LIFE MEIN TIME NAHI HAI KISI KO | 18 October, 2019

Pooja Movies And Fun’s Life Mein Time Nahi Hai Kisi Ko is a comedy about generation gap.

Shyam Maheshwari (Anjan Srivastav) has two sons, Radhe (Govind Namdev) and Ghanshyam (Shakti Kapoor). While Radhe is a bachelor, Ghanshyam is married and has two sons, Jiten (Rajniesh Duggal) and Jagga (Krushna Abhishek). Radhe treats his two nephews as his own sons. In fact, he ensures that Jiten becomes a doctor. Jiten lives in Bombay and works in a hospital.

One day, Jiten’s family goes to see a girl for Jiten even while he is in Bombay. As luck would have it, Dr. Jiten gets married to Nisha (Yuvika Chaudhry) the same day in Bombay. His family members are shocked to learn of Jiten’s inter-caste marriage, that too, solemnised without their knowledge. Shyam Maheshwari dies of a heart attack soon after seeing the photograph of Jiten and his newly-wedded wife, sent by Jiten on Jagga’s phone.

Jiten and his wife reach the village for the last rites of Shyam Maheshwari. This sets tongues wagging about Jiten’s secret inter-caste marriage. Since Shyam Maheshwari had wanted Jiten to perform the last rites, Jiten does so but after overriding uncle Radhe Maheshwari’s wish to let the body burn on the funeral pyre. Jiten opts for the electronic cremation.

Jiten gets frantic calls from the hospital as he is needed urgently in Bombay to perform surgeries. But uncle Radhe Maheshwari won’t hear of Jiten leaving home till the thirteenth-day rituals are done with. In fact, Radhe Maheshwari faints and becomes critical as he is saddened about Jiten’s insistence to leave for Bombay. Jiten and wife Nisha do all under their command to get Radhe Maheshwari on his feet again.

Finally, Radhe Maheshwari sees the logic in letting Jiten return to Bombay as his patients need him to be there. He explains to Jiten the importance of respecting elders and observing customs, rituals and traditions while letting him and Nisha go to Bombay before the thirteenth-day ritual.

Manish Rander’s story is confused as he seems to be undecided whether to go with age-old customs and traditions or support modernity. His screenplay is average but the comic interludes are quite funny and evoke laughter. Yet, the overall impact is missing because the script does not have a solid foundation. The audience gets the feeling of watching a television serial. Manish Rander’s dialogues are good, especially in the light scenes.

Rajniesh Duggal does a fairly good job as Dr. Jiten. Yuvika Chaudhry is okay as Nisha. Krushna Abhishek’s comedy is nice and he succeeds in tickling the funny bone. Shakti Kapoor lends quite good support as Ghanshyam. Govind Namdev leaves a fine mark as Radhe Maheshwari. Anjan Srivastav has his moments as Shyam Maheshwari. Rajpal Yadav shines as Kaalu. Tiku Talsania (as Nisha’s father), Himani Shivpuri (as Radhe and Ghanshyam’s sister), Hemant Pandey (as the priest), Sunil Pal and Mushtaq Khan provide fair support in brief roles. Others are okay.

Manoj Sharma’s direction is ordinary. Praveen Bharadwaj’s music and lyrics are average; the title song is the better of the two songs. E. Saravanan’s cinematography is of a decent standard. C. Singh’s editing is quite sharp. Other technical aspects are alright.

On the whole, Life Mein Time Nahi Hai Kisi Ko has entertaining comedy but its box-office chances are bleak because it does not have a good enough script and also because it has come without any promotion, that too, in the dull pre-Diwali week.

Released on 18-10-’19 at Glamour (daily 1 show) and other cinemas of Bombay thru White Lion Entertainment. Publicity & opening: weak. …….Also released all over.
