Movie Review: Rafoo Chakkar
Film Critic: Goher Iqbal Punn
Producer: Shemaro Entertainment
Director: BH Tharun Kumar
Cast: Nauheed Cyrusi, Aslam Khan, Archana Puran Singh and others
The choreographer turned director Tharun Kumar comes up to director a comic venture, ‘Rafoo Chakar’. We have been witnessing the brainless comedies on celluloid for last few years..some of them worked big and many of them fell flat at the box office. Do you know the reason as to why this happened? The answer is simple. To make a comedy is not everyone’s cup of tea. An apt knowledge of the art and the skill to deliver the goods on screen rightly are required to make your product workable.
‘Rafoo Chakkar’ is a painful, boring and trashy comedy trying to be funny but failed to generate interest element in viewers, who are smarter to judge the outcome. A low class comedy, it just lets you yawn while the film plays on screen. The script is lifeless. The writer Ikram Akhtar could not maintain the consistency and make the narrative entertaining for the moviegoers.
Millie and Julie (Nisha and Nauheed Cyrusi) run away from home because they do not want to get married. Similarly, Pappu and Munnu( Yudi and Aslam) run away for the same reason. These four meet in Mumbai and fall in love, when they were supposed to get married to each other in the first place. Enters on the scene, the 45 years old soul sisters Kokila and Koena (Archana and Mita) who miss no opportunity to depict their black belt level Karate skills. Their father dies and they will get his property provided that they tie the knot, which is something they have avoided all their lives. Pappu and Munnu get robbed and their bad luck lands them in a marriage of convenience to the sisters, while their sweethearts know nothing of it.
‘Rafoo Chakkar’ does not have any potential to bring smile on your face. Very few comedies could do that. And the ones, which do, emerge as the blockbusters. BH Tharun Kumar’s direction is average. Dialogues by Raghuvir Shekhawat are just about okay. Music is mundane. Cinematography is passable.
Aslam Khan attracts. Archana Puran Singh and Mita Vashisht go well with the roles. Nisha Rawal is okay. Nauheed Cyrusi looks great. The rest of the cast is just average.
On the whole, ‘Rafoo Chakkar’ can surely let you ‘Rafoo Chakkar’ from the cinemas while the film is playing. A poor comedy all the way.
