Director Shree Narayan Singh’s Batti Gul Meter Chalu (BGMC) is all about a very relevant subject which is often faced to the common man in a several parts of our country.

The second half of BGMC starts in the court, as Shahid Kapoor- SK targets the crooked power company. Here audience sees heightened drama. From this segment Shahid’s character becomes the honest lawyer His performance during the climax is outstanding. Shraddha Kapoor plays the vivacious small town girl with flamboyance. Yami Gautam not perfectly seems as a lawyer, only in the second half and she doesn’t impress the viewers.
