Chhodo Kal Ki Baatein is a lesson about art of living. It’s about living life for today. The story goes thus – due to circumstances, one fine day, a workaholic IT professional, Aditya Pradhan (Sachin Khedekar) finds himself reliving this one Sunday over and over again. As Aditya figures out his dilemma, we do, too. It’s his routine – Sunday wake-up call followed by the events of the day that haunt him. His world is inhabited by the same people every day, but they don’t know that the day is repeating itself. He is the only one who can remember what happened yesterday. In another sense, his tomorrow never comes. Now, trapped in some kind of time warp, Aditya tries to seek help. He relies heavily on a blind man, Benaam Kumar (Anupam Kher). Benaam Kumar shares his wisdom and helps Aditya realise the importance of life.

The film makes the most of the sentimental possibilities in Aditya’s rehabilitation. But it also has fun with the nihilism while Aditya attains some sort of nirvana. Chhodo Kal Ki Baatein is painfully witty with resonant comedy. Its jokes are more apt to prompt gentle giggles than rolling in the aisle. Though the film is basically a comedy, there are underlying dynamics that go deeper. The story’s premise starts out lightweight, but becomes strangely affecting and at times tedious. Much as it attempts to not sound or seem preachy, trying to support its doctrine with anecdotes and examples, the second half still ends up like a lecture in moral science.
