#MunnaMangeMembsaab(Hindi)
Rating: * The abuse of a naïve actor #OmkarDasManikpuri continues. After the
miserable #Ibn-e-batuta comes yet another disastrous outing- only this time
it’s worse. No story to tell, no acting to speak of. Just hoping to fly on the
wings of senseless ambition. It’s an
unworthy one sentence story idea of an ugly guy wanting to marry a memsahib, just
because his mother says so- which has been given too much runtime and reel
space than it deserves. The implosion was expected! #AshwaniShukla #AltairMedia

Small films sneak out of the wood work during lean season. So this
week too sees a couple of films bordering on the rancid striving for screen
space. ‘Munna Mange Memsaab’ as the moniker so obviously suggests is about an
ugly duckling who wants to grow up and marry a swan. It’s an unpalatable twist
to a fairy tale and gets more ugly in the telling of it.
The germ of the idea was sown by Munna’s mother(Himani Shivpuri
hamming it all the way) when he was a mere child. As an adult, he(Omkar Das
Manikpuri) moves to the city in search of his Mem. And every woman he meets
gets propositioned by him in the first few minutes of their encounter. Needless
to say most of the women slap him and send him packing till he gets hold of a
cycle rickshaw parked outside a five star hotel. And a Gori Memsahib walks out
and seeks his services to tour the city. She is the first woman he doesn’t proposition
on sight and she is also the first woman who shows him some touchy-feely
affection which he mistakes as love. Her time in the city ends and she returns
to her country. Munna is heart broken but soon enough a famous actress becomes
his benefactor and gets conveniently murdered thereafter. And Munna has to face
the music.
It’s not much of a story. The script is riddled with holes and
defies logic. The wayward plotting is inexplicable. This entire project appears
to have been borne out of greed and unedifying ambition. There are no skills on
display here. Just a whole lot of ineptitude.
Omkar Das Manikpuri may have been severely desperate to have kept
compromising his hard earned stature(Peepli Live) for this kind of wasteful
enterprise. This film is so tedious and exhausting that it wont be considered fit
even for TV or straight-to-video viewing!
