The story of Gulabo Sitabo goes like this. Chunnan 'Mirza' Nawab (Amitabh Bachchan), popularly known as Mirza, is a very cunning, sharp minded, active, and greedy old man who keeps stealing small items from the Haveli to get some money in lieu of that from the market. His wife, Fatima Begum (Farrukh Jaffar), popularly known as Begum, is 17 years older than Mirza. Begum owns a big old Haveli in Lucknow. The Haveli is in a very poor condition. Besides Mirza and Begum living in the Haveli are various other tenants to whom their respective rooms have been leased out to them. Most of them are not even paying the rent for various reasons. Begum wants to sell this property and puts Mirza on the job to find some appropriate buyer. Mirza is desperately waiting for Begum to die so that he becomes the owner of the property. Baankey Rastogi (Ayushmann Khurrana) lives in the same Haveli in one of the rooms with him three sisters and mother.
There is a consistent tussle between Mirza and Baankey because Baankey never pays the rent of his room and keeps giving convincing reasons for that. Mirza wants Baankey to leave the room and move somewhere else but all in vain.
Overall, the story of Gulabo Sitabo is fast and engaging. It's a good entertaining, lightweight, comedy film performed very well by all the artists. A must-watch if you haven't so far.
Thanks for the recommendation. Will surly check if its online.
ReplyDeleteYes, sure. Definitely you still find it. I think, it's there on Amazon.
DeleteI was fascinated by the trailer of Gulabo Sitabo and watched it pretty early. It's a good watch, I recommend.
ReplyDeleteYes. It's quite different from the regular ones.
DeleteSomehow, after watching a few initial scenes, I have not been motivated to watch further- though I wanted so much to watch it given brilliant actors like Ayushman and Amitabh are featured in it. Now with your recommendation I will give it another shot. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, give it another try. The same happened with me too. Initially, I watched a little of it and then exited. But I found it good and worth watching later.
