Light hearty and innocent

Sameer lodaya

The movie is very light, hearty and innocent in content and the way it is filmed

I was in two mind to see this movie as Kunal has already given a dull comedy series POP KAUN but I was surprise to see how marvellously he acted..the character designed for him of a great miser with a obedient son was a delight to watch and he played the same very well and confidently he carried the whole movie on his shoulders..piyushji gave good English punches to enlighten the humour

The content is very simple and fresh which was accurately and lightly directed by Vipul..the little little humour created was very hilarious..the character of bua as a social media follower and how she narrates the social media elements is very unique which surely you will enjoy..the movie is good in pace and will not give you boredom..the movie travels from miserhood to good son to great human..the innocence of a rural place along with emotions and local language is very well presented

Now this is a good weekend as chor nikal ke bhaaga and this movie both are entertaining.

Decent one time watch

[ananditag-83449 · 7/10 · 26 March 2023]

I think the movie overall was fairly good. The acting was good and the movie had a great theme to it as well.

More importantly, its a movie I was able to watch with my dadi, and not many movies are appropriate enough for that now days. Therefore, it was nice to see some family oriented movie for a change. If you're looking for something to watch with parents, this is it.

I will say, I was expecting more comedy, but that was on the limited side honestly. It did however turn out to have a good message and end of the day was a good movie to watch. I would recommend everyone watches is at least one time, won't be disappointed.

Can never go wrong with Kunal Khemu and Piyush Mishra

[nimeshsaroha · 8/10 · 24 March 2023]

What an amazing Starcast and brilliant way of story telling. This movie makes you laugh and cry within a minute.

What a roller coaster of emotions.. Absolutely loved it !

Kunal Khemu has always proved metal of his acting skills, specially his comic timing. Piyush Mishra does complete justice to the role of the father.

Movie gives amazing message on how important parents are in ones life.

A family movie after many years. Complete Family Drama! Good satire on the activities of government agency representatives.

Kunal's character got some similar vibes as in Lootcase. Overall, a complete entertaining film.

A breath of fresh air

[gobindpreetsinghgupta · 7/10 · 24 March 2023]

Movie starts of on a good note showcasing few interesting characters especially that of Kunal khemu as a miser who loves his parents dearly. We get to see his family consisting of his parents, wife and a child. All the characters are quite interesting.

Even the neighbours have their own mannerisms which lift up even an average scene.

Story is talks about basic values of a middle class people who always try to maintain a balance in order to keep their principles and values intact despite the hard circumstances.

The movie has been dealt with in a very breezy manner although screenplay could have been much better.

Dialogues of the movie are pretty funny and will keep you invested throughout.

One emotional song of the movie is very good and keeps you hooked.

Kunal khemu, Shweta tripathi, Piyush mishra, his wife, kid, bhua and rest of the cast have done a praiseworthy job.

Movie can be watched with the whole family.

Good moral of the movie

[divyankk · 10/10 · 27 March 2023]

The moral of the story is that the Uttar Pradesh government official are taking huge bribes from the families that are getting compensation for their near and dear one death due to the Kedarnath floods of 2013.

The main lead actor's (Jamuna ) parents are missing after the flood at Kedarnath and after 25 days the government people ask him to take the compensation. Now here the main problem arise that instead of Rs 14 Lakh, he gets 10 Lakhs and is being told that the 4 lakh is given to various department for fast processing. Now after few days he has spent the 10 lakh he got and out of the blue his parents return hail and hearty.

Now the problem arises that their parents are dead in the government as they have a death certificate. Now the government will want to give him 14 lakhs as signed in the document. Also the main officer tell that let his parents be dead as his government post is on the line/he could be fired.

The officer is ready to pay Jamuna extra to keep shut and he almost except the same. But another person who got compensation is angry that even his compensation money is short of what was offered. Jamuna's eyes open up and he wants to fight the government for the bribes that they have taken.

He fights with the government and he wins, the corrupt officer is jailed and Jamuna is slowly and steady making money to pay back the government.

KANJOOS MAKHICHOOS:-a wasted film, saved only by some acting chops and the message it tries to convey

[puranjanbasak · 6/10 · 31 March 2023]

Kanjoos makhichoos is a family comedy drama film directed by vipul mehta.

It takes some power of undoing capabilities to write such a rushed and frantic screenplay. The scenes were running so fast as if they had to go to panvel tomorrow. There is no bond established with the parents of jamna to have any sympathy or pain for them, as a result of which when the incident happens, you feel same emotions as you were in the last 5 mins. There is one forced song in the screenplay too, adding more salt to the wounds. The end of the film is just a convenient means to end and not an organic one.

