Chupke Chupke (1975)
One of the greatest comedies of all time (Yes it is a remake of Bengali film Chadmabheshi but a worthy remake).
It is a very funny movie with great acting and hilarious situation but does the whole premise make any sense?
Why would anyone in their sane mind make such elaborate practical joke that creates unnecessarily problems. Had Professor Parimal Tripathi ended his joke on time, Professor Sukumar would have got married in a conventional way without eloping with the girl. The whole marriage charade was unnecessary as a love marriage got subsumes as the climax of a setup.
Why were so many people involved in joking with the old man. Professor Tripathi wanted to show his wife his superiority over her jijaji but what about Asrani ? And Sukumar? At the end of the day we enjoyed the process but did anyone get anything out of the whole joke? Practically speaking the Professors spent their time, vacation daysz effort and energy and money just to play a prank on jijaji!! And at the end of it the jijaji will have to content with James as the driver!!
On a side note, I have never seen so many botany students outside this film!! Somehow all the students turn out to be studying Botany!!
