Critic’s Rating: 2.0/5
Story: Aditya loves Pari, but her father insists she marry someone with a stable government job. When Aditya and Pari elope, their marriage sets off a storm of chaos and conflict.
Review: ‘Sarkari Baccha’ is the kind of film that sets its tone within the first ten minutes, making it clear what’s in store. Right from the start, it warns you to brace yourself for an absurd plot, lacklustre performances, and unintentional comedy. Unfortunately, the film never recovers from this shaky beginning, offering nothing redeeming and ultimately turning into a complete waste of time. Its attempts at humour fall flat, making it a tedious watch from start to finish.
The film revolves around Aditya (Ruslan Mumtaz) and Pari (Aanya Tiwari), a couple deeply in love but facing a major hurdle—Pari’s father, Suryakant Shukla (Ehsan Khan), insists on marrying her off to a groom with a stable government job. In contrast, Aditya’s father, Tripathi Ji (Brijendra Kala), is understanding and aware of their relationship. Meanwhile, Pandey Ji, whose son Golu Pandey (Rizwann Sikandar) is a government employee, demands a hefty dowry for the marriage. With no solution in sight, Aditya and Pari elope and secretly marry. However, when Shukla Ji hears that Pari is pregnant, he has a sudden change of heart and accepts the couple—only to later discover that Pari isn’t actually pregnant.
Terrible performances and an insipid screenplay drag this so-called comedy down. Most of the actors, barring a few, resort to excessive hamming, making it a painful watch. There’s no proper build-up to any scene, and the film is filled with unintentionally hilarious moments that fail to land. The less said about the dialogues, the better, as they only add to the film’s overall mediocrity. Even the direction feels uninspired, making it seem like a half-hearted attempt at storytelling.
Among the actors, only Brijendra Kala manages to deliver a performance worth noting, while the rest either overact or sleepwalk through their roles. Ruslan Mumtaz and Aanya Tiwari share no chemistry, making their sequences fall completely flat. Javed Rizvi as Mama and Mehmood Junior as Pandit Ji attempt to provide comic relief, but their forced antics only add to the agony. The film ultimately fails to entertain on any level, making it best to avoid this tragedy disguised as a comedy.
