A couple of things stop this from being a good Priyan movie. It is criminally long, burdened with flat comedy tracks as faulty as Sachin Tichkule's roads.

[Khatta] is a muddled Bollywood attempt at satire on the hardships faced by the common man in order to progress in modern India.

The ill-fitting elements play like mismatching jigsaw pieces.

The jokes, you can tell, have pretty much dried up. No amount of slapstick will wet this pool.
