Chashme Baddoor Movie Review by Rajeev Masand
Rating:
April 05, 2013
Cast: Ali Zafar, Devyendu Sharma, Siddharth, Tapsee Pannu, Rishi Kapoor, Lilette Dubey, Anupam Kher
Director: David Dhawan
Like a battering ram, David Dhawan’s puerile and frenzied remake, Chashme Baddoor, shatters and mauls your memories of Sai Paranjpye’s charming original. Light-hearted humor and innocent romance makes way for sexist jokes and cheesy puns…and the merits of keeping things simple are lost in the cacophony of screechy performances.
But I have a confession to make here – I didn’t hate the film. Dhawan is no Paranjpye, and his cinema is as subtle as a sledgehammer. The new Chashme Baddoor does no justice to the 1981 gem, but it’s not unwatchable either. What Dhawan’s shrewdly done – under the guise of remaking a much-loved classic – is repeated the template of many of his own previous films: Best friends fall for the same girl. When she’s leaning towards the other guy, what do you do? Sabotage their relationship, what else?
If the film doesn’t stink, it’s because Dhawan’s hired an enthusiastic trio of male leads who make the most of the wafer-thin material they’re provided. Sid (Ali Zafar), Jai (Siddharth), and Omi (Divyendu Sharma) are roommates sharing a rented home in Goa.

Chashme Baddoor Movie Review by Taran Adarsh
It’s raining remakes! RANGREZZ. HIMMATWALA. Now CHASHME BADDOOR. I’ve often been asked, is there a paucity of ideas in Bollywood? Why do dream merchants opt for remakes? Why not inventive concepts? Additionally, a lot of cineastes strongly feel classics should not be tampered with. For, rarely has a remake surpassed the original, in terms of content. In the process, those opting for remakes have lost credibility when comparisons are made…
Now David Dhawan steps into the revered territory with CHASHME BADDOOR, a film attempted by Sai Paranjpye more than three decades ago. CHASHME BADDOOR is loved for its simplistic plot, wittiness and slice of life realism. A story of three friends who fall in love with the same girl and the confusion that ensues… Sure, David borrows from the original, but the humor in his version is in your face, over the top, flamboyant… it’s simply wild, when you compare it with Sai’s version. Does it mean it’s more entertaining or a hodgepodge of the cult classic? Let’s analyse…
CHASHME BADDOOR narrates the story of three friends [Ali Zafar, Siddharth, Divyendu Sharma], who attempt to woo the same girl [Taapsee Pannu]. While the girl sets her sights on one of the guys, the remaining two go on an overdrive to tear the love birds apart.

London Paris New York Monday Business
London Paris New York grossed around 60-65 lakhs nett on Monday which is only 35% lower than its Friday business but that Friday business was low so the Monday drop is also limited as the film can’t drop much lower.
The four day business of the film is just over 4 crore nett and the week is likely to finish around 5.50 crore nett. The business of the film is affected by Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya as it is of same genre and that film is in its second week and is established at the box office with decent appreciation.
There are two new releases this week and two present releases holding well at the box office so London Paris New York will be out of most theatres in week two.

London Paris New York Has Poor Weekend
London Paris New York had a poor weekend as it grossed around 3.50 crore nett over the weekend. The film had a poor start and failed to show noteworthy growth on Saturday and Sunday. The daily breakdown of its weekend business was as follows.
Friday – 95 lakhs
Saturday – 1.15 crore
Sunday – 1.35 crore
The film collected best in Delhi city but even there it was still well below the mark and looking at the weekend trending not much can be expected from the weekdays as the film is likely to finish with lifetime business in the 6-7 crore nett region.
