new delhi: finally, the year 2016 is all set to witness a comedy film which looks a bit uncanny but equally hilarious at the same time. here, we are talking about upcoming bollywood release' saat uchakkey' .
saat uchakkey was originally supposed to release in 2012 / 2013, however was shelved after the indian censor board objected to the amount of profanity in the film and had ordered 90 cuts to be made. it was finally released in 2016 .
saat uchakkey clearly aspires to rise above absurdity for absurdity’s sake, but the writing is not strong enough to pull off the depth it is aiming at (as is evident from that scene in which a divine being appears to the seven central characters) .
actors manoj bajpayee, anupam kher, kay kay menon, annu kapoor, vijay raaz are coming up with a hilarious treat for bollywood fans - saat uchakkey brings them all together in one film. the first trailer of the film directed by sanjeev sharma was released late monday .
actors manoj bajpayee, anupam kher, kay kay menon, annu kapoor, vijay raaz and jatin sarna are coming up with a hilarious treat for bollywood fans - saat uchakkey brings them all together in one film. the first trailer of the film directed by sanjeev sharma was released late monday .
if you want to brush up on your north indian slang and replenish your vocabulary of choice abuses and insults, then saat uchakkey is just the ticket. writer - director sanjeev sharma’s debut film is chaotic and crude, with seasoned talents like manoj bajpayee, kay kay menon, annu kapoor, vijay raaz and anupam kher sucked into the ridiculous .
trailer of ‘saat uchakkey’ which translates to seven thieves is out and you’ll surely find it absolutely hilarious. specially, vijay raaz of ‘bombay to goa’ fame will make you laugh out loud. the film stars manoj bajpayee, vijay raaz, kay kay menon, anupam kher, annu kapoor and aditi sharma. film is directed by debutant director sanjeev sharma .
saat uchakkey is the story of seven small time crooks who not only take great pride in themselves but also come together in the hope of hitting it big – finding hidden treasure – to be precise. pappi (manoj bajpayee) and his desire to wed sona (aditi sharma) leads him through many shortcuts to diwan’s (anupam kher) old haveli and stories of a buried treasure. add to the hotchpotch characters such as bichhi (annu kapoor) a raving lunatic set free, dishonest cop tejpal (kay kay menon) and god, and you get a taste of the madness called saat uchakkey. while we’re all for tales of mughal stashes hidden in old delhi mansions, we tried really hard (and failed) to detect a plot .
verdict: a funny film that could' ve been so much more. saat uchakkey, which was supposed to have its theatrical release back in 2014 finally sees the light of day. this sanjeev sharma flick, which is filmed entirely in the bylanes of the country' s capital, is the story of seven eccentric individuals who have a thing or two [ ] ...
saat uchakkey is a comedy caper about 7 petty crooks blundering their way through an exciting gamut of mystery, greed, treachery and running into one riotous crisis after another. set against the gritty backdrop of old delhi, this burlesque film opens a window into the unpredictable world of magical realism, where the lingo is spattered with the choicest of swear words and the mannerisms with sidesplitting humor .
it takes more than a great concept though to make a great film, and at some point saat uchakkey loses itself in self - indulgence. the abuses that flow off the vile tongues of these bizarre people, for instance, are initially believable. as time moves on though, too many ugly words feel like they have been forced into the dialogues for effect – as it happens, to jarring effect .
saat uchakkey ropes in music director abhishek ray of paan singh tomar and welcome back fame for its soundtrack. well, in all fairness the soundtrack is well - composed even if the chaos on screen quite takes away any interest the soundtrack may generate. the songs of the movie were released by t - series and form quite a nice medley. in keeping with the setting, expect anything between an item number and a classical melody .
saat uchakkey is a new upcoming movie which is based on comedy and drama story. this movie will released on 14th october 2016 in india. this movie is written and directed by sanjeev sharma. raju chadha is the producer of this movie which is one of the famous producer in bollywood. this movie will be very famous in bollywood because it is coming with very comedy and interesting story and very talented actor have playing a great a role .
