Amit Sahni ki list
Starring: Vir Das, Vega Tamotia, Anindita Nayar, Kavi Shastri, Natasha Rastogi
Rated: 5/10
When Teen Deviyan was made in 1965 with Dev Anand, Simi Garewal, Nanda and Kalpana the hero, Dev Anand, goes looking for a wife and rejects a couple because they don’t fit into his definition of a ‘dutiful wife’, we let it ride and the movie emerged as a hit. But then, in the 60s men were, well, boys.
Nothing seems to have changed 40 years down the line and men are still boys! A fact confirmed by the latest release Amit Sahni Ki list. So, when our protagonist — Amit Sahni — makes a list of traits that he is looking for in his prospective wife, there is only one thing to say — he is an MCP.
The film is a light comedy with some fun element when it comes to the background narration by Vir Das. It offers some entertainment along the way. Das tries his best to endear himself but viewers may end up wanting to shake some sense into him as he oscillates from one woman to another. His indecisiveness irks you. And so does the song What The Fark.
The film makes for a one-time watch.
