Priyadarshan's 'Khatta Meetha' is a Below Average fare, that suffers from poor writing. It fails to become a satisfactory comic satire in every aspect.
'Khatta Meetha' is a yet another flick that goes on to say that 'Honesty' always wins, and 'Dishonesty' doesn't. How the truth still weighs tons more than lies. Been-There-Done-That Stuff!
The film begins well, but loses the grip completely after a point. The second hour holds scant appeal, and one gets lazy till it reaches it's culmination. The writing is bland, and as mentioned, fails to become a satisfactory comic satire. Priyadarshan's direction is just about okay.
Acting wise, Akshay Kumar does well, but he's repeating himself. Trisha Krishnan doesn't impress. Rajpal Yadav & Makrand Deshpande are very good. Urvashi Sharma is wasted. Kulbhushan Kharbanda is alright. Johnny Lever manages to bring in a few laughs. Manoj Joshi, Milind Gunaji & Jaideep Ahlawat ham. Neeraj Vora gets zero scope.
On the whole, A disappointment by all means. Thumbs Down!
