Do dooni char

This movie has been directed by Habib Faisal and is his first.  Kudos to him for such a fine film for his directorial debut.
This movie is very real, fresh and light hearted. Yes, now that I think about it, is there any movie that spells out the facts of life, the hardships a middle class family faces, and yet is light hearted? None I think. But this movie is different.


It is a story about the Duggals and how they finally buy a four wheeler. Mr. Duggal is a professor, and his income is meagre (as is the case with most in the teaching profession). His wife left her job to take care of kids. He has two children. A daughter, who has finished junior college and has dreams of being rich and owning the poshest possible car. The son, is studying in school but has dreams of a millionaire. 


So, this family is going through its own ups and downs, squabbles, problems etc etc, when Mr Duggal's sister comes to invite them for a wedding. She insists "car mein aana aap log, varna mere sasural wale kya bolenge" So typical of India right? So this is what finally, a little indirectly though triggers the "I will buy a four wheeler" saga.


All the actors have done a brilliant job. Rishi Kapoor, Neetu Singh, Archit Krishna, Aditi Vasudev. The direction is good. Cinematography good. Background score nice. There is a little melodrama towards the end, but I guess that much is bearable.


All in all its a must watch, once. Its a different movie and I'm sure you will enjoy it!
