Arjun Patiala (2019) *MQ*

Ritesh Shah and Sandeep Leyzell try a rare cop comedy genre a spoof in fact where a happy go lucky policewala Arjun Patiala (Diljit Dosanjh) and his sidekick Onidda Singh (Varun Sharma) are having fun in leading a life by earning some extra from small bribes. A chance encounter with an honest reporter Ritu Randhawa (Kriti Sanon) make them realize the importance of their dharma and how they change their karma forms the crux of this comedy.
This is a mixed bag of nuts, some crunchy, others tasty and also some peanuts that taste a little off. A director and producer listen to the narration of yet another police story. It’s a buddy cop story, with baddies and politicians and an editor of the newspaper thrown in for conspiracy. What it lacks in ‘conflict’ is made up by the silliness played earnestly by the ensemble cast. It’s not hi-comedy, but it’s a fun watch.
