Toh Baat Pakki did not have a good sense of humour since it declared the film to be funny! It did not make the viewers laugh one bit, although it was still stated as a comedy film. Vatsal Sheth does not have a important role in the film, well atleast not until Sharman Joshi. The film should atleast be declared a average. Status-Average

Toh Baat Pakki marks the return of National Award winning actress Tabassum Hashmi, popularly known as Tabu, who was last seen opposite Amitabh Bachchan in Cheeni Kum. The film also stars Sharman Joshi, fresh from the record breaking success of 3 Idiots. Apart from the talented star-cast there really wasn’t much in the trailers, to evoke any kind of interest to watch the film. Does the movie work? Read on to find out. Toh Baat Pakki is about Rajeshwari (Tabu) who plays the role of an over-protective elder sister to Nisha (Urvika Chowdhary). Rajeshwari is on look-out for some of the most eligible bachelor’s in town, who also needs to be a Saxena (same caste). Enter Rahul (Sharman Joshi) an engineering student with a seemingly bright future and Rajeshwari tries to set him up with Nisha. Soon, the two fall in love and decide to get married. Enter eligible bachelor No 2, Yuvraj Saxena (Vatsal Seth), with a high-salaried job and a car of his own. Rajeshwari is tempted and hatches a plan to now get Nisha married to Yuvraj. Who gets Nisha forms the rest of the tale. What works for Toh Baat Pakki: * The interactions between Tabu and Sharman in the first half to make ‘Baat Pakki’ is quiet hilarious. * To watch Tabu on the big screen after 3 long years, is a treat. Her high spirited performance as the house wife, loving sister et al is just terrific. * Sharman Joshi in a lively role is excellent. Especially when he shares screen space with Tabu. * Toh Baat Pakki is a family entertainer and the treatment is simple and devoid of candy floss – a welcome change in the era of glitz and glamor. What does not work for Toh Baat Pakki: * Everything apart from the performances – the story makes no sense, the screenplay is flawed, direction is amateurish. Clearly inspired by Hrishikesh Mukherjee classics, Kedarh Shinde on debut ends up presenting a convoluted tale that is lame in its comedy. * The pace is slow and the film is unnecessarily stretched in the second half, especially when the climax is evident 20 mins into the film. When a film is so predictable, its only the direction and those moments of brilliance that can save it – Toh Baat lacks both. * The DDLJ inspired scenes, with the over-smart Rahul playing silly tricks to break off the wedding, doesn’t work either. * The surplus music is a pain to sit through. * Dialogues are lame and have no spark nor wit to extract any laughter. Overall, with a scene or two that evokes a couple of laughs, its hard to actually figure out why Tabu decided to make her much-awaited comeback with a film like Toh Baat Pakki. Madhuri Dixit disappointed one and all with Aaja Nachle, its Tabu’s turn now.

Sharman is sweet as always. Tabu is good but sometimes her role irritates. Disappointment with Vatsal , Ayub And Tabu. Yuvika is sweet. And only sharman gives life to this movie. I watched it for sharman only. Otherwise it could be boring.

TOH BAAT PAKKI:'DISSAPOINTING AND LACKLUSTRE'…
TOH BAAT PAKKI:'DISSAPOINTING AND LACKLUSTRE' ----------------------------------------------------------- As soon as we saw Tabu in the promoS expectations were high.But unfortunately Director Kedarh Shinde's Toh baat pakki is nothing but Lacklustre as it falls flat on its face and fails to keep u intrested.The idea was to create a simple and identifiable film with a touch of humour of Hrishikesh Mukherjee's era.But what he failed to realise was that those films were backed by A plot and witty dialogues and with such a lacklustre Script you cant achieve that. --------------------------------------------------------- The film is set against a backdrop of interiors of india precisely Palampur.Rajeshwari[Tabu] who is groom hunting('saxena' {Community} Hunting) for his younger sister Nisha[uvika chowdury] and in the process meets Rahul[Sharman Joshi] and Yuvraaj[Vatsal Seth] two eligible bachelors.The story revolves around a Cunning and dominating Tabu who keeps on changing her mind depending on the wealth of the eligible grooms regardless of her sister's wish. --------------------------------------------------------- The humor is far and few and the faulty and detailess writing does more damage.It seemed that diretor was not serious about details and probably thats why sharman Joshi who was seen Riding a hero Honda Hunk bike all throughout the film in a small town of palampur is suddenly shown Riding a Bajaj discover with his love nisha that too on expressways u wont find in a small town.Furthermore u would see him dancing in front of high rise apartments and building with vehicles going past him on expressways in palampur which is shown to be a small town with mountain tops filled with greenery.while he was dancing he passes around two different weddings one a hindu and one christian outside a church but strangely and comically all the people are same in both the weddings. ---------------------------------------------------------- The music of the film by 'pritam' isnt great either.besides 'Mera biyah' no other song catches your imagination. ---------------------------------------------------------- In terms of acting,Tabu tries her best to keep the interest going but despite her best efforts she doesnt succeed,Ayub khan her husband is passable,Sharman joshi is i dont know why is dressed in one of the most ill fitted and tight shirts that i have seen in quiet some time but still he essays his role well as a simpleton Boy and doesnt have any witty punchlines which really hurt the film's chances,vatsal seth doesnt have much to do,Uvika chowdhury is reduced to nothing but a thumb sucking youngster who just cannot oppose her elder sister descision eventhough it is the most important decision of her life.Himani shivpuri is gud in her small role.Sharat saxena had no business in the film and there wud be a unanimous opinion amongst all the viewers that his role was nothing but forced in the film. ------------------------------------------------------------- All in all it is a Film u wont mind skipping and is one of those Films which would look gud in narration but what comes out on screen is not as convincing specially when the story tellers are not true to their work like in this case. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (1/5) REVIEWED BY PRABHJIT SINGH WALIA AT WWW.WETALKCINEMA.BLOGSPOT.COM
