Ankur Pathak feels Chatur Singh Two Star is painful to sit through. Post YOUR reviews here!The funniest and the most incredible part of
Chatur Singh 2 Star -- a film, which I can confirm is a second hand version of
The Pink Panther is -- that the makers felt they could actually pull off the ambitious slapstick. Bravo!
For one,
The Pink Panther is a moronically unexciting film to steal inspiration from. Whatever little the inept franchise could manage to achieve, it deservingly should be credited to Peter Sellers -- who infused everything that was worthy in the films. Steve Martin just limped through it, and eventually collapsed -- with both films starring him being the unfunniest attempts ever made at travesty.
But it has one Bollywood film, against which it can stand tall and call itself a finely-crafted product.
Chatur Singh... makes
Pink Panther resemble the
Godfather of the slapstick variety. There are times in the film that make it so bad that it is good.
Sanjay Dutt plays the title character that is indisputably the most incompetent and dim-witted cop there is. To demonstrate this, he suspects any random place he inhabits, and goes on violently damaging property, before declaring the area 'secure'. He is aided by an even more annoying sidekick -- Pappu Panthar -- who when confused what to emote, picks his favorite expression, selected at random, and sticks to it.
This is one of the many grave concerns of
Chatur Singh, the film.
The screen is cluttered with needless artistes and they have no clue what they're doing in the film! One such miserable victim is Ameesha Patel. Her expressions are dumb and superficial. It appears as if the director was on a vacation and the supporting cast -- Anupam Kher, Murli Sharma, Suresh Menon, Rati Agnihotri are on an all-expense paid trip, indulging in their ultimate fancies, one by one. Awful scripts pass off as non-issues due to steady direction at times -- like in the case of Aneez Bazmee and David Dhavan films. But bad direction, with a bad script, is bad news.
Perhaps that explains the lack of a coherent narrative structure. The camera randomly pans on anything as if it is on auto-pilot. Before you can process information, a new song covers the screen, probably
to keep the viewer from trying to make sense of it all.