Every actor, every single actor has given extra loud performances, the worst of the lot being shweta tripathi. She is such a talented artist, wasted so terribly here. Kunal kemmu though is decent here, being wasted too. Piyush mishra and alka amin could have done so much better, but were reduced to loud caricatures.

The positive is the commentary on governmental frauds and system rupture. Common men and women are puppets to the archaic institution, and so they can olay with their emotions. The film works best when it tries to be serious, because the comedy is mostly aloof. Its mostly exaggeration and forceful gags.

Its just a decent watch, and nothing else.

Not Recommended 👎🏻

[nitsvirusboyz · 4/10 · 24 March 2023]

Kanjoos Makhichoos is an old-styled family entertainer film and the makers failed to deliver a convincing social commentary. The film lacks good humour and impactful dialogues. Most of the jokes fall flat and there were only a few funny scenes that can make the viewers laugh.

The screenplay in the first half of the film is needlessly stretched. The film wasted more time in setting up the premise. The writing has not done justice to the characters. Kunal Kemmu and Rajiv Gupta manages to deliver a decent performance. All other potential actors Shweta Tripathi, Piyush Mishra, Alka Amin, and Raju Srivastava were wasted.

Direction 2/5 Acting 2.5/5 Dialogues 2/5 Story 2/5 Screenplay 1.5/5.

Light hearted beautiful movie

[nupur-95800 · 10/10 · 25 March 2023]

A complete family entertainment after a long long time! Finding such movies in today's time is priceless! You don't find such movies now a days. The story, acting and casting was just perfect. Please do watch this movie and please don't go by the low reviews it has got as you have to watch it to feel it. The entire movie keeps you hooked on the story and the performances throughout the length of the movie as all the characters are played brilliantly and with ease. The comedy is also fresh and not repetitive. I will recommend this movie to all abd to those who have watch Gullack web series! Go ahead give it a try.

Nice comedy scenes and timing

[amittomarkool · 7/10 · 14 January 2024]

Jamnaprasad (Kunal Kemmu), son of Gangaprasad (Piyush Mishra) and Saraswati (Alka Amin) and husband of Madhuri (Shweta Tripathi Sharma), is the miserly sort who skimps on the essentials and even stubs out agarbattis after he has paid his respects to his gods. Might he merely be frugal, this forward-thinking opponent of wasteful consumption? Writer-director Vipul Meha's Kanjoos Makhichoos, which is out on ZEE5, is happy to be confused.

A financial opportunity beckons Jamnaprasad when his parents are declared missing during a pilgrimage to Uttarakhand. The officers in charge of sanctioning compensation, Chaturvedi (Rajiv Gupta) and Yadav (Raju Srivastava), demand and are given bribes to release the amount due to Jamnaprasad.

The title is misleading; the comedy broad and occasionally funny; the acting suitably hammy. After shedding its pretence of being a study of parsimony, the film slides into a conventional examination of Jamnaprasad's transformation from penny-pincher to scam-buster. Sharp performances from the main actors - especially from Kunal Kemmu, who plays loud with subtlety - and a screenplay content with extracting cheap thrills from a non-situation, the film lurches from one slapstick situation to the next.

Poor writing, editing, direction and execution

[abhinavsharma-84641 · 1/10 · 4 April 2023]

I was excited for this movie as Kunal Khemu chooses good movies. But this movie is really really bad. The kanjoos part hardly lasts 15 minutes and then the stories changes its course to never explore the kanjoos part. Movie is poorly written and jokes don't land as per the intentions. Piyush Mishra is out of act in his interpretation of the role. Others have done well but acting can only save so much. The premise was good but was never explored. Songs are pretty subpar and do not add anything to the plot. The most disappointing bit was such poor direction and editing. Would not recommend this movie to anyone. Complete waste of time.

Family Entertainment Package

[aashishguptaa · 8/10 · 30 March 2023]

Flim starts with slow but jumps into the fast pace quickly. Story is simple yet entertaining. Kunal over shadows everyone with his performance. You start the movie with smile and it's ends with same emotions. Although you feel few flows here and there but you can neglect these things. In the recent time comedy movies are rare to watch which entertain us. But this movie is perfect combo of emotions and comedy. Shweta Tripathi was surprise in the movie. She has captured that small town girl role pretty well. If talk about negetive then the supporting cast doesn't have much to do. They are just fit in for fillers.

