Disclaimer: This is not an unbiased review because I have really missed seeing Juhi Chawla light up the screen all these years!
As expected, Chalk N Duster is a feel-good, underdog-to-winner story. Unfortunately, there's a bunch of overly dramatic/idealistic scenes especially in the second half that leave gaping holes in the plot, and the last 15 minutes are completely illogical. But I could watch Juhi and Shabana on screen forever! Juhi Chawla is simply adorable - I caught myself smiling every time she appeared on screen! Shabana Azmi delivers a stellar performance as usual, and with Girish Karnad, she moved me to tears of heartbreak and joy. Divya Dutta managed to pull off an unreasonably villainous character with finesse.
Watch it for Juhi and Shabana. Otherwise, skip it - the movie is typically idealistic and predictable.
