Kulche Chole Movie Review: This romantic saga is delectable just like its title

Kulche Chole: A movie comprising of comparatively inexperienced actors doesn't let the same revelation come out in public.

Habib Faisal's 'Daawat-e-Ishq' (2014) comes to mind when one thinks of food playing a primary character in a movie. Although 'Kulche Chole' isn't incorporated with a feast per se but the starting scenes of the movie are enough to make you feel hungry.

With PVR not serving the likes of Kulche Chole and Jalebi in their menu, one doesn't have an option than to concentrate on the movie in order to kill an urgent urge of eating something right at the start of this movie.

Only a few minutes into the movie and one isn't even thinking of eating anymore due to the praiseworthy start of the movie. Kulche Chole might not have the variety of food items like Daawat-e-Ishq (for obvious reasons) but the power of Amritsari Kulche is such that you don't really need variance in front of it.

Just like the dish, power of the movie also manages to keep you engrossed especially with an orphan Jaggi's (Dilraj Grewal) helplessness as an unemployed engineer and his best friend and car mechanic Kaala's (Jaswant Singh Rathore) comic timing.

The movie doesn't take a lot of time in explaing its premise with respect to these two main characters. Unlike most of the movies, Kulche Chole also doesn't wait for the climax to address a social message around unemployment. Additionally, the movie just doesn't consist of a social message for the sake of it but also manages to provide practical solutions in an effective manner.

It is after a point in time that actor Jannat Zubair (Harleen) enters both the movie and Jaggi's life as his love interest. Both debutant actors, Grewal and Zubair do a successful act in not letting their inexperience come in the way of a watchable movie.

However, it is Rathore who emerges as the pick of the lot due to his sheer consistency in Kulche Chole. From his expressions creating an impression to him nailing a quintessential Amritsari accent with supreme consistency, Rathore really becomes triumphant in enthralling you across the two halves.

Although his screentime is way lesser than the other above mentioned actors, Sumit Gulati as Tinku Virus also comes good in his act of a computer specialist. Gulati, who impersonates actor Shah Rukh Khan multiples times in Kulche Chole, is justified in a movie which validates his famous dialogue "Koi bhi dhandha chota nahin hota [No business is small by nature]" from Rahul Dholakia's 'Raees' (2017).

Watch Kulche Chole for an enjoyable easy-going rom-com fit to be watched with family members!
