QUICK MOVIE REVIEW: Kanjoos Makhichoos is an old-styled family entertainer film and the makers failed to deliver a convincing social commentary. The film lacks good humour and impactful dialogues. Most of the jokes fall flat and there were only a few funny scenes that can make the viewers laugh.
The screenplay in the first half of the film is needlessly stretched. The film wasted more time in setting up the premise. The writing has not done justice to the characters. Kunal Kemmu and Rajiv Gupta manages to deliver a decent performance. All other potential actors Shweta Tripathi, Piyush Mishra, Alka Amin, and Raju Srivastava were wasted.
