One Two Cha Cha Chaa arrives with the promise of a rollicking road-trip comedy, filled with eccentric characters, absurd situations, and small-town Indian charm. Set in Motihari, Bihar, the film revolves around three young men tasked with escorting their quirky uncle, Chachaji (Ashutosh Rana), to a mental health facility. What begins as a seemingly straightforward journey quickly spirals into a whirlwind of mistaken identities, mafia entanglements, gunfights, and a mysterious ₹25 crore, all wrapped in layers of slapstick chaos.
 
Directors Abhishek Raj Khemka and Rajneesh Thakur aim to revive the over-the-top, loud comedy style reminiscent of early-2000s Bollywood, where absurdity and situational humour dominated the screen. The road-trip structure allows for episodic mayhem and a parade of eccentric characters, but the film struggles to maintain momentum. At nearly two hours and forty minutes, the story feels overstretched, with gags repeated more than developed, resulting in a narrative that tests patience rather than tickles funny bones consistently.
 
The writing relies heavily on chaotic chain reactions—one misunderstanding leading to another—but fails to deliver the sharp timing and clever punchlines that made classics like Hera Pheri and Dhamaal enduring. Most comedic beats fall flat, and the piling of absurd scenarios often feels forced rather than organically funny. Even the mafia subplot and high-stakes ₹25 crore twist do little to elevate the humour or tension.
 
Where the film shines, however, is Ashutosh Rana’s performance as Chachaji. Rana brings depth, sincerity, and impeccable comic timing to his role, balancing childlike innocence with eccentric unpredictability. His portrayal injects moments of emotional resonance, subtly inviting reflection on mental health without becoming preachy or sentimental. It’s Rana’s performance that keeps the audience engaged when the story itself struggles to do so.
 
The supporting cast—including Abhimanyu Singh, Nyrraa M Banerji, Anant Vijay Joshi, Harsh Mayar, Ashok Pathak, Chittaranjan Giri, and Hemal Ingle—delivers serviceable performances. The trio of Lalit Prabhakar, Anant Vijay Joshi, and Harsh Mayar shows potential in their comic exchanges, but sharper writing and better timing could have made their interactions genuinely memorable.
 
Visually, the film embraces a colourful, high-energy aesthetic that complements its chaotic narrative. The road-trip sequences, small-town settings, and over-the-top action-comedy elements align with the slapstick genre, but the visual style alone isn’t enough to sustain interest over the long runtime.
 
One Two Cha Cha Chaa is an overstuffed comedy that occasionally sparks laughs but mostly struggles under the weight of its own chaos. While Ashutosh Rana’s committed performance adds charm and occasional poignancy, the film’s pacing issues, repetitive gags, and uneven humour make it an average outing. It delivers fleeting entertainment for fans of slapstick, but it doesn’t rise above a noisy, messy comedy that overstays its welcome.
