Gali Gali mai Choor was released on Feb 3, 2012 and it seems the film has already fizzled out at the box office and all the great expectations concerning this comic flick have turned to dust. The film is in perfect sync with the anti-corruption drive that went on for many weeks last year and grabbed a lot of attention. Similarly, Gali Gali mai choor went on the floor with a lot of fan fare dealing with the issue of corruption in civil departments and shared the same fate as the anti-corruption drive, fizzling out without achieving much.
The film is directed by Rumy Jafry who is well known for block busters like Golmaal Returns, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan and Hero No.1. The cast includes Akshay Khanna, Mugdha Godse, Shriya Saran, Satish Kaushik and Annu Kapoor and all these actors have nothing to write home about due to the mediocre script and storyline the film follows. The main plot is that politician wants a room in the home of bank cashier Bharat (Akshaye Khanna) to set up his election office in. When the latter refuses, he influences the cops to harass him and so the movie continues. Veena Malik did her bit to set the bar of item numbers high with the item track, Mehngi hui hai angraee, jab se Chhanno hai khirki pe aayee, whether she succedded or not is not yet known. A special screening of the movie was held for Anna Hazare, what this achieved for the film’s promotion is yet to be seen, but it dosen’t seem to be making much of a difference with how things are looking at the box-office at the moment for Gali Gali Mai Choor!
