    Script Gul, torture chalu

    Batti Gul Meter Chalu is a drama comedy movie starring Shahid Kapoor, Divyendu Sharma and Shraddha Kapoor supported by Yami Gautam, Farida Jalal and Samir Soni to name a few.

    The start of the movie is promising but just after 30 minutes you will realise that you have been cheated by giving old story in new packing.

    The story turns predictable after some time with love triangle, jealousy and the change of heart.

    The director has chosen one of the important plot but couldn't able to execute it properly by mixing too many plots.

    The courtroom drama in the climax is boring and doesn't have the impact to impress the viewers, the end of the movie is also very abrupt.

    Acting by Shahid Kapoor and Divyendu Sharma is good, Shraddha Kapoor doesn't impress and looks like she is been forced to do this role. Yami Gautam and Samir Soni is purely wasted and so as the rest but talented supporting cast.

    The director wants to give a social message but the execution and screenplay doesn't impress. The only good thing about the movie is beautiful location of Uttarakhand.

    Entertainment with Message..!!

    Batti Gul meter chalu is a movie which deals with the topic of issues the poor people face with electricity.

    This is one of the best movies of Shahid Kapoor after Padmaavat. The performances of the actors like Shraddha Kapoor and Divyendu Sharma leaves an impact with the audience.

    Yami Gautam's performance is not up to the mark. All & all, the topic of the film is relevant, but the weak point of the film is its runtime, which is long.

    Directed by Shree Narayan Singh, Batti Gul Meter Chalu tells the story of how people are suffering from corruption in the electricity system.

    You will like the film, but at some points it gets boring also. So this film is a one time watch because of Shahid Kapoor.

    Alluring Message in a Dramatised Comedy form

    After watching the movie I didn't stop myself appraising the cast of movie for doing justice to their roles and for bringing such an immense issue of Mountaineous regions in a utterly amusing way. I commend this movie to be watched by everyone. A nice effort to exhibit Uttarakhandi Culture, So definitely a must watch for all Uttarkhandis.

    Destroyed my Ears for the first 30 minutes

    I mean why the hell they had to change the language to this Bal and Thehra. They destroyed the audience ears by this. Just remove these two words then it might collect the more double money from box office. Bal and Thehra drowned the whole Movie. If you pass with first 40 minutes then you might enjoy it.
