What do you do when your entire family is against the
bride of your choice? Do you replace your family? Or do
you replace the bride? Or do you make an aloo-chaat of
your life?
Aloo Chaat’s story begins with Nikhil (Aftab Shivdasani)
who returns from the USA to his Punjabi household in
Lajpat Nagar, Delhi after completing his education.
Performance wise, Aftab and
the lovely Aamna do their best to pull the strings
together with their performance. Ably supported by the
the supporting cast Kulbushan, Sanjay Mishra and Manoj
Pahwa who come up with some really interesting
performances to provide some life to the movie.
Yet it is nothing new in the concept, which still has
few spots when we have some laughter and comedy of
errors with plots within sub-plots, with wisecracks
dripping endlessly.

His orthodox father Purushottam (Kulbhushan Kharbanda),
grandmother Beeji (Dolly Ahluwalia) who suspects him to
be a gay, confused mother Seeto (Meenakshi Sethi) and an
always suspicious uncle Chhadami Mama (Sanjay Mishra)
want him to get married.
Nikhil refuses to marry any
girl his parents show him, which has them worried about
their son's attitude. Nikhil on the other hand loves Aamna
(Aamna Sharif), a Muslim girl living in America.
Knowing that his orthodox family will never approve his
choice, Nikhil decides to take a detour and approaches
Papaji's close friend Hakim (Manoj) who is also a
sexologist. Together, they decide to get in Aamna and try
to sketch a plan so that she can win the hearts of the
family while Nikhil pretends to create ruckus by marrying
a 'Gori' girl (Linda). Whether the plot is successful or
not forms the rest of the story.
It is has a simple narrative and the presentation part is
fine. It has some soulful music with some melodious tunes
and then good work from the camera department.
