 Anuj Saxena’s Maverick Productions in association with Mirchi Movies Limited’s ‘Aloo Chaat’ eventually hits the screens all over. The film has been well in news since the outset and the viewers were waiting for the release. The movie stars Aftab Shivdasani, Aamna Shariff, Linda Arsenio, Kulbhushan Kharbanda, Manoj Pahwa, Dolly Ahluwalia, Meenakshi, Sanjay Mishra and Chandan Anand.
We have witnessed Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s flicks in the past and loved to watch them. His movies were simple depicted on the screen with simple manners so that the viewers could absorb easily. Director Robby Grewal tries to follow the pattern set by Hrishikesh and succeeds with finesse.
Nikhil (Aftab), the USA returned guy belongs to an orthodox Punjabi family. He finds himself in a fix as to how to disclose the truth to his family about his love with a Muslim girl Aamna (Aamna Shariff) while studying in the US. His parents start showing him Punjabi girls for wedding. Knowing the temperament of his father Purshottam (Kulbhushan Kharbanda). Thus, Nikhil decides to go to his father’s best friend (Manoj Pahwa), who has a great influence on his father. Together they design a plot to bring Nikhil’s girlfriend (Aamna Sharif) into the family.
Robby Grewal is a great storyteller. His abilities are vivid through his depiction of the interesting subject on the celluloid. He deserves distinction marks. His choice of actors is apt. Divya Nidhi Sharma’s screenplay is fabulous. The music is spongy and hummable.
Aftab Shivdasani is great to watch. Aamna Shariff is not only a beautiful actress but also a superb performer, as she has shown her skills on the television. The debutante attracts hugely. She has potential to be a threat for the Bollywood biggies. Linda Arsenio, the Kabul Express girl impresses with her act. Rest of the cast does well too.
A great entertainer, ‘Aloo Chaat’ will surely provide you a spicy taste. Go and watch it.

Aloo chaat is one of the very few greatest comedy movies I have seen.. It stands well at par with movies such as dharmendra starred Chupke-chupke, and arshad warshi’s Sunday etc. Its a complete familiy entertainer.. Its a must watch.
