For a long long time, i'd been wanting to write the review for this 'superb' movie. This is one movie i've seen over eight times, but whenever i find it airing on some channel,i simply forget evrything else on tv. So here it goes.
Khosla Ka Ghosla is a movie made on the land mafia and the suffering people have to face because of them. Brillantly scripted and directed, the rest of the brillance is shown by the fine performance by actors like Navin Nischol,Anupam Kher,Boman Irani,Tara Sharma,Vinay Pathak,Parvin Dabbas,Ranbir Shorey and the likes.
The Plot:
Kamal Khosla(Anupam Kher) is a government servant, who works hard to make a living. After saving money for years, he invests it in buying a plot from a property dealer Vijender. But his hardluck that he's bought this plot from a very dishonest property dealer. When he visits the plot, he finds that someone else had already occupied the plot and built on it. Later on, he fnds out that the dealer had duped him, and that land is in the ownership of a wealthy land mafialord Khurana(Boman Irani). The papers had been forged when Khosla was buying the plot, and so the papers he was in possession of were fraud.
Khosla tries many ways to get his plot back. He tries negotiating with Khurana, but he asks for 15 lac rupees, which he later reduces to 10 lacs. Khosla tres the polce, but they act more like a broker rather than a law enforcer,asking him to pay 10lacs and 2lacs as his share. It is the same story when he goes to the local MP and the NGO's, all of them want a share.
Khosla has two sons and a daughter. His elder son Cherry(Parvin Dabbas) is a software engineer planning to go to America for pursuing a better career and his younger son Balwant(Ranbr Shorey) is unemployed. On learning their father's plight, both Cherry and Balwant try to help him out. Balwant tries to help by getting some local wrestlers to get the land vacated. But in the process,Khosla gets arrested on Khurana's police complaint.
Looking at the plight,Cherry decided to contact his Visa agent Asif(Vinay Pathak), who had once asked him if he could assist in the matter. Cherry comes to know that Asif used to be Khurana's aide once upon a time,but was himself duped by Khurana who had took away all his ancestral property. Asif agrees to help him out. And in Asif's plan, Meghna(Tara Sharma) who is Cherry's girlfriend, and her father(Navin Nischol) help out. And whats Asif's plan - dupe Khurana, get money from him, and pay him that same money to free the plot.
The story then unwinds in the most hillarious way how they make a fool out of Khurana, get the money and get the plot.
Final Take:
The move is hillarious. The common man's story is just so interesting that you simply can't get your eyes off it. Made on a budget of Rs 26Lacs(thats 2.6 mill.), the movie is a humorous take on the grim situaton in the estate industry. Navin Nischol,Anupam Kher,Vinay Pathak, Parvin Dabbas have really given a tremendous performance. Rest actors have also done brilliant job. The music of the movie was a new trendsetter. Everything is brilliant.
For everything, i'd give 4.5 out of 5. A MUST WATCH movie
