'Ekkees Toppon Ki Salaami' went unnoticed & bombed at the box-office. But, that sad! 'Ekkees Toppon Ki Salaami' is actually a Well-Intentioned & Well-Acted film, that deserved a much better fate. Not many have this watched nicely done effort, although it deserves to be seen!
'Ekkees Toppon Ki Salaami' follows two brothers and their quest to fulfill their father's last wish, a twenty-one gun salute.
Director Ravindra Gautam deserves kudos for delivering a well-intentioned story, although the Writing doesn't always support him. Rahil Qaazi's Screenplay, though terrific in parts, goes slightly off-balance in its second-hour. The Writing is strong at times & even the dialogue are natural to the core. But, a stronger second-hour, definitely could've made things better!
'Ekkees Toppon Ki Salaami' aces as far its performances are concerned. Anupam Kher is simply brilliant as the honest man, who's put to shame. The veteran actor sinks his teeth into the part & brings it out with flying colors. Divyendu Sharma is very sincere, while Manu Rishi is first-rate. Aditi Sharma is genuinely charming. Neha Dhupia is gloriously over-the-top, but Rajesh Sharma is flawless, yet again. Sudhir Pandey is fantastic.
On the whole, 'Ekkees Toppon Ki Salaami' has its heart at the right place.
