9/10
Excellent Film which makes u feel u too r in the movie.....
7 September 2006
Warning: Spoilers
As my Summary says, this film is too good and extremely natural... with its plot, acting, surroundings, situational comedy etc etc... that u feel u r with them in their neighborhood watching all this...

I have seen some serials of Sai Paranjpe on DD, but never heard of this movie though... Even though i used to live in Bombay those days.. don't know why i missed this... Is it a Hit??? should have been... it was those days when those stage actors like Ravi vaswani, rakesh bedi, Ompuri, nasserudding shah, M.K.Raina,Sonia Razdan, Ajit Vachani and the great Pankaj Kapoor aka Karamchand, of course Syed jaffrey, satish shah use to give such wonderful films... u all must have seen Jaane be do yaaroon... a gem of a film known for its Black comedy...

Coming to CB, it has limited back ground score and no lengthy over-the-top dialogue... but still story keeps pace in its own way and takes some turns towards the end... i liked everyone 's acting even the waiter who serves Tooti-fruity...;-)

Although u always knew that the kidnappers about whom the paper goes on writing about in various parts of the movie, are going to show their faces.. and the end was a bit very filmy....

Sai Paranjpe should have made many such films... don't know if she has...intelligent Director....

Also it shows the calm life of those days as the other member has quoted... empty wide streets and calm and easy going life... Easy going jobs... No IPODS, CELL PHONES.. >:-(0)

if had not been for the clichéd climax where hero saves the heroine and Syed Jaffrey ending up form nowhere... why there has to be climax chaos in such comedy movies no one knows....i would have given this film a 10/10...

Syed Jaffrey's relationship with the 3 friends was kinda cute... Liked his performance...

Deepti Naval was a bit OK and to the point... Liked Farooq though...was very good....

Most of the comical situations like the girl Ravi vaswani drops (actually is Sai paranjpe or her daughter!!!!... one of them) turns out to be some other guys GF.... must have been new at those days.. very innovative... yet simple...

There u have it. A very Fresh, Innovative, Simple, Unassuming, Comical story which gives u the feeling why such films are not made often... we could give so called natural Hollywood movies a run for their money...

2 more movies i would like to bring to notice are . 1) this film name i do not remember but it has Raj babbar holding Pallavi Joshi as hostage...can anyone tell me the name??? 2) Khamosh - http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0089413/ - excellent thriller.. Many will be shocked to see Vidhu Vinodh chopra had so much talent at such a young age....

thats it....
