Bhool Chuk Maaf Review: Rajkumar Rao did not fit in Banarasi Babu avatar, it would have been better if he had come on OTT..

In the eyes of the stalwarts of South cinema, it is the Kashi of the North. If you have seen 'Kalki 2898 AD', you would know what is going to happen in this Kashi next. But, for our Hindi cinema, Kashi has been the city of truth from the beginning. Mahadev monitors it directly from Mount Kailash. Although they have CCTV cameras all over the world, as much as Mahadev is Mahadev in Kashi, it seems that here his third eye is on guard. Here, life is Mahadev and death is Mahadev. But, the Kashi of the film 'Bhool Chook Maaf' is located in a studio in Mumbai. It is the story of two such Brahmin families of Uttar Pradesh, where a Pandit ji sits on the roof on Sundays with his separate stove and cooks 'kheer' and also puts clove tadka in it. His son talks about feeding 'Puran Poli' (a dish from Maharashtra) to the cow, not roti. This 40-year-old idiot, brought up in Banaras, is sitting in the police station and trying to get his age changed to 25 years in the government records. Formula for a government job in two months

Well, what is it to me, my job is to watch the film, and to tell all of you that when you go out for a family outing on the weekend, can you spend two and a half to three thousand rupees of your hard-earned money on watching this film? There is a film on Netflix, 'Naked'. Apart from this, there is another English film, 'Groundhog Day'. The chromosome of the story of all these three films, including 'Bhool Chook Maaf', is the same. The hero of the film gets stuck in a time loop. Here, by the time Ranjan understands that he has not fulfilled the vow he had made to Lord Shiva to do a good deed, the train leaves the station. Due to this, Ranjan and Jan are stuck on the date just a day before their marriage. This incident also comes in the film just before the interval. The story before that is the same which you have seen in the trailer of the film. A boy and a girl from Banaras have run away from home. The police bring them to the police station. The matter is resolved by the fact that the boy will get a government job in two months. We are grateful to such UP police. And, we are grateful to the fathers of such daughters, who think that an unemployed person will get a government job in two months.

Dinesh missed making a timeless film.
The film 'Bhool Chook Maaf' could have been a great case study of millions of youth in the country worried about government jobs, but for that, filmmaker Dinesh Vision would have needed a different vision as well as a 25-26-year-old boy. And, the boys of this age who are dazzling the eyes of Hindi filmmakers these days with their 'light', from Agastya Nanda to Vedang Raina, Shikhar Pahariya, etc., none of them have had to deal with such an incident in life and probably never will. Only a youth like Amol Palekar of today's era can play such a character. A youth who has lived the struggle of getting a job in his personal life as well. When Dinesh Vijan could not find anyone, he forcefully fitted Rajkumar, who jumped into the film from 'Stree 2', in the same way as the word 'bakelite' has been stuffed in between the dialogues. Hey brother, Makati means bullying. Unnecessary talk is not called bakaiti but 'bak**'. What Karan Sharma? You could have spent some days in Kashi..!

There is no love like love, shouting every time
The heroine of the film is Vamika Gabbi. What is love, her character Titli has not learned even in films. She tries to become a Gabru Jawan in every talk and gets defeated in speech. One does not know what director Karan Sharma has got upset with Vamika Gabbi during the shooting of this entire film that not even a single decent closeup of this girl is seen in the entire film. It seems like a story of lack of 'tuning' between the director and the heroine, but the matter is also about women empowerment here. This girl is taking care of her boyfriend. We have already told you how the boyfriend is. She is even arranging bribes for him to get a government job. And the boy is jumping into cow dung every day without fail.

Why are both their families Mishra and Tiwari? I don't know. No background like the Brahmins of Kashi has been created for both the families here. Zakir Hussain, Raghuveer Yadav are the heads of both these families, but neither of them has got a single decent scene. Seema Pahwa is also there in the role of the hero's mother. Whenever the camera focuses on her, it suits her acting. The casting director of the film has found about half a dozen more new faces, but since the director is the writer himself and the film is written in a package deal, there is nothing for these supporting actors here like 'Raid 2'. Yes, Nalinish succeeds in bringing smiles on the face in the role of Neel Darji.
