'Cutting Chai' is the story of one day in the life of Latika and Daniel, but it has been told very creatively. After watching the trailer, I was really looking forward to see this episode because of its star cast. Chitrangda Singh and Arshad Warsi are two of the most exceptionally talented actors of our film industry, who never got the respect that they deserved from the audience as well as the filmmakers. Chitrangda looks absolutely gorgeous in every single frame of the film, it's impossible to look at anything else when she comes on screen, which makes it even more difficult to believe that this stunning beauty has been struggling to get work in the film industry! 'Cutting Chai' is told to us through Latika's perspective, in which she questions the key decisions of her life, and whether life would be any different if she had taken a different path? We are shown a visual representation of the conflicts rattling her mind, which I felt was a very interesting and innovative mechanism employed by the director to drive the plot. Latika is angry and full of regrets, but the journey that she takes on that day allows her to contemplate and realize that her world may have been a chaotic mess, but she still managed to sail through because she always had love. The movie tries to emphasize that every time you end up at a cross road in your marriage, just take a moment to introspect your life and think about why you got together in the first place; it will make you realize that your life is not as hopeless as you think it has become.

It's a mystery why an actor like Arshad Warsi is not as popular as his contemporaries. Arshad Warsi is not only a good actor but also has a great sense of comic timing, a quality very rarely seen in actors these days. In 'Cutting Chai', Arshad not only wins the heart of Latika but also of the audiences, because he really knows how to put a smile on your face. The conversations between Latika and Daniel have been done really well, I just wish there was more of it. This story reaches a conclusion twice, and both times it's extremely beautiful. The final interaction between Latika and Daniel is absolutely hilarious, and for that the writer as well as Arshad Warsi deserve to be appreciated. This is what sets apart Arshad from others, his comic timing is phenomenal. 'Cutting Chai' is an extremely enjoyable episode that will fill your heart with a lot of warmth.