Kunal The Family Hero

Kunal U r truly a gem.

Why this title?

[Unfilmy · 3/10 · 20 April 2023]

I cannot believe that actors like Kunal Khemu, Shweta Tripathi, Alka Amin, Rajiv Gupta are in this obnoxious movie.

The title has nothing to do with the movie except the first 10 minutes. Then the plot completely drifts off and the acting gets very loud and annoying. Jokes are not funny and Raju Srivastava's role is very bad. Shweta Tripathi is just a prop. There are unnecessary songs in the movie which do not fit well with the scenes.

The premise of the movie is government frauds and nothing to do with the title and how the movie started. You can watch it one time, but be prepared to fast forward when the bits get boring and stretched.

Kanjoos Makhichoos - Humour, Satire all at once.

[vaissiddiqui-54597 · 10/10 · 29 March 2023]

Kanjoos Makhichoos has it all, everything everywhere all at once. The humour is mind blowing and the emotions fit so good. The setting of story in Lucknow is a cherry on cake because the 'misery' and the belongingness goes hand in hand. The pacing screenplay doesn't not wait for anything, it goes very well with the movie. All the characters in the movie are very relatable and humorous. They all add value to the movie with their presence. All the Dialogues in the film are very relatable and contemporary with a pinch of masala in them. The film is a must watch, a family entertainer with a good message.

Lovely movie

[manaleerv · 10/10 · 12 April 2023]

Acting of Kunal is up to the mark he carries the role with an ease its very delighting to watch him act everytime.

One of the best things about this movie is that it's very relatable and easily gets connected.

There are variety of factors looked on to which makes the movies amazing to watch.

Good dialogue delivery which makes a scene perfect and worth watching.

There is so much simplicity in kunals acting Sincerely does follow the character Decent style not too loud which is good to watch Handsome looks no words for this i just love to watch him All steal the show.

Kind hearted Unique Natural Amazing Lovely.

Pop Up comedy

[sameerkhan666 · 8/10 · 14 April 2023]

Comedy, though being the main element of the entire movie, was thing that popped up, rather than being the main aspect. And does made sense at some point consedireing the plot of the movie. Kunal Khemu, with his good looks, had made the movie a great enjoyment with his acting that should not underestimated. The movie does also tries its best to keep up the suspense factor and you never know what can turn out after other minute. This movie should not be limited to OTT platform but should have released in cinema houses. We cannot deny the talent and we should definitely appreciate it with crowd and gathering and positive chaos.

Good movie

[kitusukhwani · 10/10 · 1 April 2023]

The action in United kacche series is some of the best I've ever seen.

The plot of United kacche series is very well executed and will keep you entertained throughout.

Fast pace and entertaining

[bhupidafriend · 8/10 · 4 April 2023]

I like most of the things in the movie. It's a good watch. If they wanted they could have extended the movie or could have cropped a bit but overall it has decent runtime. Every actor has done their job pretty good. Perfect fit for the OTT.

Good: Movie is fast pace, never bore you. None of the scenes looks detached from the movie.

Screenplay is good, mix of comedy and emotion is also good. Kunal khemu is good actor and can fit any role.

Part of Sattire is very nicely placed, otherwise mostly movies have a long part of these sattires, but here it's quick, straight forward and to the point (this is the best part for me).

Bad: Nothing much, good option to watch.

Great movie

Typical Bollywood

[sanketfitkariwala · 8/10 · 26 June 2023]

It is a typical Bollywood old style movie Not so much comedy But one time watch.

Kanjoos Makhichoos is an old-styled family entertainer film and the makers failed to deliver a convincing social commentary. The film lacks good humour and impactful dialogues. Most of the jokes fall flat and there were only a few funny scenes that can make the viewers laugh.

Awesome

[simmuabhi · 8/10 · 2 June 2023]

Amazing piece of work. Kunal Khemu returned with vibrant acting skills and great work by piyush mishra and rajiv gupta, well supported by all cast of the movie. Based on a Gujarati play Sajan re jhooth na bolo, movie has mix of drama, emotions and humor. Role of Jamuna Prashad, played by Kunal Khemu is very appreciable which reveals irony of government system and involvement of corruption and middle men in government policies. Mixed with several hilarious twists how Jamuna Prashad takes on fight with government system to get exact compensation of his parents loss. A must watch despite non presence of big star cast.

Its very nice movie
