantasy that should appeal to a wide range of audience. The actors are almost natural in their roles and do not have to resort to desperate frivolities to elicit a laugh. Similarly, there are no noticeably stylised camera shots that distract from the narrative.
It is not a crude comedy and no one should expect a Johnny Leveresque crassness and that is the strength of this film. This film is fun but it hurts no one in the process and that is a hard act to pull off indeed.

Best movie
The film introduces us to a thoroughly dysfunctional and fragmented joint family a microcosm of domestic chaos where pettiness and squabbles rule the day Their lives are irrevocably changed by the arrival of a mysterious unassuming man who hires himself out as a servant Played with remarkable depth and quiet dignity this central character later remade famously in Hindi cinema as Bawarchi becomes an unexpected catalyst He doesn't lecture or impose rather he subtly weaves himself into the fabric of the household using charm humor and an uncanny ability to understand each members underlying needs
Sinha masterfully navigates the shifts in tone transitioning seamlessly from farcical comedy-derived from the familys incessant bickering-to deeply moving drama as the servant begins to mend their broken relationships Through his quiet efforts the film beautifully illustrates how kindness can dismantle decades of resentment helping the family rebuild the emotional bridges they had long.
Similarities
The story has a similarities with The Bishop's Wife and It's a wonderful life.But the scenario is purely Indian. And the problems solved here are without any miracle.
Did you know
