    Wonderful!!! A treat to watch

    I am very surprised with the number of negative comments out there for this film..OK it might be a copy of an English film but why can't anybody ignore that and appreciate the amazing performances.

    Vinay Pathak as usual is in superlative form.It amazes me how he picks up the minutest of details for his character.I won't say that it was like a never before seen kind of movie but it definitely was a heart warming one.A simple movie which had special moments of its own..

    One special mention for Lara Dutta.She acted beautifully and was at par with Vinay Pathak in each and every scene.An unusual pairing but that was the plus point of this movie.

    Recommending everyone to watch this film.

    nice movie

    before sitting in cinema hall i was thinking that i am going to watch jab we met part 2, but when i read the cast i got to know that it would be a different movie, because Lara Dutta and Vinay Pathak were together but after watching whole movie i realized i have been cheated this movie is copied from Plain, Train, Automobile. Any way i am not against copied movies because some time director use his own mind to copy scenes,and i like that. so friends, movie is good, time pass, one time watch, but don't confuse yourself with director's idea to show Jaipur and Rajasthan, rajastan is not like that. there are two flaws in movie, first of all jhunjunu is not between Ajmer and Delhi and there in no flyover in behror, even people of rajasthan are damn friendly. now lets talk about the movie, The first half of the movie is quite interesting Mr. Vinay pathak was the best fit for that role m not sure about lara dutta because she was looking aged in that movie, i like her in comedy role not the serious one. the entry of akshay kumar was awesome but the dialogue delivery was just OK, the second half is little boring but when climax is good some how it was not expected climax. so guys go for this movie if you like different movie and please don't watch plain train, automobile before that it will spoil your fun :)

    A descent entertainer from the start till the end.

    This is the first venture of Lara Dutta as a producer (She looks dead- drop gorgeous in the movie).

    The so called road movie is inspired from many English flicks like "Changing Lanes" and many more. So the movie, frankly is not original unlike the last venture of director Dasvidaniya.

    This is a kind of movie which is better to be enjoyed on weekends on DVD players.A good entertainer with its own loop holes (and huge loop holes).

    The best thing about the movie is its star cast.Vinay is witty and Lara is a chick!Cameo by a superstar is good!

    The movie fails to focus on any one track and keeps on struggling to catch your attention. Film starts well but falls flat by the interval and is never picked up.The humor quotient much needed for a road movie is less.

    Editing is poor. Cinematography is brilliant. Nikos Andritsakis has successfully captured spices of Rajasthan and Delhi.

    Challo Dilli never tries to be out of the box or extravagant. The movie remains a descent entertainer from the start till the end.

    Overall an above average movie.

    An engaging road movie

    A banking executive trying to get home in Delhi faces numerous obstacles when her flight gets diverted to Jaipur, including an insufferable companion. All the mishaps in the journey , though a bit overdone at instances, nevertheless entertain; but it brings the simple truths of life in disguise with two contrasting characters, played by Lara Dutta and Vinay Pathak.

    It compares the materialistic life with the simple pleasures of life, which feels simply awesome and provides surprises by the end. The arduous journey taken by the executive in a day and half changes her attitude towards life; so does that of its viewers which in itself a victory of this pleasant non star cast road movie.

    Rating: 2 stars out of 4.

    Definitely not a 10 star movie but VERY VERY ENJOYABLE.

    If ever you're feeling down or you lose faith in humanity, this is the ONE movie I suggest you watch... The rapport between the leads is not your typical "travel together-fall in love in the end" type.

    Vinay Pathak as usual is amazing, Lara Dutta surprisingly gave an awesome performance... Definitely worth watching, I found this gem in 2021 during 2nd lockdown for covid19.

    Honestly though such small movies go criminally unnoticed so in order to level the ratings here Ive given 10 stars... Hope this helps someone like it helped me. 🙏🏼
