It quickly becomes clear that this form of social satire is using the drama surrounding the incident to shed light on a larger issue after 2 kathal s (jackfruits) disappear from the yard of a bigwig in a tiny town as well as the local police are tasked with finding them. To its credit, Kathal avoids being preachy or screechy, which is what most films do when discussing serious issues. However, it also doesn’t delve farther into the problem, which need more attention.
Munnalal Pateria, a Moba MLA, is enraged (Vijay Raaz). From his front yard, two ripe jackfruits of the Malaysian kind weighing 15 kilogrammes apiece were taken. They were being grown by Pateria for the state chief minister’s gift of a rarefied pickle (Uttar Pradesh is the setting). Mahima Basor, the inspecting officer (Sanya Malhotra), is perplexed and appalled at the same time; as she informs her superintendent, that this is not a comprehensible case. Nevertheless, she is tasked with finding the jackfruits with the help of police officers Saurabh (Anant Vijay Joshi), who is also her beau, and Kunti (Neha Saraf).
Guneet Monga Kapoor is the producer of Kathal; Pagglait, a different light-touch, gender-sensitive humorous film starring Malhotra, was supported by her Sikhya Entertainment. TVF is another significant factor. The greatest TVF shows’ visual grammar is appropriated by director Yashowardhan Mishra, and you can expect that actors Raghubir Yadav as well as Ranjan Raj will make guest appearances. A pink Nano here as well as an orange popsicle elsewhere are highlighted by the upbeat and accentuated art direction and cinematography. A vegetable fight culminates the final standoff. Although the concepts aren’t original, they will keep a restless audience interested. You will this story of 2 Kathal s.
