'Chalo Dilli' , Directed by Shashant Shah, is A Passable Fare, that offers some nice moments in the goings-on, that manage to hold your interest. And even the performances, by Vinay Pathak & Lara Dutta, are up-to the mark!
'Chalo Dilli' Synopsis: Enroute to her destination via plane, a busy executive gets stranded with a middle-classed fast-talking male.
'Chalo Dilli' works in parts and comes across as a decent one-time watch. Being a Road-Movie, the film offers some nice moments, that genuinely hold your interest. However, after a winning first-hour, the film falters in it's second-hour, that is slightly longer than it should have been. The Screenplay by Arshad Sayed works nicely in the first-hour, but post-interval, it gets a bit dragging. Shashant Shah's Direction is fair. Cinematography & Editing, are satisfactory.
Performance-Wise: Vinay Pathak & Lara Dutta deliver impressive performances. And even their on-screen chemistry, is interesting. Akshay Kumar scores in a brief role. Brijendra Kala & Gaurav Gera support well.
On the whole, 'Chalo Dilli' is a decent watch.
