The Chhupa Rustam Movie Review |
|---|
By N K Deoshi
Rating: 0.5/5
Chhupa Rustam has a subject that's been depicted too many times by our over ambitious, and unimaginative too, dream merchants in Bollywood. A small time trickster is a living replica of a multimillionaire. He has ambition to get rich quick. So impersonates his rich counterpart and gathers bounty of millions. But the road from rags to riches is paved with many hurdles.
Directed By Aziz Sajawal, it's all masala and only adds to the number of the kitsch that Bollywood's celluloid factories roll out on Fridays.
Raja (Sanjay Kapoor) dupes the public to meet his ends and to present expensive gifts to his dear Nisha (Manisha Koirala). For his bogus ways, our paupered hero spends most of his time behind the bars rather than cuddled in Nisha's embrace. Nisha doesn't like Raja's living-on-the-edge attitude and often admonishes him to mend his ways. But all her attempts go in vain as Raja would go to any extent to realize his dreams of getting rich quick.
Raja's meets Bheem Thapa (Raj Babbar) who shows him the photograph of his look-alike Nirmal (Sanjay Kapoor again), owner of a huge tea estate in Palanpur. Immediately Raja's evil mind gets to work and sees a golden opportunity to make big bucks by impersonating Nirmal. Raja and Thapa, birds of the same feather, flock together and Raja's journey from rags to riches begins.
In Palanpur, Nirmal has other things in his mind. He is searching the clues that would lead him to his father's killers. In the course, he meets Sandhya (Mamta Kulkarni) and both of them fall in love with each other. Before Nirmal could solve the puzzle of his father's murder, he falls prey to the evil designs of his slattern stepmother who, in league with the tea estate's greedy manager, gets him killed in a pre-planned car accident.
And step in Raja as Nirmal. Can Sandhya, who knows Nirmal inside out, be bluffed by Raja's trickery? Will Raja succeed in realizing his dreams of getting rich? All this form the high point of Chuupa Rustam.
.
Sanjay Kapoor who is struggling to get his lagging career back on the track gives another banal performance. His expressions are hollow and his make-up hardly gives him the looks of a street-smart tapori.
Manisha Koirala maintains her usual ease before the camera but her dialogue delivery has a close semblance to childish prattle. Whatever happened to Manisha of Dil Se, Bombay and 1942 A Love Story etc!
Nothing much should be expected of Mamta Kulkarni other than the bump grind and skimpily clad routine.
Produced by Madan Mohla Chhupa Rustam is an shoddy attempt by Aziz Sajawal who haven't cared not a hoot for the aesthetics and subtle nuances of good cinema. Cinematography by Kamlakar Rao is sloppy too. And the raunchy numbers with the two belles jiving to the bland music score by Anand Milind too fails to kindle any interest.
The first half of the film is tolerable and you will be totally browned off sitting willy-nilly through the second half. You can afford to give it a miss.
