Take a good guy with no brain and a bad guy in a gorilla suit, pack them off in a truck and what do you get? A miserable excuse for mirthless slapstick, in a film that rambles down the road to nowhere.
"Hello Charlie" is one of those 'fun films' where you struggle to recall a single gag that was funny enough, within two minutes that the end credits have rolled. The 'fun film' classification should draw a ready audience base, for a start. The film -- if you can call this a film -- will struggle to retain audience interest thereon.
Director Pankaj Saraswat of "Hello Charlie" had once upon a time screenplayed a delightful little comedy called "Main Meri Patni Aur Woh". That was in 2005, over a decade and a half ago. All these years later, Saraswat has chosen mindless monkey mayhem for his feature film directorial debut -- the sort that stopped being funny a while back.