the spoken lines (credited to director sharma) are a metaphor for saat uchakkey as a whole: energetic, side - splittingly comedic and convincing at first, revved up and raring to go, but failing to lift off in its entirety. i confess i spent a considerable part of this film giggling to myself and enjoying the performances of the wonderful lead cast (each one them), but i also left the theatre with a feeling of incompleteness .
saat uchakkey revolves around the amoral pappi’s keenness to get rich quick and marry his girlfriend sona (aditi sharma). he is not alone in his desire to cut corners in life. his partners in crime are keysmith haggu (nitin bhasin), metalsmith khappe (aparshakti khurana), knick - knacks seller babbe (jatin sarna), a gambler called ajji (vipul vig) and the multi - talented petty criminal jaggi (vijay raaz). they are the seven rogues of the title .
god who may be mad, an anupam kher who lives in a haveli a muslim woman claims is hers, and a kalawati who exists only in dreams. there is more going on in sanjeev sharmas saat uchakkey than meets the eyes and, yes despite the censors objections the ears. sift through the abuses, those that have survived 90 cuts and a three - year wait for release, and the film is a delightful slice of life from that new pet haunt of filmmakers, old delhi .
god who may be mad, an anupam kher who lives in a haveli a muslim woman claims is hers, and a kalawati who exists only in dreams. there is more going on in sanjeev sharma’s saat uchakkey than meets the eyes and, yes — despite the censor’s objections — the ears. sift through the abuses, those that have survived 90 cuts and a three - year wait for release, and the film is a delightful slice of life from that new pet haunt of filmmakers, old delhi .
maybe a one time watch. that is, if you love the cast for its promise and old delhi for its ability to shock and surprise you despite its familiarity. and do catch this flick only if your appetite for cuss words is a robust one. given that this has an a rating from the censor board, it is best not to let kids anywhere near the theatre where saat uchakkey is playing. director sharma had the ingredients for a biryani, but ended up with a poorly made khichdi .
the film title – saat uchakkey (seven loafers) – builds up an expectation. and the cast including some very well - known names such as manoj bajpayee, anupam kher, annu kapoor, and kay kay menon, deliver us exactly what was promised. a light comedy with more than generous use of expletives. director sanjeev sharma’s directorial debut is meant to give us a fun two hours in the theatres, but the fact that the movie took over three years and over 90 snips from the censor board’s scissor must warn you .
bajpayee’s defining quality as an actor – the ability to lose himself in the people he plays – is the highlight of the week’s bollywood release, saat uchakkey. like pappi, director sanjeev sharma’s film too is cracked, colourful, crude, intentionally loud and insanely over the top. everyone in the story is slightly if not completely nuts, the actors are so unaffected that they come across as non - actors drawn from these streets by casting director vicky sidavv, and the filmmaker seems to be having a blast as he takes us through chaotic and crowded purani dilli .
despite an ensemble of strong performers, saat uchakkey comes across as chaotic, crazy and crass. sanjeev sharma’s endeavour to achieve a slightly offbeat comedy of errors style flick falls flat. except for the authenticity of the settings (the tapering bylanes of old delhi) and the fact that there exist people who lavish their language with swear words, nothing much seems realistic about the movie. sharma has allowed the movie to run beyond endurance. so much so that one starts to wonder what kept up the 3 year long battle between the producers and the central board of film certification (cbfc) .
saat uchakkey takes a while to get used to. we start off at a psychiatric ward with a cryptic character called bichhi (annu kapoor) who, i quickly rationalised for myself, is some kind of a fraud / hypnotist holding people in thrall with his mumbo jumbo. he calls himself god and it’s all very complicated. but then let it rest. moving on from here, everyone in the institution, including the doctor, turns out to be insane and loud. after a while, as more and more characters start getting introduced, you begin chuckling at the all - pervasive lunacy and start tuning in to the raucous tone. but only for a bit. as it happens with most of our films, things fall apart rather rapidly because of the lack of a good spine called the script .
