About This Movie

Lakhon Ki Baat is one of those quirky comedies that really captures the essence of the 80s Indian cinema. Directed by Basu Chatterjee, it has this light, breezy tone while tackling the absurdity of a lawsuit stemming from a misfortunate hockey incident. The pacing feels just right; it has moments that flow effortlessly, but also peaks of humor that catch you off guard. The performances are solid, especially from the leads, who navigate the awkwardness and humor of the situation with a charming sincerity. The film leans heavily into the absurdity of its premise - a lawsuit over a puck to the head - and it's this blend of comedy and social commentary that makes it distinctive in its own right.
