Performances?
The performances in Chhalle Mundiyaan are average at best. The lead star
Ammy Virk is easily the best of the ensemble cast.
Kulwinder Billa is good as Secretary, whose love is engaged to Ammy Virk’s Pamma due to the misunderstandings. The leading lady in the film,
Mandy Takhar, is just about OK. Second lead Sonia Kaur is passable.
Karamjit Anmol and B N Sharma provide some comic relief to the proceedings.
B N Sharma is in fine fettle in Chhalle Mundiyaan.
Analysis
At the outset, let us tell you that there’s nothing new about Chhalle Mundiyaan that you’ve not seen before in some film or series. However, the narrative is imbued with a rustic charm that might appeal to family audiences looking for a light-hearted weekend watch.
The plot of
Chhalle Mundiyaan is the feel-good kind – no villain to create havoc in the lives of the protagonists, cute characters that retain their old-school innocence, and of course, a happy ending.
These, however, are the only good things about Chhalle Mundiyaan. The storyline is ho-hum and barely perks our attention. The patchy direction does nothing to salvage the situation. A song every five to ten minutes or so diffuses whatever interest the meagre plot manages to create.
The acting is not all that great too. A few sparkling sequences aside, the rest of the film is strictly below average to watch. The comedy is sketchy; the jokes don’t land most of the time.
To sum it up, Chhalle Mundiyaan is an average watch, with nothing new to say. Those who like watching old-school, Doordarshan brand of films might enjoy Chhalle Mundiyaan. For others, better to stay away from it.
Music and Other Departments?
The music of Chhalle Mundiyaan is scored by Gurmeet Singh, Sachin Ahuja and Laddi Gill. The songs are average and hardly memorable. What’s more, there are too many of them, which acts as a distraction to the movie-watching experience rather than enhancing it. Akash Pandey and Manoj Shaw’s photography is fine, and manages to capture the rustic charm of Punjab’s hinterlands. Rohit Dhiman’s editing is average.
