Cheeni Kum- Sweetener for the 60 plus

Latest Bollywood flick "Cheeni Kum" by R. Balki is surely going to be a hit among the 60 plus Indian single male population. The movie revolves around romance of a sixty four years old chef "Buddha" ( portrayed by Amitabh Bachhan) and a thirty four year old lady, played by Tabu, whose father is younger than her boyfriend. The plot of the movie may not sound very new, but unlike previous versions, "Cheeni Kum" has a happy ending with the hero satisfying his would-be father-in-law who is younger to him (played by Paresh Rawal) and is ready to die before this unusual union happens. The age defying act of Mr. Bachhan is surely going to please the males of his age who can think again about romance in their lives. With smart dialogues on a satirical note, the film shows the change of tastes of urban India and also the changing face of Bollywood. Good work Mr. Balki.
