'Kaam Chalu Hai' movie review: This overly melodramatic film is static and bland
It would suffice to say that the Rajpal Yadav-starrer, Kaam Chalu Hai , has its heart in the right place. It tells the story of Manoj Patil, who loses his daughter in a road accident due to a pothole. Inspired by a real-life story, Patil takes it upon himself to fill all the potholes when the authorities refuse to help him. There is a genuine pain in the story that brings out the complacent behaviour of the government. However, the same feeling can be sufficiently induced from a newspaper report. When it comes to engaging with the heart, the film has little to offer. It resorts to heightened expressions to bring out the suffering at play, leading to an unnecessarily melodramatic, and often dull narrative. Palaash Muchhal has written and directed the film along with composing the music. It is his second collaboration with Yadav after Ardh (2022). The actor, for most of his career, has garnered fame through minor, comic relief roles. It is a bit difficult to look beyond his established image. However, he has the bandwidth and scale as an actor to emote even in the most serious circumstances, as seen earlier in Apurva (2023). Even in Kaam Chalu Hai , his emotions find a sincere release, but it doesnt help that the film is not interested in looking beyond the bare necessities. A scene towards the second half has him visiting the pothole which led to his daughters death. He sits beside it and gradually starts crying. The intensity of the performance increases with every passing second. It is the duration of the scene which makes it more awkward than heartfelt. There is no foreboding in the emotions and his bellows keep on increasing without an end. The film is filled with many such scenes where the underlying emotions are too feeble to hold through. Cinema is a medium that streamlines real-life stories with gripping narratives. Here, in its obsession to bring the real story forward, predictability and exploitation of trauma take centre stage. Whatever forceful efforts the film takes to enhance the drama seem dated and out of order. Having its heart in the right place is not a good enough justification for the shortcomings of the film. What separates a newspaper report from a film are pivotal scenes that enhance the emotional core of the moment through cinematic language. The film does nothing more than what the trailer showed. It struggles to keep itself afloat even for a brief runtime of 80 minutes. Its content seems to be stretched for reasons best known to the makers. Kaam Chalu Hai strictly remains an issue-based film with largely familiar beats and a narrative filled with plot holes (pun intended). Film: Kaam Chalu Hai Director: Palaash Muchhal Cast: Rajpal Yadav, Giaa Manek and Kurangi Nagraj Rating: 1.5/5

The film stars Bigg Boss fame Rajeev and Shrijith Ghosh in the lead roles, with Sudeep in a guest role is a major attraction for this film, which is set to hit the theatres on May 3. Ive dedicated five years of hard work to this film. I didnt commit to any other projects during this time. Ive given my all to this film. I delivered whatever was required, even as I couldnt make time for anything else. Its a film that I truly cherished and agreed to be a part of. Though the journey was tough, I feel content with the output. The film has turned out well, mentions Rajeev. Its a film based on a true story and has a storyline that touches everyones heart. Theres a unique angle to this film. While it may seem like a Hindu-Muslim love story, theres more depth to it. Sudeep has supported us by playing a special role in the film, the actor adds. Shrijith Ghosh, expressing her thoughts about her Kannada debut, says, Usire Usire is my debut Kannada film. It has a great storyline that conveys the message that love transcends all religions. Im extremely delighted to be a part of this project. It was initially challenging for me to grasp and portray, being from North India. However, with the support of everyone in the film fraternity, it became possible. The film also stars Devaraj, Tara, Suchendra Prasad, Brahma, Ali, Sadhu Kokila, Manju Pavagad, Shaini Shetty, and Seetharam in pivotal roles. Produced by Pradeep Yadav, Usire Usire has a story written and directed by CM Vijay, has Vivek Chakravarthy composing music, and cinematography by Manu BK.
