Khatta Meetha: This is no gourmet feast
“Khatta Meetha” raises a few laughs and also manages pointed homilies on the state of the nation.
It is about municipal officers and builders but is no “Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro” — either in subtlety, sarcasm or slapstick.
The actors and their characters are funny but too one-dimensional and obvious like the digitally-created elephant in this movie.
But it’s still a Priyadarshan film all the way — incredible as usual with even a few deaths thrown in.
