Ekkees Toppon Ki Salaami

This is what happens when a daily soap director makes a 2 hour film. Its one of those films where the more you watch, the more you start to hate it.

The concept was great, the actors were great on paper but the story and the way it was presented makes it utterly unconvincing.

The songs were completely unnecessary.

The characters were stupid.

The story is impossible to believe and full of plot holes.

They couldn't even get the lighting right. Ever seen a chawl so well lit like it has a personal Sun ?

One of the reviews said it the best, Leave your brain at home when you watch it.

How did this get the financing to be made.

The director better stick to daily soaps for the rest of his life.

The plot has a weak base and an even weaker cast. The movie leaves you hanging for the most part and that is where the problem is, This looks like a first time director tried his luck , all hands down a complete waste of your time than money.

Cause money can be bought back , but the time is more valuable.

But if you do not have anything else to do and want to exercise your right to waste the time, fear not there is good news , the 2nd half might make your bring out your emotional side and you might feel you need to get in touch with your family.

Ekkees Toppon is a perfect satire that tickles you pink. The acting is genuine and sincere. Anupam Kher is exceptional as always. The situation of a common man is highlighted well and deserves a special applause. The songs could have been better, i feel. But overall the movie does deliver when it comes to entertainment. The trailer of the movie had reminded me of Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro thanks to the presence of a "moving dead body", but the movie's story is totally different from the cult comedy; the element however is the same - amazing! The direction is also good. The cinematography is decent. The song "Ghoor ghoor ke" is a visually timepass thanks to the concept. Interestingly, Neha Dhupia does a good job.

'Ekkees Toppon Ki Salaami' went unnoticed & bombed at the box-office. But, that sad! 'Ekkees Toppon Ki Salaami' is actually a Well-Intentioned & Well-Acted film, that deserved a much better fate. Not many have this watched nicely done effort, although it deserves to be seen!

'Ekkees Toppon Ki Salaami' follows two brothers and their quest to fulfill their father's last wish, a twenty-one gun salute.

Director Ravindra Gautam deserves kudos for delivering a well-intentioned story, although the Writing doesn't always support him. Rahil Qaazi's Screenplay, though terrific in parts, goes slightly off-balance in its second-hour. The Writing is strong at times & even the dialogue are natural to the core. But, a stronger second-hour, definitely could've made things better!

'Ekkees Toppon Ki Salaami' aces as far its performances are concerned. Anupam Kher is simply brilliant as the honest man, who's put to shame. The veteran actor sinks his teeth into the part & brings it out with flying colors. Divyendu Sharma is very sincere, while Manu Rishi is first-rate. Aditi Sharma is genuinely charming. Neha Dhupia is gloriously over-the-top, but Rajesh Sharma is flawless, yet again. Sudhir Pandey is fantastic.

On the whole, 'Ekkees Toppon Ki Salaami' has its heart at the right place.

Having watched this movie in the comfort of my own home, my anticipation for a satisfying film experience was crushed as the story unfolded. The film's lack of realism and overall quality left me questioning my decision to invest time in it.

The movie attempted to engage its audience with a seemingly intriguing plot, but it quickly devolved into a disappointing mess that failed to hold my attention. The disjointed scenes and lack of narrative coherence left me feeling disconnected from the characters and their struggles, making it difficult to form any emotional attachment throughout the duration of the film.

I was taken aback by the movie's attempt at humor, which fell flat and felt contrived. Instead of genuine wit, the film resorted to juvenile and forced jokes that seemed aimed at appealing to the lowest common denominator. As a viewer who appreciates intelligent and well-crafted humor, I found this approach tiresome and unimpressive.

Additionally, the movie's portrayal of the target audience was nothing short of offensive. The writers seemed to have little respect for the viewers' intelligence, implying that only those with limited brainpower and excessive free time would find enjoyment in this film. Such a dismissive attitude towards the audience is disheartening and serves to alienate rather than engage.

The blame for this cinematic disaster lies squarely on the shoulders of the screenwriter. The lack of coherent storytelling and underdeveloped characters indicate a clear lack of understanding of the craft. It is unfortunate that a potentially promising premise was squandered in the hands of someone who lacked the artistic sensibility to bring it to life.

While it is possible that some viewers might find fleeting enjoyment in mindless entertainment, this movie fails to offer anything of substance or lasting value. I cannot, in good conscience, recommend it to anyone seeking a meaningful and enjoyable cinematic experience.

In conclusion, watching this movie at home did not salvage the disappointment it left me with. Its lack of realism, forced humor, and disrespectful portrayal of the audience make it a regrettable choice for home viewing. Spare yourself the frustration and seek out a film that respects its viewers' intelligence and offers a more fulfilling and worthwhile experience.
