EKKEES TOPPON KI SALAAMI has a unique storyline and good performances while makes it an entertaining watch.
The surprise package of the film is indeed Aditi Sharma, who very effortlessly delivers a towering performance in the role of Taanya Srivastav. The other actors in the film include some of the seasoned names and also newcomers, who help in taking the story forward. Just when one thought that everything was going right for this film, the biggest (and possibly the only) drawback comes in the form of the film's music by Ram Sampath. Some of the songs are far away from being hummable and interrupt the flow of the story. Even though the film has some minute flaws, they can be overlooked thanks to the film's tight script. The film's editing (Amitabh Shukla) could have been been smoother. The film's cinematography (Sanjay Mamane) is average.(more)

Ekkees Toppon Ki Salaami is not brilliant but somehow it wasn�t too bad either.
For starters, Anupam Kher was top notch. A well intentioned theme tackled consistently for most part works.The humor drops in many parts. There is a lot of melodrama and mostly the plot wavers at many places.It is semi watchable and despite its preachy tone, it survives your attention for being essentially noble at heart. I went with far too low expectations and hence probably came out to be a pleasant surprise. If you�re a movie buff who watches every film, this one wouldn�t be too much of a time waste.(more)

Ekkees Toppon Ki Salaami has repeat value.
Ekkees Toppon ki Salaami explores the relationship between a father with Gandhian values and his sons who were born in a world of free markets and privatisation, with great sensitivity. The characters are well developed. You know where they're coming from and what their motivations are, hence it is easy to empathise with them. The director has retained the authenticity of the story by choosing to shoot at real locations that the average Mumbaikar will recognise instantly. Slightly substandard background score and cinematography mar this otherwise almost flawless film. Ekkees Toppon ki Salaami is one of those films that you can watch over and over again. Extraordinarily ordinary and proud of it, Ekkees Toppon ki Salaami reminds us of the important things in life in a highly consumerist world. (more)

Of the Small wonders of life.
In the busy race that life is for most of us in today�s times, it is rare that we pause to ponder on things that really matter - like families, honesty, love, compassion, passion. A common man�s world is full of never ending struggle and by the time he earns enough to realize his dreams, it is too late for him to do anything. Such a common man�s life is what Ekkees Toppon ki Salaami brings forth. On a weekend saddled with no big Hindi releases, this small film can easily be missed. Yet, for those who care for some heartwarming piece of good film making, this is a decent watch.(more)
