A delightful light hearted film, Chasme Buddoor is the story of 3 students -
Siddharth (Farooq Shaikh),
Jomo (Ravi Vaswani) &
Omi (Rakesh Bedi)
These friends share a flat & are forever borrowing from the local paanwala Lalan Mian (Saeed Jaafrey).
Siddharth [Sid] is the seedha saada, more academic , serious attitude in life type where as Jomo & Omi are always chasing girls but never getting anywhere with them.
One day while Sid is alone, a salesgirl comes to their flat, selling a detergent called Chamko, this is where we are introduced to the charming & lovely smiling Deepti Naval. Naturally Sid is charmed by her [There is a very cute scene where he calls her Miss Chamko, coz she hasn’t told her name yet] So, we learn that this Miss Chamko is Neha, who lives in the neighbourhood with her father & grandmother.
Soon Sid & Neha become close & fall in love. But when Omi & Jomo learn of this they are jealous & try to woo Neha, failing miserably. Then both of them fabricate stories of their romance with Neha. They tell Sid about certain things in her house & ask him to check the same, which would prove that their story is true.
Listening to his friends stories, Sid becomes doubtful about Neha & as both his friends had visited Neha’s house, Sid finds all the signs they had described to him. He is very upset & He refuses to talk to Neha. This creates a wedge between the lovers. But seeing their friend so miserable, Omi & Jomo feels very guilty & repentant. They seek help from Lalan Miya & Deepti’s granny Leela Mishra. However, their plan of kidnapping Neha & of sending Sid to save her, backfires & what follows is a very hilarious climax, where we find both the lovers united once more..........

My Word
Directed by Sai Paranjpee, this movie is absolutely hilarious, even though I’ve seen it often. It is an out n out comedy, without any pretensions. The main characters are so real that we can easily identify with them. The cast of the film is its plus point. Saeed Jaafrey as a paanwala, with a heavy Agratype accent is so realistic. Deepti Naval and Farooq Sheikh are charming as the young couple. Everyone is full of energy & has given good performance, esp. Rakesh Bedi & Ravi Baswani who have provided non stop laughter. I clearly remember there is scene where Omi is telling Sid about how he was romancing with Neha in the garden singing songs, this is a parody song where Vaswani & Deepti Naval enact famous songs of yesteryears [Songs like Pyaar Kiya to Darna Kya & Laila O Laila]. This song was a major highlight of the film.
Chasme Buddoor is a must see for everyone who likes to watch clean & fun hindi movies.
