Read the Exclusive Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana Movie Review

Everyone in ‘Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana’ speaks in Punjabi. Not the kind of exaggerated, colourised ‘zubaan’ of your average Bollywood potboiler. The everydayness of the language in this likeable film is one of its pleasures. As well as that it has been shot on real locations, not Bollywood’s idea of what a Punjabi’s ‘pind’ should be. So when Omi Khurana (Kapoor) returns after spending many years in ‘vilait’ (London), pretending to be a big shot when he is, in fact, quite the opposite, he runs into characters that are a great fit in Village Lalton.
His suspicious `chacha’s hair has turned from black to that awful auburn that` mehendi’ brings. His grandfather, universally known as ‘Daarji’ ( Nagpal), has lost his memory. His `chachi’ instantly starts feeding him. His cousin ( Bagga) clasps him in a tight `jhappi’. An addition to the house is this aunt’s brother (Sharma) who passes off as being not quite all there, when he is, in fact, quite the opposite. And the little girl (Qureshi) Omi used to tease years ago has turned into a 'daactarni’ , who ferries ‘pinni’ made by her mother, to Omi and his family. The theme of food runs through this film, as it progresses languidly via some well-realized moments, keeping us alongside Omi who is urgent need of a handout, and ready to steal, as he did once before, to get it.