ayushmann’s brother aparshakti khuranna and aditi sharma will also be seen in the movie. sharma was last seen in ladies vs riicky bahl (2011) .
the two - and - a - half - minute trailer is crass and chaotic but vijay raaz, manoj bajpayee, kay kay and jatin sarna keep us hooked. while some of the trailer is funny, the entire package does not quite sustain the laughs. however, given the diverse cast of the movie, we hope the film will be better than the trailer .
the film revolves around seven thieves and their robbery plan. manoj bajpayee will be seen in the movie in a comic avatar after his serious roles in aligarh and traffic. kay kay menon will be seen as a cop in the movie according to the reports, the filmmakers had faced some problems with censor board but problem got resolved soon. perhaps so many abuses aka ‘gaalis’ in the movie would have been the problem to censor board. well! the movie is all set to release on october 14 this year. check out the trailer here :

over - the - top: the film even makes you lose patience with the performances of its strong cast. —photo: special arrangement
with its raw lingo and dirty talk, the film is deliberately politically incorrect and inappropriate, obviously aiming to be disconcerting. the foul - mouthed characters, their relationships, friendships, and banter seem real to start with. where the film loses out on is the meandering, pointless, stretched - out plot and an exhausting, weird finale. the foul - mouthed repartee starts off rather matter of factly, veers a bit towards intentional irreverence, but soon becomes all for the heck of it, a bad case of exhibitionism. for instance, pappi referring to sona as kutiya (bitch) may seem affectionate and endearing to start with, but soon becomes too hammered in, insufferable and offensive. the film even makes you lose patience with its strong cast, as they go way too over the top .

story: seven petty crooks come together to find a hidden gold treasure buried in a purani haweli in delhi. the gang even manages to locate the monies but their conscience comes calling .
review: it is disheartening to see talented actors like manoj bajpayee and kay kay menon succumbing to playing lousy characters in a loud and absurd film that pretends to be funny. barring the authentic setting (narrow bylanes of old delhi), nothing really works in the film’s favour. bajpayee’s haircut is as hideous as the film’s dialogues. every line is either meaningless or laced with the choicest of cuss words and it all seems uncalled for. (read “never let his wonder steal your thunder, ” etc) every character wants to shove something or the other into somebody’s backside. characters are called pappi, jaggi, bichchi and haggu! yes, you heard the last one right .
what makes it further intolerable is the fact that the movie is full of incessant rambling with no concrete story or purpose per se. you wait patiently for things to move ahead at least in the second half but that never happens. the characters keep yacking and yacking and yacking, making the film seem like it lasted for seven hours instead of two. eventually, you stop stressing your mind and stop figuring out what could have possibly been the reason for this film’s existence .
vijay raaz and kay kay menon still manage to stand out with their comic timing. anupam kher plays an insignificant cameo and anu kapoor’s confusing character is open to individual interpretation. bajpayee’s misogynist character turns out to be one of his most terrible roles. he calls his girlfriend (aditi sharma) ‘kutiya’ and often gets physical with her because he truly loves her! she enjoys his lecherous advances too .
we have no clue what was the director’s vision behind this film but his execution has gone awfully wrong. please skip it, unless you want to subject yourself to some mental torture .

shah rukh khan and anubhav sinha keen to make' ra. one' sequel ?
the gang manages to sneak into the mansion and even spot the gold treasure. however, bichchi appears there miraculously and poses as god. he hypnotises the thieves and makes them conscious of their wrongdoings. they all have a change of heart. tejpal surrenders the treasure to the police station. pappi marries sona .

