Hum Hai Raahi Car Ke

Jyotin Goel used to be a director in Bollywood in the 80s and 90s.  I am not sure if you remember a movie called Inaam Dus Hazaar starring Sanju Baba, Meenakshi Seshadri and Amrish Puri.  If not, then maybe u may remember Zahreelay (1990) or Safari (1999) both starring Sanju Baba in the lead. If not, then you must go back and check out these classics from Bollywood.

I am quite certain that those movies would have been better than Hum Hai Raahi Car Ke.  The common factor of course is Sanju Baba who is an integral part of HHRCK in the role of Inspector Karan Karate.  Unfortunately, Baba will have nightmares in jail with his unforgettable and yet unmentionable comparisons cited through HHRCK.  I apologise for not mentioning any her for fear of losing followers.

 

While you have to contend with Inspector Karate only after the interval for a few minutes, you have to sustain the ridiculous expressions and attempt at acting from a certain Dev Goel who plays the role of Shammi Suri.  Shammi is a computer geek who has dropped from IIT whatever for taking on the Professor Ganguly (Anupam Kher). It is time that the IITs sue producers for wrongly using their name with duffers like Goel.

 

Shammi is neighbours with Priyanka (Adah Sharma), an absolutely adorable girl next door. Pri (as Shammi calls her) is a call centre executive at a medical firm and handles absurd calls through the day.  As if that wasn’t enough she has a prick of a boss who makes her work on new years.  But Pri and Shammi decide to go to Pune after diverting calls to her mobile. A comedy of errors ensues.

 

HHRCK is a painfully bad movie that caps a lousy weekend at the movies for Bollywood.  I cannot get over the pain that Dev Goel has put his audiences through.  Ther has to be an external agency that disallows such pathetic and gut wrenching performances and stalls the release of the movie.  There is a responsibility that Bollywood owes to its fans.  And the excuse of being a different genre doesn’t hold good here.

 

I struggled to find anything good about HHRCK and could only zero in on one and that would be a reasonable performance from Adah Sharma.  There is some potential there.  There is nothing else in the movie to look forward to.  The music is forgettable.  The support cast is disappointing with Chunky Pandey torturing you even more than the lead cast and a random character called Suresh Almadi making random appearances.

 

Don’t bother wasting your time and hard earned money with this seriously disappointing flick this weekend.  If you didn’t have any excuse to miss the IPL finals then Bollywood is definitely not going to give you a solution this weekend.  2 on 10.
