Sadda Adda Movie Reviews

Now this is a coincidence. This week's SADDA ADDA as well as TUTIYA DIL seem inspired, to an extent, by last year's sleeper hit PYAAR KA PUNCHNAMA. Not TUTIYA DIL as much, actually. But one can draw parallels between PYAAR KA PUNCHNAMA and SADDA ADDA for sure. Thankfully, one can't label SADDA ADDA as a mere imitation, since the film has its moments of sunshine and glory. Like most films that focus on Gen X, one may assume that SADDA ADDA falls

SADDA ADDA is a decent attempt, but will have to rely on a strong word of mouth to sustain.

The setting is a café in Delhi. The girl, a reasonably hot one, eyes the boy sitting at a table across. There are two boys on that table in fact. The wrong one collects the signal, goes after her as she leaves. He realises it’s his buddy she was giving “line” to. She tells him so. That other fellow then runs after her BMW. She stops, sort of exults, “I’ll patao him,” and does. He drinks with his buddies at night, “Bandi phas gayi (I netted the girl)!

The coming-of-age tale of six young kids with diverse ambitions kick start their professional lives together from an apartment they share in Delhi; yes Sadda Adda may sound a lot like that other film releasing this week, Tutiya Dil, but has however, a universal appeal and is the more inclusive of the two. One wants to become an actor but he's got way too much attitude, another needs to pass the IAS exam but he's not good enough; the third desperately

Bollywood has had a pretty good record with boy bonding movies. After 3 Idiots, Pyar Ka Punchnama almost hit the mark. Sadda Adda could have made it too, but unfortunately it falters in execution and hence fails to entertain like its successful predecessors. The story revolves around six young fellas sharing a bachelor pad. Safal (Parimal Aloke), the only simpleton in the gang, is preparing for the Civil Services Exams, while the naughty bunch consists of Rajat

SADDA ADDA is a movie with the right intention. You could call it a poor cousin of 3 IDIOTS. That itself should be a big boost to the makers for working on a theme which is positive in its approach to send out an optimistic message of hope. It also has shades of similarity with the 2007 film directed by Manoj Tyagi, MUMBAI SALSA. The movie is urban in its approach, with roots going back to small towns from where the central characters come from

The only thing that will stop you from fulfilling your dreams is you' is the point that writer-director Muazzam Beg tries to put across in his directorial debut Sadda Adda. And while he dreams of a well-intentioned coming-of-age story, what stops him from fulfilling his dream is his own self. His uneven direction and some average acts work against the merits of this intermittently engaging boy-bonding movie. Sadda Adda stands for a bachelor pad inhabited

The movie should strike the right chord with audience from within the college community and those who have just begun their professional career.

This one begins with a disclaimer: As long as you dare to dream (and as long as you remain focused), nothing can go wrong. Ironically, the script seems to lose focus from the very word go....Kabir dreams of being a worthy son with a good job, salary and wife. Safal hopes to crack the IAS code some day. Rajat is the hunky haryanvi who can't get over his Amrikan dreams. Irfan wants to make it big in the field of architecture and Sameer thinks theatre is his calling

‘The only thing that will stop you from fulfilling your dreams is YOU’. The credits open with this line and the audience is given an idea of what to expect. We are introduced to six young boys, Sameer, Kabeer, Safal, Irfan, Rajat and Jogi, who hail from different backgrounds, but have made Delhi their home. As they struggle to find a footing in their careers, they’re almost always making merry in their posh duplex that looks nothing less than the garbage truck that passes by your home

The boys are a fun lot but not fun enough to keep you entertained throughout. Skip this adda and pick up a DVD of Pyaar Ka Punchnama instead.
