Chala Mussadi Office Office Movie Review

Story:

'Chala Mussaddi.. Office Office’ is about a common man Mussaddilal Tripathy (Pankaj Kapur), who is chooses to be naïve about the corruption and bribery prevailing in the Indian society. Gone for a long pilgrimage, 62 year old Mussaddi comes back only to find out that the pension office has declared him dead in their records. Mussaddi decides to fight against the system alone and finally succeeds. He meets corrupt bureaucrats at every nook and corner, be it the railway officials, or the pandits who need bribe for performing a pooja, or the city collector.

Analysis:

The film has a good message that asks the common man to stop bribing officials so that the future generation can live in peace. Based on the Gandhian philosophy of being the change, the film hits the right chord, and for that and for the performances, we would go for two stars for this one.

Performance:

There is no issues as far as the performances go. The film lands on Kapur’s shoulder who is certainly a powerhouse of talent. Gaurav Kapur as Mussaddi’s unemployed son does his part well and impresses. Farida Jalal is in a blink and miss role. The rest of the cast is similar to what we are already accustomed to seeing. Even the dialogues are the same. The comic sequences just manage to create small giggles here and there.

Technicalities:

The problem with the film is that it lacks novelty and the cinematography and screenplay seems age old. Sajid Wajid has added one song to the film that describes Mussaddi and his dilemma. Though the song is nice, playing it at repetitive intervals gets irritating. The film seems dragged and boring in parts.

Plus Points:

- Pankaj Kapur, Good Message, Office Office Telly show credit.

Minus Points:

- Innovation, Screenplay

Final Word: Can be shun.
