A David Dhawan version of classic Chashme Badhoor
13 March 2014
Warning: Spoilers
Now with the trend of remaking old films, after Sajid Khan remade Himmatwala and made it the worst film of 2013, David Dhawan did with Chashme Badhoor which is a remake of the same title film of 1981 which was a classic. David Dhawan borrows some incidents from that film and adds his own modern take which is welcome but here the gags barring some many times are overdone in DD style, we have many stupid scenes too, We have added characters like Rishi and Lilette Dubey's roles, the film does make you laugh but comparing it to the original is like comparing David Dhawan to Basu Chaterjee and Hrishikesh Mukherjee

Direction is okay Music is good, The hit song Har ek Friend is good while Dhiskyaon is funny rest are okay

Ali Zafar tries hard to underplay and is okay, Taapsee annoys with her Dumb hai boss repetitively, Divyendru is fab, last seen in Pyaar Ka Punchnama he proves he has talent, Siddharth tends to overact but does well in some scenes Anupam Kher does his usual hamming, Bharti Achrekar is okay, Rishi Kapoor is hilarious though his role is stupid, Lilette Dubey is tyepcast, rest are okay
