This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

David Dhawan does what he should have done ages ago, ditches Govinda and takes three brilliant actors and makes Chashme Baddoor (CD). In CD, he does what he does best, makes people laugh out their bones. CD is a remake of some South movie.CD has a simple yet nice story for a comedy. The screenplay is an achievement. The dialogues are a further achievement. "If you cant change the girl, change the girl" is surely picking in the college campuses. The shaayaris are funny and the best part being that you cant predict them.Ali Zafar plays the honest guy in today's generation with brilliant technique. Siddharth plays his lovable character so naturally that he gets the maximum attention in the frame. Divyendu Sharma has made his career by playing this incredible shaayar. Actually all three roles were extremely difficult. but with David Dhawan's leadership, it seems like a cakewalk. Anupam Kher and Rishi Kapoor are enjoyable as always. Tapsee Pannu as Neha is cute and very pretty in her role.The music is very good. Ishq Moohallah and Har Ek Friend Kamina Hota Hai are the favorites. The cinematography is colorful.Chashme Baddoor is a youthful joy ride. Its a must watch and definitely one of the best comedies of all time!

Chashme Baddoor was one of the disappointing film which had good comic timings and hilarious moments but was saddened by weak direction and terrible script.Sid , Jai and Omi are best buddies cum room-mates. Enters Neha, a chirpy, lovable neighbor who just moved into her uncle's house. Womanizers Jai and Omi try their luck to woo the girl but fails miserably. Surprisingly , she gets attracted to the third room-mate. Jai and Omi scheme up idea to split the love-birds so that they can avenge their failure.Directed by veteran David Dhawan , Chashme Baddoor was one of the movie I was looking forward to see this year but was thoroughly disappointed with loud comedy , bothering songs and terrible screenplay. Direction wise David Dhawan is not in form. He chose to remake a classic but made it a complete waste. It is Divyendu Sharma and Siddarth who makes the movie fun-to-watch at times. They are top-rated and gives their best to keep you entertained.Overall , It can be viewed once if you are looking for some entertainment. Best to avoid it. Average 2.5/5

Don't judge a film by its poster, a bright spark on the screen reminds the audience rather helpfully. We know, buddy. But what if the book turns out to be worse than the cover? Actually, it isn't quite that simple out here either way: neither the poster nor the film is worth wasting any considered judgment on.David Dhawan's Chashme Baddoor is a raggedy bag of gags as flimsy as the boxers that the three buddies strut around in – they are full of colour all right but add little value to the canvas. Intended to be a breezy comic romp, the film is woefully short of wind in its sails despite all the bluff and bluster that it whips up. The cult classic of 1981 that is still vividly etched in our collective memories receives the OTT Double D (over the top David Dhawan) treatment but isn't even half the fun that Sai Paranjpye's witty and infectiously mirthful Chashme Buddoor was.Note the difference in spelling. Dhawan spells Baddoor with an 'a' – it adds up to too 'bad' and too far gone to be genuinely enjoyable. Paranjpye had settled for a 'u' in her Buddoor – her film had instant 'universal' appeal. This ill-advised remake is less adult than asinine. Watch Chashme Baddoor by all means if you nurture no reverence for Hindi cinema's past, for whatever it is worth. Watch it for all the frenzied dancing, prancing and romancing that Dhawan unleashes to the accompaniment of Hindi film hits of the none- too-distant past, in addition to a slew of new musical numbers.For this critic, Chashme Baddoor does evoke a degree of nostalgia but not quite in the way one would expect. You hear SP Balasubramanyam's robust voice in a snatch of Dekha hai pehli baar and how you long for a return to the era of the great male singers who sounded male and not like some of the nasal, effeminate, monotonous wonders that rule the roost today!Ali Zafar, the film's lead actor who gets to sing a solitary peppy love ditty, comes pretty close to the tonal timbre of those great voices that once defined Hindi movie music. Unfortunately, amid the high-pitched din that this Chashme Baddoor delivers, these little delights are but stray straws in a wild gust. So, if you can't stand the unseemly sight of a pristine idea being mauled, battered and pulverized out of shape and beyond recognition, do yourself a favour and stay away from this laboured, loud and lowbrow rehash of a truly magnificent comedy.As a matter of fact, Chashme Baddoor doesn't deserve to be designated as a remake: it demolishes much more than it actually makes. Dhawan and his scriptwriter leave the core of the original storyline intact but tamper cavalierly with its essence. The result is anything but salutary. They yank the bum chums away from their culture-specific Delhi location and transport them to an indeterminate Goan setting. In the bargain, all prospects of carving a genuinely funny caper flick out of the material are driven to the ground and many feet under. It is one thing to seek to update a comic love story from a bygone era for present times. It's quite another to trifle with its spirit. Chashme Baddoor goes completely go off the rails in trying to eke out a laugh-a-minute ride by resorting to methods that one thought had gone out of currency with Govinda. Yes, there is something unconscionably twisted and misplaced about this Chashme Baddoor. The antics of the motor-mouth male trio at the centre of the rigmarole – Sid (Ali Zafar), Jai (Siddharth) and Omi (Divyendu Sharma) – border on the imbecile, and the one-liners that they direct at each other and at the world at large are delivered at decibel levels so high that that it could rattle even those that are hard of hearing.Sid is an introverted goody two-shoes who believes in playing safe, but his two pals – one a wannabe poet who spouts irritatingly silly rhymes, the other a movie-crazy city slacker in love with the idea of who he is – are incorrigible skirt-chasers who repeatedly land in trouble.The girl that they are out to woo, Seema (Taapsee Pannu), is no coy touch-me-not. On the run from an armyman dad (Anupam Kher) who wants her to marry a soldier, she seeks refuge in the Goa home of her civilian uncle (Anupam Kher again) and her spirited grandmother (Bharti Achrekar).The mayhem that ensues as a result of a series of mistaken identities and misadventures has a deleterious effect on Chashme Baddoor – it goes from bad to worse. Everyone, including a cafe owner called Joseph Furtado (Rishi Kapoor) and the object of his late-blooming desire, ageing spinster Josephine (Lilette Dubey), jumps into the pool of uncertainty.Subtlety certainly isn't the name of the game here. Wit is replaced by runaway buffoonery. As the humour assumes crude, if not lewd, overtones, the actors take the cue and ham away to glory. But to their credit, they shriek, holler, run around in circles and make a spectacle of themselves and yet manage to stay on their feet for the most part. Wish one could say the same about the film as a whole.If the original was a soothing and timeless melody, this is a raucous and forgettable item number. Give it a shot if you must, but don't expect the world from it.

I just saw this movie on Karachi, Pakistan. It seems very good movie for me. There was a lot of comedy and chill. The film stars Ali Zafar, Siddharth, Taapsee Pannu and Divyendu Sharma did a very good job on this movie. I would say It was just awesome movie in 2013. As, we all know about Mr. Ali Zafar. He is a good actor and also a very good singer. I liked Sonu song "Har Ek Friend Kamina Hota Hai" :) Wonderful song I would say. I would also say Thanks to Sir David Dhawan. He really did a fabulous job. I will give you 10 ratings to this awesome movie. Actually, This is a story of three good friends Siddharth Kashyap , Jai and Omkar alias Omi and how two of them really try to create a wedge between the third friend and his girlfriend. I would suggest you all please see this movie with your family Its really a family movie.
