Release of Films - MOTICHOOR CHAKNACHOOR & MARJAAVAAN
Nawazuddin Siddiqui is known for carrying his films on his shoulders with his versatile acting. Such is also the case in his latest film Motichoor Chaknachoor. Also starring Athiya Shetty as Annie, the small town girl has rejected a long list of suitors arranged by her parents on the condition that she will only marry someone settled abroad. Pushpinder played by Nawazuddin on the other hand is so desperate to marry that he is willing to settle for anybody. His mother however is hoping to marry her son off only against a fat dowry. Motichoor Chaknachoor tries to capitalize on the small town milieu and the usual mix of quirky characters that we have often seen in movies set in Northern India. Nawazuddin shines in some of the comic and emotional scenes. Athiya Shetty makes a sincere effort and pulls off some scenes impressively. Karuna Pandey as the aunt and Vibha Chibber as the mother make an impact. And film`s soundtrack is pleasant. Overall, Motichoor Chaknachoor comes off as a mixed bag that leaves a lot to be desired in the execution department. The second film which released on Friday is Marjaavaan. Starring Siddharth Malhotra, the film has love, drama, action and revenge packed in an exhausting two and a half hours of narrative.
