Chalo Dilli (2011)
7/10
An Unusual-yet-Enjoyable Journey of Two Contrasting Personalities!
4 August 2014
Warning: Spoilers
An unusual tale, far away from usual bollywood "love-stories of Hero and his beloved Heroine, Chalo Dilli is a different journey of two persons who are on the opposite extremes!

Mika Banerjee (Lara Dutta) and Manu Gupta (Vinay Pathak) are the unlikely pair who are caught together in a strange situation and have to exchange dialogues and get along with each other as they become the only known soul for each other in their unusual route to Delhi. Mika Banerjee is the elite, independent women, Senior Vice President of a 200-crore company having a sophisticated planned life-style. On the other extreme, Manu Gupta is carefree, friendly and happy-go-lucky saree shop owner from Karol Bagh, Delhi, not equipped with "elite-class etiquettes".

Vinay Pathak, with his unique style of acting will again make you giggle, laugh, smirk and cry all together! Lara Dutta also fits into the role as the sexy and confident working woman . Both the lead characters of the movie are the commonly found ones but these two extreme personalities coming together through dramatic sequences is what brings the humor and charm in the plot.

The less-taken road which they shared via dingy 'Dhaba', ticket-less train journey and a lot other exciting things is refreshing and will give you a reason to maintain a smile on your face throughout while you sit back relaxed in your seat and enjoy it till the end!

The movie leaves you with a beautiful message, from the "Kon si Badi Baat ho gayi" attitude of Manu Gupta whenever he finds himself in a problematic situation. Watch it and you won't realize when the clock went in circle twice. Bonus! You'd be left with a preciously beautiful message with a smile on your face and moist eyes!
