Set in Punjab with an absolutely authentic and real like characters and situations, the film is about Omi Khurana played by Kunal Kapoor who owes money to underworld in London and with no other choice to pay it back, comes to his family in India where his grandfather used to sell chicken khurana in his dhaba, a dish whose recipe is unknown now. And how his quest to get this recipe which can be sold in the market results in one hilarious situation to another. And topping up this chicken is luv shuv with his childhood sweetheart and some light moments with his ample relatives.
The story on paper looks hardly exciting but it's the treatment by way of multiple Punjabi characters along with very witty and crispy dialogues that make it an interesting and entertaining watch for most parts. All the actors playing various support characters preform very well with the showstopper being the actor playing Mamaji....he manages to bring some genuine laughters out of audience. The music and songs, mostly in background, suit the mood of the film and despite not heard of earlier sound good. The climax is bound to leave you with a big smile.
But there are blemishes too, the biggest being the pace of the film which is way too slow, at times you feel nothing is moving forward. Also, the secret of recipe which had made chicken khurana the most sought after dish looks forced and doesn't appeal much. And the entire setting around punjabis' would lack the universal appeal and liking.
If a new and simple story told hilariously and innovatively satisfies your cinema watching urge, go and watch it, it's good fun. And people liking masala entertainment, big stars and larger than life characters and sets in a film would do well to avoid it.
Cinema Analyst's Take - this chicken served with luv is relishable.
