Another Priyadarshan/Vohra flick another movie that was seen for TP
rather than actual desire, the only reason I did see this movie was the
fact that the regulars were not there in this movie(Akshay Paresh and
many others), but needless to say I had low expectations from this
movie.
I was happy with the casting in general except, Rajpal Yadav who once
again annoys to no limit, he does however extract some laughs, but
these were those standard slapstick non-original jokes, in fact this
whole movie is like playing the dhol, I mean it takes hardly any talent
to make loud noise, or even play the odd good beat on the dhol for a
small time does it? Its only those who can carry different beats in a
nice sequential manner, for an extended period who are considered
great.
Which brings us to the other instrument, the Dumroo hardly requires any
talent, it has no variations, and it may be enjoyable for a while the
monkey dances(hmm sounds like Rajpal Yadav, good analogy), but its not
a instrument that will entertain you for long or even get you dancing
like the Dhol does.
This movie was like the dhol and the dumroo being played, sometimes the
Dhol was played sometimes the dumroo, sometimes both together, but
mostly the Dumroo played alone and the monkey danced. And like any 24
year old sooner than later I got bored.
The movie has some good Dhol(good) moments but after a while all I
heard was the annoying Dumroo(entertaining initially, then tolerable
then irritating), the large ordinary parts really ensure this movie is
mainly good for a few funny clips on "MERE BHAINS KO ANDA KYUN MARA"
(if you haven't watched it watch it on Filmy, it comes in the evenings
and is really quite funny).
This movie had its moments, the actors did a fine job, except Rajpal
Yadav(who can act though, I've seen him in Main Meri Patni…) who
annoys more than entertains, I've said it many time and I'll say it
again I really think Sharman Joshi and Tushar Kapoor have a fine career
ahead of them in the multi-star comedies especially.
Some scenes were really funny such as the aborted attempts to impress
the girls father, the zany attempts to woo the girl and take her away
from each other.
But after this was over there was a failed attempt to make this movie
into much more with a mystery added, this mean that once the girl was
in, the following 45-60 mins was increasingly torturous, the climax was
"SO BAD ITS ALMOST GOOD CATEGORY", I mean what were they thinking if
you had to have tense ending at least make some attempt to make it
palatable.
The movie is also extremely predictable, there's hardly a scene you
cant predict and you wont be breaking into spontaneous burst of
laughter here, its more like you see it coming and almost start
laughing before the gag.
The movie follows a gradual decline throughout the movies except for
the odd bump, down or up, and then rapidly tumbles downhill once they
have made friends with the girl.
Most of the really bad scenes were towards the end, one the movie tries
to be more than a run of the mill comedy, also many of the jokes were
very very stale and reeked of repetition, THE LAST 10-15 WAS ESPECIALLY
DISTATEFULL AND COMPLETELY SPOILS THIS MOVIE.
I didn't find Tanushree Datta quite the siren she was to play, and her
acting talent is in serious question, especially in view of her
non-appealing looks, if you cant be a HOT and cant act how much time
can you survive.
Technically also this movie was weak, with the constant female gaze and
shoddy lighting and camera-work.
The songs except the title track were no good either, when the songs
played in the 2nd half I could feel the collective gasp from the
audience.
In all a movie that's just ordinary merely because of the cast, and the
very low expectations.
Avoiding it wont be a bad idea.
And if it has to be watched watching it on TV for free or a very cheap
matinée or something is a must, if you pay full multiplex rates you
will feel disappointed.
-s lots of stale jokes, RAJPAL YADAV, LAST 45 MINS AND LAST 15 MINS
ESPECIALLY, bad technically, bad songs.
+/-s tries to be more than what it was, not the regular cast(I'm
happier for it), Tanushree Datta.
+s some good scenes towards the beginning, title song, good acting and
cast except RY.
total 4.5/10(I'm trying to be objective here, I don't like Rajpal
Yadav or Tanushree Datta and this movie did meet my very low
expectations, so I'm giving it the benefit of all doubts, on absolute
terms this movie was not more than a 4)
- Thank You! We appreciate your effort.