Films centred around underdog protagonists are not uncommon. Just a few weeks ago, we revelled in the stumbling attempts of Sachin in Premalu , as he struggled to find love, and a direction in life. More often than not, these characters have something going for them. They come with quirks that set them apart. The more imperfect they are, the more interesting their journey becomes. Sujatha (Shalini Kondepudi), the protagonist of My Dear Donga , does not belong to that club. She is justa regular young woman. She has nearly made peace with playing second fiddle in her own life, despite her penchant for breaking the fourth wall regularly with her inner monologues. Her ordinariness stands out more so because, for a large portion of the first half, we see her play second fiddle in other peoples lives as well. That gaze is undeniably palpable in the films early scenes, like when her best friend Bujji (Divya Sripada) gets a proposal or when Sujatha catches her boyfriend Vishal lying to her. Its only when we see Sujatha seated in front of a television, getting all emotional in the privacy of her home, hearing a song from a Mani Ratnam movie, that we first see her in her own world, being her true self. Amidst all the well-timed humour, the pathos of Sujatha rings true, and Shalini Kondepudi sells us the portrayal of this plain Jane prototype, who has nothing going for her. So when Sujatha, an emotionally anxious copywriter, gets a uniquely surprising visit on her birthday evefrom a small-time thief named Suresh (Abhinav Gomatam), big changes in her life follow as he ends up becoming an integral component of her life. Little vignettes of conversational humour keep My Dear Donga on its toes. In an outrageous moment, as Sujatha and Suresh bond over their similar past of dealing with a distant father figure, the talk ascends to a point where they begin to wonder if their father is indeed the same person. As they utter different names at once, Suresh breathes a sigh of relief. The tragedy instantly defuses into comedy, as they realise they too have something to be grateful for, despite nursing such wounded pasts. Despite these moments and many scenes with madcap energy, it takes you little time to manoeuvre a film like My Dear Donga, which is not the sitcom it promised to be, but instead a tender coming-of-age story, where our protagonist Sujatha finally becomes the main character of her own life after an absurdly chance encounter with a stranger. The unfortunate part is that the film fails to find a sweet spot between its humour and poignance. My Dear Donga surprises us by not going for a conventionally affirmative ending when we know where things are headed. Its a brave choice to wrap up the narrative the way Shalini does here. The scenes get easier on the laughs and focuses more on emotional resolutions when its time for Sujatha to find a little steadiness in her life. The humour takes a backseat, both for Sujatha and the viewers. We just know Sujatha is a different person now, and we can only be grateful for it. But again, a switch between humour and warmth is not an easy one, and My Dear Donga constantly tumbles as it tries to hit the right note. We find ourselves in conflict on whether to surrender to the films gentleness or be put off by its rickety staging. The breaking of the fourth wall is interesting, but it gets jaded after a point. Shalini Kondepudi (who has also written the film) gives her everything to make this film work, but her efforts are undone by other departments that dont rise to the occasion. My Dear Donga needed a better director. There are many jokes that do land well, but there are also an equal number of moments that pass us by without a chuckle. Also, its not often that a films low production scale bothers me, but My Dear Donga s distant two shots and underlit frames really stuck in the craw. Iwas particularly bewildered by Sujathas darkly lit face in a crucial confrontational scene in the final act. How can it be easy to emotionally invest in a narrative when we find ourselves trying to see the protagonists face? (Credit goes here to Shalini, who keeps us invested nonetheless with her raw yet earnest portrayal of Sujatha). When director B SSarwagna Kumar is not impeded by his technical limitations or his struggles to find the right tonality, he keeps up with the scripts ambitions, capturing the mundane awkwardness of real-life relationships. Bujji, Varun, and Vishalthe people who occupy space in Sujathas lifeare not on-your-nose comic relief figures. They carry an ordinariness just enough to have our empathy, with a touch of self-delusion that makes them funny. When Sujatha and her friends casually begin to dance at a house party, it has no artifice. There is no zealous attempt by anyone to bring the house down. Everyone dances with a unique energy, and it is the incongruity of this energy that resonates. At another point, two newly-formed friends awkwardly talk about the days weather, soon pondering about the temperature the day before, turning too analytical for their own good. Its embarrassing to others around them, but a sweet bonding moment for the two, and the director deftly captures the tenderness of the moment, without losing out on the humour. Its these moments of laidback charm where My Dear Donga shines the brightest. And while there is a lot to complain about here, there is also enough warmth that makes it hard to dismiss My Dear Donga in its entirety.
