F.A.L.T.U

The young gang is watchable, even if they are made to swap sense for a few broad laughs. The best of the lot is Chandan Roy Sanyal, so good as the dopehead in 'Kaminey'. He stands out, even at his silliest.

The problem with F.A.L.T.U lies in its tone. It doesn't know whether to unfold as a full blown comedy or take itself seriously by providing some gyan on the education system.

It doesn't help that the singularly unattractive cast doesn't have one acting bone between them, and that the film feels much longer than its roughly two hours running time.

Stray bits of F.A.L.T.U feel sincere but the film is so staggeringly moronic that you walk out completely exhausted. I'm going with one and a half star.

On the whole, F.A.L.T.U. banks heavily on the formula that the youth loves. It's funny, energetic and has a big ace in its smash hit musical score. I would go to the extent of saying that the movie works because it doesn't pretend to be path-breaking. It offers what the audience desires: Entertainment!

To sum up, is Faltu the thing to opt for to start off the now revived film season and to celebrate India's victory? Yes! It may have technical faults here and there but from a bird's eye view it's a complete film that is not to be missed. Although a youthful entertainer, it's a film for the whole family and one that parents' truly ought to see. So, don't be faltu any longer and don't miss out on Faltu!
