Starring Mithila Palkar (Karwaan fame) and Abhay Deol in the lead roles, Chopsticks, the new Netflix Indian Original, directed by Sachin Yardi did not live up to the pre-release hype it created and ended up as a run-of-the-mill narrative with nothing new to offer. Chopsticks is about an insecure, unconfident girl Nirma Sahastrabuddhi (Mithila Palkar), who is ridiculed and is made fun of her name frequently. Consequently, after losing her car to a guy posing a valet, the rest of the runtime shows how she tracks down her lost car with the help of an artist (Abhay Deol), who is another thug making a living by opening secure locks.
Now, let’s talk about the positives first. The only flattering aspect of this movie were the two main leads, who with their casual and natural acting skills saved the narrative from it’s dreary screenplay. Despite having two promising performers on board, the story nor the screenplay weren’t sufficient enough to carry forward the movie on an affirmative path and ended up being bland and tedious. Taking up an ordinary story, the screenplay could have been tuned to make it more engaging; rather this 100-minute movie seemed to be running forever with the pacing beginning to test our patience. Even the comical aspects of the film fell short, unable to provide any relief from the tedious writing.
Mithila Palkar and Abhay Deol say in the movie, “There is Always an Option!â€. When there are multiple cutlery options other than a Chopstick, I would suggest trying and spending your time on any other Netflix films or series’ (Top 5 New Shows on Netflix), rather than this one.
