Started watching this movie but had stop after 20 mins and write this review. Extremely sad and offended, I have always liked the plot and the character representation of Karthik Arayan in his movies. Some of his movies are my favorites such as Pyar Ka Punchnama and luka chuppi. I tried finding humor in some of extremely offensive jokes but had to stop after a while. long story short could've directed and produced differently and the representation of the neighbor (Pakistani) is very saddening. Amidst the current political situation between the two countries, I think movies as such play a very critical role in framing/shaping public beliefs. Actors may not believe in this but have some sort of responsibility somehow to portray a friendly picture of two nations in their movies if cannot do so at least try not including offensive humor. The biggest reason being is not only a lot of Indians but Pakistani's watch Bollywood movies and finding offense of such nature is not good business. Of course, a little friendly banter is always good. movies like 'Chal mera putt' draw a fine line between banter and pure offense. I mean long story short I know even though my review is not going to make much of a difference but I hope someone understands what I am trying to convey here. Also, these political and geographical beliefs are shaped through government and most of Indians and Pakistanis living overseas in countries such as England, Canada and States are actually very good friend this includes some of my best friends. Thanks for the read and hope you have a great day!
