"Cheeni Kum" mein Cheeni kum hain !!!!???

You should see "cheeni kum" if
1. You want to see the stellar performances of Amitabh, Tabu, Paresh Rawal and Zohra Sehgal.
2. If you want to see an indian film in the backdrop of tasty indian food. Amitabh runs an Indian restaurent in london.
3. If you are okay with an older man (60+) falling for a younger woman (30+); but not like a dark hued film like nishabd - its a satirical comedy
4. If you believe that kids should speak like adults even if they are 6 yrs of age.
5. If you think that the girl should not leave her lover even if he is older than her dad (six years) - and this means trouble
6. If you believe that just by covering yourself in khadi and wearing rounded frame glasses, you can't claim to be the follower of Bapu.
8. If you want to laugh on a cook's malayalee accent.

You should not see "cheeni kum" if
1. You are very conservative and feel that such an age gap is not allowed between lovers.
2. If you believe that kids should be kids.
3. If you don't digest a satirical comedy.

Overall, Cheeni Kum is a good film. Nothing is misplaced and they have handled a good subject by means of a film. Amitabh is great - He looks fit and fabulous. What a comeback to Hindi for Tabu! Zohra, Amitabh's mom, is constantly insisting Amitabh to join the gym - this gives us some lighter moments - they both share a great chemistry. Amitabh and Tabu - trust me! look great together. Paresh Raval - you can see a typical "old" indian dad who threatens his daughter that he will go on a hunger strike till death if she chooses Amitabh as her soul mate.

But, at times I felt that this film has a feeble story line - all the ingredients are there - par cheeni kum hain. However, I recommend - worth watchable for the above reasons.
