This movie is very underrated, it is very uncommon for a film in Bollywood to cover so many genres in a one single movie, I don't like mainstream Bollywood movies but this. this movie is perfect. backed up with awesome comedy, satire, action and superb acting by all the actors, this movie is off the level. i don't know why it is rated very low and i feel sorry for the people who don't like this movie and rather watch typical Bollywood crap, akshay kumar, rajpal yadav and several other supporting cast has done very well, this movie depicts the condition of our government offices and workers quite well, it is surprising for a movie in Bollywood to show a serious topic of society with comedy in it.

Khatta Meetha,directed by Priyadarshan is a painful watch.The film deals with corruption in India in a comical way.The story has been told many times in several movies.Secondly,the jokes just do not bring smile on your face.Barring one or two.Priyadarshan,who is known to make comedy hits such as Hera Pheri,Hungama etc. does a bad job this time.The music is average.Performance wise-Johnny Lever and Asrani in brief roles are superb.Akshay Kumar,please quit doing comedy movies.Trisha fails.Rajpal Yadav,Tinnu Anand,Neeraj Vora and Manoj Joshi shout throughout the movie.Urvashi Sharma is weird.Kulbhushan and Aruna acted much better in 70's movies.Overall Khatta Meetha is bad.

I watched Khatta Meetha this weekend. I was totally disappointed. There were too many plots and sub plots. 1. The sister's treatment and death was handled very badly. 2. Akshay's character and his family are supposed to be based in 'satara'. Most of the characters, like his dad, himself and the sister talk in heavy 'punjabi' accent...there was just no authenticity in the movie. 3. When the road roller breaks Trisha's house, beyond that one scene, there was no feeling of despair and a couple of scenes later the house is totally intact, like nothing happened to it.I like Trisha in the Tamil movies, but here she could barely act or emote.Overall a very disappointing flick.

Priyadarshan's 'Khatta Meetha' is a Below Average fare, that suffers from poor writing. It fails to become a satisfactory comic satire in every aspect.'Khatta Meetha' is a yet another flick that goes on to say that 'Honesty' always wins, and 'Dishonesty' doesn't. How the truth still weighs tons more than lies. Been-There-Done-That Stuff! The film begins well, but loses the grip completely after a point. The second hour holds scant appeal, and one gets lazy till it reaches it's culmination. The writing is bland, and as mentioned, fails to become a satisfactory comic satire. Priyadarshan's direction is just about okay.Acting wise, Akshay Kumar does well, but he's repeating himself. Trisha Krishnan doesn't impress. Rajpal Yadav & Makrand Deshpande are very good. Urvashi Sharma is wasted. Kulbhushan Kharbanda is alright. Johnny Lever manages to bring in a few laughs. Manoj Joshi, Milind Gunaji & Jaideep Ahlawat ham. Neeraj Vora gets zero scope.On the whole, A disappointment by all means. Thumbs Down!
