joeybarton One of the best srk movie ever !! Full of twists and comedy with an amazing storyline
Mayank Singh It is the story of a ghost(Marco) who seeks redemption(played by Naseeruddin Shah) from his past sins. For this, he entails the help of a young man Sunder(Shahrukh Khan).Naseeruddin Shah and Shahrukh Khan play their parts to perfection ably supported by Shammi Kapoor. Urmila Mantodkar was a disappointment though. The story suffers from many clichés(like Kunta discovering the stashed gold in his closet only twenty years after) though it remains funny(especially at the last in the cricket match). The movie is ably directed and executed. The songs are average. It's not a bad way to spend a couple of hours.
HeadleyLamarr A cute film about a simple village school teacher Sundar (Shahrukh Khan) who is duped by his friend and robbed of all his belongings in Mumbai. He ends up in a graveyard and causes the "resurrection" of a ghost Marco (Naseeruddin Shah). Marco, a die hard criminal, was killed by his henchman Kunta (Tinnu Anand) the day after his wedding as he wished to renounce his bad ways and return the spoils of his crimes. Now Sundar is Marco's connection to the real world and his only way to redemption and eventual release. Along the way Sundar falls in love with Mala (Urmila Matondkar) and helps her and her grandfather (Shammi Kapoor) save their college from Kunta's greed. Who is Mala? Will Marco get his revenge? Watch Chamatkar to find out.The story is simple and familiar with some new twists added in. The young couple are super cute - Shahrukh looks and lives the simple good soul Sundar, Naseer is amazing as ever, Urmila is vivacious. Ashutosh Gowarikar has a meaty role as one of the bad guys. Shammi Kapoor is immense but still entertaining. The film has some good songs - my favorite was Is Pyar Se Meri Taraf Na Dekho, Pyar Ho Jaayega - funny and melodious. The only thing that prevents me from rating this film better is the atrocious fashion show song and dance spectacle. Other than that this is a sweet, simple entertainer with a lesson. It is possible to redeem yourself and simple goodness can make good things happen.
Biswajit Tripathy Chamatkar means Magic. As the name suggests this movie is full of magical instances. Sunder a teacher by profession wanted to relocate to Dubai. He paid a money to a friend asking him to help him out. He travels to Mumbai to collect his ticket and passport. Reaching there he understands that he has been betrayed by his friend. Soon he is lost among all those crowds and the city. Hopelessly moving here and there he reaches a graveyard. There he meets the ghost of Marcos played by Naseer. Marcos wants his help to catch some killers who had killed him.With his help he gets a job as a coach in a college. Trustee of this college is the father-in-law of Marcos. All of them help Marcos to settle scores with his killers and moves to heaven.Though the film was a flop, but it was enjoyed a lot by peoples. Naseer & Shahrukh made a great pair in this movie. Urmila was so so. She needs a good director to show her skills. Watch Rangeela of RGV. Story is nice as well as songs. In all, this is a pleasant movie.
