It’s “Click” that’s meant to be this week’s horror flick. But “Toh Baat Pakki” is a bigger horror than anything in any recent weeks. And to think that the divine Tabu stars in it makes the blood boil.
On paper, the idea of playing the busybody housewife Rajeshwari, who seems to have only one mission in life, namely to see her sister (newcomer Yuvika) married off, must have sounded like an exciting new character to explore for the brilliant actress. Alas, Tabu had not bargained for the mundane situations and the pedestrian dialogues that her character has been put into.
“Toh Baat Pakki” is one of those tragic comedies that don’t elicit a hint of humour. The plot is intrinsically bereft of ingenuity and the direction is strained most of the way.
