20 minutes into this movie and you will be thinking 'Why I am watching such a crappy movie?' The script and music are really bad. Looks like the filmmakers knew nothing of cinematography. Only saving grace is the plot, which moves on tightly and surprises at every turn. However, the ending is formulaic and not as high as you would expect. Another plus point is Neha Dhupia, who serves as eye-candy and the romance between Abhay Deol and her. Some scenes are repeated for no reason and the movie defies common logic at a few points. The worst part is that the character of Neha Dhupia is not developed all throughout the movie. The depiction of the call-center guy and middle class girl is way off the mark and unrealistic. Last but not least, the supporting cast for this movie has several brilliant actors, but none of them have been given a proper role and dialogues by the director. As a result, their potential goes wasted. This movie will stand as an example of how to make a bad movie using good actors.

I saw it very late on a DVD with my husband. We thought it was an interesting name for a film. But watching it we were awed. Very less have I seen so poised film from begin to end gaining dramatic momentum as it progresses. Abhay Deol and Neha Dhupia are stupendous. I was amazed by glamor gal Neha's unlikely pick actually. I think Indian film makers have give a let go to this film as just a good film due to its New Director and Producer. Sadly Ek Chalis Ki Last Local is a Cult film of Indian cinema gone unnoticed due to low profile people behind it. For me it is the first attempt near Real-time filming in India. Dhai ghante mein dhai crore(2 1/2 crore in 2 1/2 hours) is an apt tag line and yes the film is also of 2 1/2 hrs. I'll say its a must watch for all cine lovers not just in India but across the world. cheers to the makers. I look forward to see more work of this director. It rocks.

What's up Bollywood, you are actually making movies that are out of line!! Ek Challis Ki Last Local is a dark comedy, and the surprising thing about this one is that it is more realistic and enjoyable than most other movies from the tinsel town. Even the songs are blended in...talk about that! Abhay Deol seems to be picking roles that require more acting than doing the dance numbers which is a step in the right direction. Guess a fresh new director can bring new ideas in, and Bollywood does need more Khanduris and Kukunoors. Could have been more tightly done as the second half seemed to drag, but still enjoyable and watchable than most of the Bollywood movies out there. Not one for family viewing though. 7/10.

I really liked this film when i saw the trailers, i have not seen any of Abhay Doel's movies in the past but i did go and watch this, and i was quite surprised as he was good in the film, the guy is an even better actor than his cousin Bobby who i can't stand at all every time his face comes on screen i change the channel.I was really impressed with Neha, she was really, really good in this film, now i want her to do more family films like this because she had played the character so well, she was the right person for role too,.The music went well with the movie and Neha and Abhay made a really cute couple and danced well together also.
