Aaj Ki Taaza Khabar

Kiran Kumar is the hero of this movie.
Who would want to watch such a movie?
I urge you to differ as he's a great actor and I think he could have been a superstar, had luck favored him.

Let's start another way. What did you think of 'Golmaal Returns'? Funny. Interesting. Different. Well, you need to revisit your conclusions. Because, it's *inspired* (in total Anu Malik style) by this fun loving 1973 flick. You can read more about this inspiration here.

AKTK (Aaj Ki Taaza Khabar) has a plethora of comedians filled in - Asrani, I. S. Johar and Paintal.The movie has its fair share of star attraction as well. There's one song each for Helen, Mehmood and Jayshree T.

Shankar Jaikishan are the music composers and you would have surely heard the classic 'Mujhe meri biwi se bachao' song.


Story:Sunil Mehta (Kiran Kumar), gets caught in a funfare along with an unknown lady atop a giant wheel for a night. His wife Geeta(Radha Saluja) refuses to believe him which forces Sunil to come up with a fake story about his friend Champak Bhoomia. Ramji (I. S. Johar) is a smart servant who knows, which trigger needs to be pulled and when.

Sunil Mehta convinces his friend Amit Desai (Asrani) to play as Champak Bhoomia in front of his wife. However, an actual Champak Bhoomia (Paintal) shows up at their residence to create chaos. To add to this, we have Champak's wife (Padma Khanna) who thinks Champak's having an affair with Geeta and Amit thinks his wife Kesari (Manju Asrani) is having an affair with Sunil. The latter confusion is stemming from the fact Kesari is the lady who was stuck with Sunil in the carnival. All ends well as every one learns their lesson of having a mutual trust between husband-wife relationship.

Decent script, decent performances from all actors make this film a decent afternoon time pass. It might be a bit slow paced for today's time but then we do respect originality. Don't we?!?!? :)

think M Rating: 2.5/5.0
