Cheeni Kam : by R. Balakrishnan

Sugar Sweet Story line ... Unusual Title for such kinda subject :) ... Cheeni Kam defines a subject explored in varied ways ( a la' Nishabd being the latest in the category) ; an older man besotted to a younger woman.

This flick stays away from the obsessive streak which has always been the undercurrent in the chemistry of a couple. Instead it has that innocence between Big B and Tabu who have performed with aplomb.

The character of a taskmaster Chef in the london suburbs eatery leaves the audience in splits with his witty one-liners.Tabu plays a delhite on a vacation has an uncanny knack of keeping a step ahead of the chef ( Big B ) in verbose games.

This sweet story has an amazing wordy tangos happening minute after minute; Special mention:

1. the Chef and his mother's constant cribbing about Gym errands!
2. 'Sexy' neighbourhood kid acting as a counseller and an advisor to the chef for his emotional upheavals.
3. Zafarani Pulao is the dish of the season!!

Paresh Rawal's his·tri·on·ics in the second half makes the movie a drag and leaves the audience to get the thing over ...

Nevertheless, watch it for super crackling chemistry between two of the finest actors in bollywood .. one time dekko for sure!

Rating : 3.0/5.0
