While there are slight romantic undercurrents, I really wish makers had developed that track too. There's a sense of charm you witness when these two appear onscreen in one frame. The scenes featuring Rishi Kapoor and Juhi Chawla are endearing and take you back to Bol Radha Bol days when the two were a hit onscreen pair. However, both Nayyar and Raina did justice to their parts. We are never told if they were emotionally attached to their father or not, what was the equation they had with their late mother and if that anyhow affected their bond with their father. The chemistry that Sharmaji shares with his sons needed a lot more depth and better writing. Kapoor brings his flair on screen and Rawal has a way to impress you with his expressions. While Kapoor added soul to Sharmaji's character with his emotions, actions and reactions, Rawal did an excellent job by maintaining the continuity of the character and picking its traits so effortlessly.

The two veterans deliver a seamless performance staying true to this one common character they portray. There's a scene in which Chaddha shows the climax scene of Baghban to Sharmaji and insists that he should not be dependent on his sons and look after himself.Р”В«hatia doesn't want us to feel pity Sharmaji, instead he creates several lighter moments with comic punches which Kapoor and Rawal ace. In Sharmaji Namkeen, this retired man wants to start his second innings independently without any approval from his sons. But what happens when Sharmaji's sons, neighbours and relatives get to know about his secret job?Р”Р‡rom what we saw in Baghban where a retired father (Amitabh Bachchan) expects his four sons to take care of their parents, there's a sea difference between these two stories. In Veena (Juhi Chawla), he finds a friend and a confidante.

In the process, his circle of friends sees quite a change. As Sharmaji takes his hobby and passion for cooking to the next level, he is tricked by his friend Chaddha (Satish Kaushik) into cooking at a ladies' kitty party, and soon, it becomes a regular affair. While he contemplates taking up zumba classes, becoming a property agent, giving tuitions or opening a chaat papdi stall, his sons Rinku (Suhail Nayyar) and Vincy (Taaruk Raina) don't really buy into his ideas and tell him to enjoy his post-retirement life. Sharmaji Namkeen narrates the story of a retired manager of Madhuban Appliances, Brij Gopal Sharma (Rishi Kapoor and Paresh Rawal) who needs to be on the go and just can't sit idle at home. In fact, this constant and consistent transitions remain the highlight of the film. As Sharmaji's character switches between Kapoor and Rawal, it never appears abrupt. It's a sweet and innocent slice of life tale told in a simple manner.

He's overtly sweet is some scenes while in others, he doesn't care a hoot about what people say or think about him. In this film also, we get to see these two sides of his personality. Those who have known him or interacted with him would agree that Kapoor was a people's person but it really depended on his mood if he wanted to show you his cool side or shoo you away. Thankfully, the film serves a perfect tribute to his tough yet jovial persona. But what makes Sharmaji Namkeen even more special is that this is the last time we get to see late Rishi Kapoor onscreen. It is for the first time in the history of Indian cinema that two actors - Rishi Kapoor and Paresh Rawal - have played one character in a film.
