Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana (2012)

Expected more

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Watched this movie out of the blue, had never heard about it. What a pleasant surprise, really enjoyed. The simplicity, the light hearted humor, fact that characters are so real makes this a great watch. Such a shame this was not a bigger commercial hit, many people would have missed this little gem. I think the IMDb rating is unfair, this deserves more. Music is also very complementary and though with a distinct Punjabi flavour, some great tunes. Loved the background score in particular, really catchy in places.I don't understand the Indian public - 'bakwaas' movies like chennai express is a huge hit and genuine movies like LSTCK don't get noticed.

Overall a good movie to watch ! Not much fun, because it has sad or emotional moments as well.Actual theme of the movie i.e. food (chicken khurana) starts in second half. If director/writer could have shown it in first half as well, then movie could be better and shorter.Leading cast Kunal was very honest to his role. Sometimes scenes are a bit longer (Editing as well), but I liked the scenes when Kunal and his 'love' were together. So, the story has a kind of small love angle as well.Rest of the casts, no matter whether it is 'mamaji' or 'buaji', all have done well ! Small brand movie, but sure to help you in smiling !

This is a good simple movie after a long time. This movie gives you some gentle comedy rather than masala type comedy. The story is of a boy (Kunal Kapoor) who stole money from his Daarji (Vinod Nagpal) and went abroad. After many years he found himself nowhere and was under pressure of a local gang.He came back to India to beg/borrow/steal money from his family again. His Chacha (Rajendra Sehi) was surprised and doubted him for his return. Daarji's Chicken Khurana was known as the best Chicken but unfortunately Daarji lost his memory and he did't even tell anything about the recipe. Kunal was offered 1 crore for this recipe and this was the only hope for his money and future.Huma Qureshi has given a stellar performance. Kunal Kapoor has given a decent performance but nothing to shout about. Rajendra Sethi as his chacha is outstanding as always. Titu Mama(Rajesh Sharma)is excellent. Other supporting cast has also given their best.Music adds a lot to this movie. Music by Amiit Trivedi is stellar. The theme music of this movie perfectly suits and the background score is also very good. Songs like Kikli Kalerdi adds some good taste to the movie.Yes, it also have some cons but generally, we don't get such type of cinema in Bollywood. This Movie is a must watch for everyone.

The movie has characters which are so accurate and genuine but then the plot has a hint of fiction in it. Had it been set on a non fictitious platform the movie could have pulled out brilliantly. Soundtracks give a good touch to the movie as it is quite slow paced and we do need something to move along. The script again could have done much more had it been tidied up a bit. Thematically its quite accurate as well with the locations. Just the fiction part ruined the perfection of the movie. The acting is good, Kunal Kapoor needs to drop the slow model walk that he does else its fine, Huma Qureshi justifies her role as a Punjaban and has done a good job, Titu mama (Rajesh Sharma) is outstanding, rest of the characters are also good. The comic punches are original, the script is refreshing compared to the run-of-the-mill fast paced comedy drama's. Watch it but don't justify it and you will surely love the Chicken Khurana that stews in the plot.
