Ekkees Toppon Ki Salaami

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.

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.

Went to the Theatre with a concept of it being a political Satire with a good ensemble cast....But it turned out to be a satire with no specification on its type ... Ekkees Topon ki salaami is a story of a common man whose last wish was to receive Ekkees Topon ki Salaami after his death....Story is as simple as it can be.....

First let me point out the faults. The way this story moved is totally unrealistic. The First Twenty minute was comprising two songs, and that too in a satire flick..Torture...In the entire movie only one song was relevant and that was Ghoor Ghoor ke....

Now The GOOD points which overlapped the faults , even the unrealistic approach to the topic..Corruption, poverty, politicians thriving on the the common people and siphoning their blood out is a common scenario in this part of the continent...So making a movie out of it is a tricky business, the director must pull out something to make it interesting, and he did that...Every actor in the movie overacted and believe me that was the Major Contributary factor that made the story a grand success...the director placed certain important issues other than the political set up in a such a delicate way...that one will simply go with the flow and can feel the seriousness of the issues, like Parents spending their entire income on their children's future or hoe living a life entirely based on honesty is the most difficult task in this era....and this list continues..

As a corrupt politician, through quirky dialogues Bhagwan Tiwarii Portrayed the reality, of how Politician thinks the more scam they can perform , the more popular they are....even they can out of shame if their co-workers possess a bigger scam in their purse..

Aditi Sharma gave one of the movie's best scene...As a PS to minister, she showed that inspite of all difficulties you have to write a perfect speech although its original narration is full of filth...I loved that conversation...

Uttara ji gave a stellar performance, She showed how Satta revolves..

And not to mention the stars of the Movie Anupamkher ji, Divyendu sharma and Neha Dhupai...per excellence...Neha Dhupia perfectly over acted her parts that was definitely needed for the movie..she is indeed talented...Anupam ji is a maestro when it comes to acting and he proved that...oh his conversation with BMC officer And his sons were so real....Divyendu sharma...boy boy ....u r a charmer and a performer....

Disappointment: Ram Sampath....the movie only needed The Ghoor Ghoor ke song...rest all were unnecessary..

Surprise: Rahil Quazi....Man u wrote excellent dialouges...

It is definitely a Watch....

'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.

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.
