Chopsticks movie review: Abhay Deol-Mithila Palkar Movie never gets up to its potential

You have undoubtedly had the opportunity to watch a movie and feel as if you had already seen the story, under a different title. On other occasions, you probably had the impression of knowing everything that was going to happen in the very first minutes of the movie.

But when a movie tries to come up with something really weird and new, you naturally take the time to deal with it (positively or negatively!). The last release of Netflix Chopsticks which is also the first Indian original movie about the streaming giant, gave me similar vibrations. This is one of the few films that springs from the wildest imagination that you do not think filmmakers would inspire.
Nirma Sahastrabuddhi (Mithila Palkar) is an introverted and confident Mandarin translator who strives to compete with her colleagues to get their boss's attention to seize larger opportunities at work. Although she is regular and proactive in her work, she ends up showing Dharavi and Dhobi Talao to foreign tourists. While his colleagues deal with international five-star bankers. Her less developed vocabulary ("out of work") and her poor pronunciation – she pronounces the letter "L" in Salmon – still constitute a formidable obstacle to her success.

She is also scared and uncomfortable in social relationships, until a tragedy causes him to get high and communicate with the people most random under the sun. Soon, she embarked on a thrilling adventure by recruiting an attractive artist, Mr. Artist (Abhay Deol) who eventually became his guide to get his car stolen from a thug in Mumbai.

Now everyone knows how good Abhay Deol is, but when he decides to go out and be carefree, no one seems more indifferent. Do I need to call you back Dev D ? Here, however, his charm is displayed in the right way, but unfortunately, the script does not allow him much to play it.

million. Artist is so cool that he can open any safe or lock without the keys. How? Well, he believes that every lock has a heart and he just needs to hear the heartbeat to open it. Deol is frankly hilarious in some scenes, but seems to have difficulty in some parts where the scenario does not offer him a line apart weird.

Deol's comic smile of complicity is attractive, and we soon see Nirma and Mr. Artist hanging on. go out, have fun and not admit to themselves or each other their increasing tenderness.

The director Sachin Yardi relies decently on the disconnection that results from being a foreigner in a foreign country for the character of Mithila, originally from Aurangabad. But anyway, this aspect never seems enough. Yardi decides to incorporate all the elements used in a typical sentimental comedy, but fails to give it a simple, natural and fluid look.

There is also a goat-loving gangster in the movie – played by Vijay Raaz, an exceptionally exceptional dog. However, his scenes are limited to giving strange punishments that might remind you of the characters of Anil Kapoor and Nana Patekar, Majnu and Uday Shetty, respectively, of the 2007 film Welcome . So, there is not much there either.

Palkar has matured to become an actress of shattering subtlety. It nicely embodies the alienation engendered by the strangeness of Mumbai. But the scenes where she feels anxious and where her hand trembles, while her face has not changed, do not seem convincing. If you saw Ritesh Batra's photograph it is possible that you find a number of similarities between Nirma and Sanya Malhotra's Miloni.

The baguettes use its principle to explore various themes. including loneliness, social phobia and romance. But he is only pretending to work towards a climax that is totally disappointing.
