Director Umesh Shukla, recognized for his preceding works including 'OMG 2,' 'All is Well,' and '102 Not Out,' is now again with a new project known as 'Aankh Micholi.' It appears that judging a film primarily based on the director's past movies might not be a fair technique, as my expectancies were pretty decent, given his previous work, specifically with 'OMG'. However, after watching the film, right here's what I think about it.

Plot and Treatment :  This movie adheres to the typical formula of a clichéd comedy-drama, featuring a own family with diverse people possessing eccentric personality developments. Paresh Rawal plays Navjot Singh, a person who constantly forgets the whole thing. He has two sons: Sharman Joshi as Yuvraj, who's deaf, and Abhishek Banerjee as Harbhajan, who stammers. Their project is to find a appropriate fit for his or her sister, Mrunal Thakur, who suffers from night time blindness. The plot takes a turn while Mrunal Thakur's person, Paro, encounters a guy in Switzerland and develops emotions for him. Serendipitously, he enters her existence as Rohit Patel (Abhimanyu Dassani) through an organized marriage setup. The ensuing family drama revolves round concealing Paro's night time blindness and the numerous fitness issues of the family members from their in-laws.

Although the concept seemed exciting, the movie fell brief in its execution. The writing lacks depth, and the film's runtime becomes incredibly tedious. Hopes for a extra attractive second 1/2 are almost fulfilled till the climax, which in the long run disappoints and leaves the target audience astounded. The humor falls flat. This movie was made before the pandemic, and within the context of the modern state of cinema, in particular post-pandemic, where content material has reached unparalleled heights, it feels like a movie that could have gained more interest earlier than the pandemic generation.

The 'what is really happening' feeling:  The director attempts to offer the movie in a more sketchy fashion, employing black and white pictures and lively character introductions. However, those stylistic choices do not pretty align with the narrative. Throughout the movie, you will locate yourself thinking what is virtually transpiring, particularly for the duration of the climax whilst the entirety is discovered and Paro and Rohit are taking their very last pheras. The foremost difficulty lies in the remedy of the one-liners and situational comedy, which fail to resonate successfully. There are times in which Paresh Rawal's person forgets to neglect, and a visually impaired person executes a pre-choreographed song perfectly, among different inconsistencies. To add to the bewilderment, the maximum sizeable second comes after the cease credits, revealing that a sequel is inside the works. 

Underutilized Ensemble:  In many movies, we often stumble upon instances wherein an actor's potential appears wasted or underused because of the script's obstacles. However, in this precise film, you will discover yourself lamenting the underutilization of just about every actor, leaving you at a loss for words approximately their involvement in the challenge. It's hard to unmarried out particular performances because every actor, whether it's Paresh Rawal as Navjot Singh, Sharman Joshi as Yuvraj Singh, Abhishek Banerjee as Harbhajan Singh, Divya Dutta as Yuvraj's wife, Mrunal Thakur as Paro, Vijay Raaz as the nemesis, all own great performing talents. They attempt to supply what's anticipated from the script, however sadly, their characters are poorly written. Consequently, their efforts do no longer stand out or make an impact. Abhimanyu has room for development, and it is apparent that he could shine brighter with the right script.
