Billu : by Priyadarshan

Billu , brings together Irffan Khan , a contemporary theater actor in frame 2 frame footage with a superstar SRK ..... and we expect fireworks ....

Priyardarshan , the captain , has been always been associated with feel-good comedy flicks with an ensemble of stalwarts , permanent fixtures like Om Puri , Paresh Rawal and Rajpal Yadav to name a few ..

Billu is a little different from the Hungama and Maalamal Weekly installments as it boasts of big wigs ( Deepika , Priyanka and Kareena in cameos)

Its feel good cinema all the way , Billu with his wife (played convincingly by Lara) and kids try to cope the penury in a small village named Budbuda.

Billu has scarcity of customers , kids keep mocking their father and has a doting wife.

One fine day , Sahir Khan , superstar from the tinsel town zooms into the village for shooting of his film , and an off-cuff remark by Billu , triggers a cascade in the village....

The supporting cast is just ok , with Irffan Khan giving a heart warming performance.

I personally found 3 moments worth mentioning :

  1. Post Interval Shooting Drama , is one of the hilarious scenes I have ever witnessed.
  2. Last 30 minutes of the film , brings a flood of emotions...
  3. Songs are supremely catchy.
Go and watch it with the entire family...

Rating : 3.0/5.0
