Sharmaji Namkeen: Rishi Kapoor's movie is a delight to watch
New Delhi : 'Hero comes and go, legends stay forever' – the movie rightly says this about Rishi Kapoor; he may have left the world but he will stay forever in our memories. A last delight to watch him on screens is Sharmaji Namkeen, he truly brings the life in the movie with his acting skills.
There are some sequences of the movie which had to be shot with Paresh Rawal ji because Chintu ji left the world in between; hats off to the makers to not leave the movie and completing the package to give a much-needed tribute to Rishi Kapoor ji.
Sharmaji Namkeen is a tale of a retired man and his struggle to find a living that is interesting and not like how old age retired people pass time waiting for their deaths.
Sharmaji (Rishi Kapoor) in a hustle to find an interesting job ends up being a cook for a bunch of kitty party loving ladies. Firstly, he chooses not to take up the job but then he starts enjoying it and goes ahead amid fear of what will his kids say.
He is a master cook, who can make anyone go gaga with his yummylicious food, but struggles to connect with his own sons, who are fighting their own youngster battles to settle up.
The blend of all is an interesting watch you should not miss.

Though the movie is not a masala entertainer, it is a light hearted watch to leave you with smiles and some last on screen memories of Rishi Kapoor Ji.
In terms of acting, all the lead actors have done their job to perfection; special kudos to Paresh Rawal ji who has given an extra touch to get the movie completed.
