Aloo Chaat is a 2009 Indian Hindi-language romantic comedy film starring Aftab Shivdasani, Aamna Sharif, Linda Arsenio, Kulbhushan Kharbanda, Sanjai Mishra, and Manoj Pahwa.
His orthodox Punjabi family, consisting of his father Purushottam (Kulbhushan Kharbanda), his grandmother Beeji (Dolly Ahluwalia), his confused mother Seeto (Meenakshi Sethi), and an always suspicious uncle Chhadami Mama (Sanjay Mishra), are keen to get him married and scout potential matches.
As days progress, Nikki tries to come across as a poor choice for Nikhil by such acts as cooking American food, wearing skimpy western outfits, and acting irresponsibly, while Aamna remedies these by cooking Punjabi food (which the family relishes after initial hesitation), wearing Indian outfits, and being responsible and caring.
Nikki even gets herself a sunbath in a bikini at the house's rooftop, inviting several unwanted stares, and is admonished for this by Aamna in the presence of Nikhil's father.
Nikhil's plan hits a snag when the astrologer called to select an auspicious marriage date chooses one just four days ahead.
In a last-ditch effort to throw the wedding off, the trio decides to hire a woman to play Nikki's mother, having her object to her "daughter's" marriage, but are apparently unsuccessful in their attempts.
The family welcomes Aamna with open arms, and they all head to a food stall near their house to have their regular snack: aloo chaat.
Writing for Bollywood Hungama, reviewer Taran Adarsh called the film "Below Average" stating "Aloo Chaat suffers due to one major reason: It just doesn’t hold your attention.
"[2] On the other hand, Nikhat Kazmi reviewing for The Times Of India gave the movie 3 stars out of 5, calling it fairly enjoyable.
