Subtlety certainly isn’t the name of the game here. Wit is replaced by runaway buffoonery. As the humour assumes crude, if not lewd, overtones, the actors take the cue and ham away to glory. But to their credit, they shriek, holler, run around in circles

Chashme Buddoor delivers the occasional laugh but the level of the joke is someone slapping someone else or a tired Bollywood reference. If you can settle for that, check it out.

Post Himmatwala, most viewers have sworn off remakes, and Chashme Baddoor (CB) doesn't do much to salvage this thought.

Chashme Baddoor’ is exactly like any other film David Dhawan film, it is a good time pass. There is no clever humour but there is enough comedy to assure a few genuine laughs.

What an incredible treat for film-lovers as the original Chashme Buddoor (1981) finds a release alongside its boisterous remake.

Sai Paranjpe's nuanced comedy classic gets the retrograde treatment from crass comedy specialist David Dhawan, This is an official remake but Sai Paranjpe, the director scriptwriter of the original is not very happy that someone like David Dhawan whose cinematic bundle consists of mainly generic senseless comedies, has been entrusted with the task of revisiting her charming rib-tickler.

Lets get it straight David Dhawan's Chashme Baddoor is not actually a remake of the cult classic rather he picked up the basic plot from the original movie and put his bawdy and non sense jokes in between.