however, it’s not the old delhi of just pigeon contests, closely knit houses and kite - flying, with red fort and jama masjid alternatively peeping over the horizon. sharma’s old delhi is rather about the old ghosts and new dreams which co - exist here so organically, one feeding off the other, one fuelling the other. it’s about men who make a living “making antique idols”, or keys for “90 - year - old iron locks”; the men who hawk wooden snakes alternatively as “engineering craft” or “sexual toy” to hassled but polite foreigners; the lawyers who fix cases through skinny, knife - wielding boys barely standing upright; and cops who must find order amidst this all. it’s also about the women who find their way through this, giving back as good as they get .
there are few ways out of this maze of narrow lanes, kachauris, card games, and hand - to - mouth survival. and one of the first offered to pappi (manoj bajpayee) and company is a blithe deal: “bijli churani hai”, they are told over roadside tea. the second is more esoteric, in the form of a lunatic, bichchi (annu kapoor), of mythical reputation. in bichchi’s mutterings, pappi sees the promise of a hidden treasure in that contested haveli of the diwan (anupam kher) .
where gods co - exist snugly with “item numbers” organised for purnima, day begins with a flower - seller setting shop for kaali puja, a dacoity must take into account the neighbourhood mosque, mourners break into a dance, and havelis come with mughal lineage, nothing is impossible .
manoj bajpayee as pappi; aditi sharma as pappi’s resourceful love and the neighbourhood heartthrob sona; vijay raaz as jaggi, the lawyer with a waistcoat, a ponytail, and that undulating henchman; and kay kay menon as daroga tejpal keeping the order while nursing a secret love for sona, are all excellent. annu kapoor as the narrator / god can’t help his dramatics, but anupam kher is just over - the - top .
sadly though, director sharma (who has worked earlier in peepli live, raghu romeo) lets the film drag to an exhausted and stretched ending. a film with such a sure touch didn’t need this heavy hand .
there is a moment in the short film taandav that went viral on youtube early this year, in which a policeman watches a video of himself doing a frenzied dance in full uniform on a mumbai road. his face melts into a confused mix of amusement and embarrassment. manoj bajpayee is nowhere to be seen in that middle - class, middle - aged maharashtrian cop .
in aligarh, which was released three weeks later, when a reporter asks professor shrinivas ramchandra siras of aligarh muslim university about his male lover, the old man looks away shyly, withdrawing further into his slouching figure. manoj bajpayee is nowhere to be seen in that gray - haired academic in an ill - fitting suit .
and now, on a moonlit night in the darkened corridor of an old delhi haveli, a shalwar - clad pappi stands with his foot on a balcony railing as he peers into the courtyard below. he is an intruder in a wealthy home, his thin body alert yet comically poised for flight, and in one brief shot he conveys everything that his character is: all bluff and bluster and limited guts. manoj bajpayee is nowhere to be seen in this foul - mouthed small - time crook either .
in the first half, sandeep saket’s screenplay draws neat, well - defined sketches of each of the seven in addition to their bête noir, the local policeman tejpal (kay kay menon) who is smitten by sona. when this disparate group comes together, they are hilarious and hold out a promise of brilliance. when john jacob payyapalli’s camera snakes its way through the bylanes of the old city, it entices us into their world .
the opening scenes in a mental institution, the presence in the story of the hypnotist / fraud / mad man bichchi (annu kapoor), the art design and the beautifully shot scenes in a dungeon in the second half give the film an interesting mystical - mythical air .
nothing illustrates this better than pappi’s use of kutiya (bitch) as a term of endearment for sona and her unblinking response. yes, the street lingo of india’s capital is often steeped in profanity, but it becomes easy to tell when abuse comes naturally to a character in this film and when the writing is saying, “hey, see how clever i am. be impressed with my use of invective. i’m so smart and outrageous, no? ”
god is as crazy as us humans and / or possibly a figment of our imagination; s / he is what we want her / him to be and / or is playing games with us, we are told. point taken. now take it further, please. this is a film that could have been a lot more than it ends up being – it obviously wants to be more .
what if ocean’s eleven was set in the narrow lanes of old delhi? what if, instead of the suave, sophisticated danny ocean and rusty ryan, you had good - for - nothing dilli laundas in charge of a heist? the sort who while away their days doing odd jobs or not very much at all, try to hit on neighbourhood girls, crack lewd jokes, and swear twice per sentence .
