As everybody knows Sargun Mehta is one of the top-notch actresses of Pollywood industry and she has nailed almost all the characters she played till now. In this movie she is playing the role of Rani who is a chudail(a witch), her acting and dancing skills are grabbing all the attention in the movie.

Veteran actors Nirmal Rishi and BN Sharma are absolutely delightful in their roles. The romantic tracks “Parindey” by B Praak and “Dil Nu” by Ammy Virk are beautiful melodies that track the courtship of Jalaluddin with the two women. Jatt Nuu Chudail Takri is a passable yet overall entertaining family film that will draw audiences over the weekend. It remains to be seen if the protracted feature will sustain their interest for long.


Recently, the premiere of the movie was organised which was attended by Ravi Dubay (Sargun’s Husband) Mannara chopra, Priyanka Chahar Chaudhary, Ankit Gupta, Isha Malviya and many other stars.

Plot of the movie “Jatt Nuu Chudail Takri”

Shayatar Singh aka Jalaluddin (Gippy Grewal) observes his three friends (Ravinder Mand, Amrit Amby, Deedar Gill) as they constantly bicker with their wives. Dubbing them as being witches (chudails), he encourages his friends to get a divorce and do away with the quarrelling once and for all. In a burst of alcohol-infused confidence, the friends agree but on the condition that he does not get married and suffer the same fate as them. Just then, Rani (Sargun Mehta) enters his life, and they get married. Jalaluddin finds out that she is actually a genuine witch, who married him to teach him a lesson. Hereafter, he spends all his energy trying to get rid of her.

When he is temporarily successful, he tries to begin life anew by marrying Jeeti (Roopi Gill), but this only creates more complications for him. The horror comedy aims to be a laugh-a-minute film packed with witty dialogues and general hilarity. While this does happen in parts, the comedy becomes repetitive and starts to sag. Rani displaying her powers as a witch is a bit tiresome, and the scenes where Jeeti is made into a fly and then a goat are just below par attempts at humour. The film also seems to become confused in the middle as it tries to go off into different directions during its lengthy runtime of 155 minutes.

The flashback scenes which trace the sins of Jalaluddin’s past life are executed beautifully and one wishes that a more cohesive screenplay could have woven that in seamlessly, especially in Rani’s motivations.

It is evident that Jatt Nuu Chudail Takri is a film that aims to replicate the premise and, by extension, the success of Saunkan Saunkne, which in the second half of the film comes through in the face-off between Rani and Jeeti but without much conviction. Made with a family audience in mind, especially children, the horror comedy has no elements of horror; rather the genre becomes a way to throw in some cool visual effects.
