Has
your life taken a drastic change due to
a single person? I can actually mind read
the thousands who are right now browsing
their life history to find the person
who did (seriously!). For how many has
it been a complete stranger or a guest?
A person that has changed your life for
better or worse. Ashwini Dheer the director
has taken one such incident to tell a
sweet, cute little story which can be
relished by the whole family.
The story is about an urban savvy couple,
living with their 6-year-old son. Their
life seems to be going quite smoothly
when they are visited by a relative from
the countryside. But the guest is not
in a mood to pack his bag and the couple
is unable to cope with the fourth entrant
in their family. The couple tries all
the tricks in the book but all it does
is backfire. Will the Atithi ever leave?

The story is not new as many movies in the past have
dealt with such an issue; yet Ashwini Dheer’s
direction make even the predictable enjoyable. You
hardly can point a finger on his direction but the
predictability of the screenplay and the finale which
looks too preachy and unfinished are a big dampener.
The scene in which Paresh sings Beedi Jalayle as a
bajaan, the scene in which Ajay is arrested, Konkana’s
over crying backfires and you can just go on and on,
as there are several enjoyable moments in the movie.
But unfortunately there are very few laugh-a-loud
moments. But the dialogues have made sure that we
bear a smile all through.
Technically, the movie is decent with simple yet clean
cinematography, brilliant animation, sharp and focused
editing and very funny and effective musical score
aptly assisted by lyricist. It is a good team work
altogether.
The main reason for the movie to work is its cast,
Ajay Devgn and Konkana Sen have both lived their roles
and look extremely comfortable together. But, as rightly
guessed, the movie belongs to Paresh Rawal and he
is phenomenal. A legend in the true sense. Sanjay
Mishra, Mukesh Tiwari, Satish Kaushik and all the
other co-stars have eased through their characters
with utmost dignity and respect.
Overall - a complete family entertainer. It is not
perfect but who is complaining? Two hours of clean
and healthy fun.
Verdict:
A comedy from the heart.