“ maa ki gaali mat dena b * * * * * * * d, ” says gang - leader apparent pappi (manoj bajpayee). and just that one line could very well define the movie. it’s crass, yes. but given the setting and the characters, it’s not incredible. and you can’t deny that it is funny .
but debut director sanjeev sharma wraps it in a rather disconnected, and unnecessary, tale replete with spiritual mumbo - jumbo. the two stories are so jarringly incongruent, it’s like watching characters (just one character, in this case) from one film ran amok through another, appearing in random scenes, as if they’d wandered on to the wrong studio floor .
unfortunately, it is this peripheral story that opens the film. shot through a jazbaa - ish green filter, you meet bichchi (annu kapoor) in a mental asylum. he’s some sort of a legend, who can make people do his bidding, and he escapes after hypnotising one of the doctors. for the rest of the film, his job is to appear unexpectedly, ham, and deliver soliloquies perhaps meant to be absurd. he does achieve absurd. just not good absurd .
meanwhile, our intrepid heroes are putting together a team, like any good heist film. but instead of experts, they must make do with shady friends, and shadier acquaintances: the local locksmith, a crook who hangs about courts trying to rig petty cases, a tourist guide at red fort who sells tourists cheap wares as exotic. they have fitting names too, all pet names, presumably: pappi, jaggi (vijay raaz), sona (aditi sharma), khappe, babbe… you get the drift. given the ambition of their plan, they aren’t being chased by the police force, but just the honest local cop, tejpal (kay kay menon) .
it’s a solid cast. the sort that’d hold fort in any damn film. they’re nuanced when needed, crass and loud and swearing their mouths off for the most part because that’s what has been asked for .
in its character portrayal, in capturing old delhi, in its cheap, but real, humour, is the film’s high point .
but it is wasted in a story that is too long, and that runs out of ideas during the actual heist. it devolves into a priyadarshan - ish comic climax, and uncalled - for divine intervention .
in the end, it has flavour, a seed of a good idea even, something mega - budget films often lack. but like our dilli laundas eleven, it lacks planning and execution .
the story follows seven no - hopers who become part of a slipshod plan to pull off a robbery, a get - rich - quick scheme of pappi jaatwala (manoj bajpayee). however, the film opens in a mental care facility where a newly recruited doctor is fascinated by a dangerous inmate called bichchi (annu kapoor), who’s rumoured to have mysterious powers. bichchi escapes and is next seen several scenes later, in the narrow lanes of old delhi, weaving his magic on these clueless robbers, and pappi in particular .
pappi and his magnificent men and one woman embark on an “ indiana jones and the temple of doom meets the mummy in inner delhi” kind of hunt, to find a treasure hidden within a disputed haveli in the neighborhood. the team includes pappi’s paramour sona (aditi sharma), jaggi (raaz), haggu (nitin bhasin), khappe (aparshakti khurana), babbe tashni (jatin sarna) and phodu (vipul vig). always a step behind is the local cop, tejpal (kay kay menon), who happens to hold a candle for sona. kher plays the slightly cuckoo owner of the controversial haveli .
do the far - from - magnificent seven pull off the heist? let’s save the spoilers. suffice to say, the climax does come with a twist but it’s wholly unsatisfying and a tad convenient. the one highlight is the way the actors embrace these characters, banter easily and show relish for those expletive - heavy lines .
good actors, a homely ‘purani dilli’ feel, music that complements the movie – all good but the completely whacked out story starts to quickly go sour, while the screenplay and presentation are downright ugly .
an indian. born a princess, now a storyteller. a conversationalist. an empath. a woman with strong opinions .
