Golmaal ***1/2
Dir: Rohit Shetty
Cast: Ajay Devgan, Arshad Warsi, Tusshar Kapoor and Sharman Joshi and Rimi Sen
Kahani Mein Twist: Prepare yourself for the funniest offering of the year as Rohit Shetty delivers the mother of all laugh riots. Gopal (Ajay Devgan), Madhav (Sharman Joshi), Lucky (Tusshar Kapoor) and Laxman (Arshad Warsi) are best friends with a zest for life.
Village bumpkin Madhav has moved to the city for further studies, thereby making his ‘collector’ mother proud. The other three are good-for-nothing college dropouts who often use the gullible Madhav to extort money from students on various pretenses. They also use his hostel room as their adda and always get him into trouble.
Madhav’s worst fear comes true when his pals get him thrown out of college. The four homeless friends finally find refuge with an old blind couple’s (Paresh Rawal and Sushmita Mukerjee) house when Madhav poses as their long-lost grandson.
All the four boys, with their crazy antics, fool the couple leading to hilarious sequences. Rimi Sen, the next-door neighbour, is the common focus of attraction for the guys and things only get more chaotic thereafter.
Ekdum Jhakaas: Now this is what we call a paisa vasool entertainer. The film offers exactly what it promises — fun unlimited. Don’t go looking for logic; only expect to be entertained, and you will be. It’s full of hilarious situations, one-liners and funny takeoffs.
The one on Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Black by Ajay and Sharman is one of the film’s wackiest moments. The Valentine scene is brilliant and the song with the old couple adds a poignant touch.
The situations where the other three plot to kill Gopal will make you roll down the aisles with laughter. Writer Neeraj Vora is in full form and in fact, this would be his best treat to date.
The fantastic four — Ajay, Arshad, Sharman and Tusshar — compliment each other wonderfully. It’s difficult to decide which one is funnier because Shetty has given them all equal footage. For once, even the parallel tracks in the film blend in with ease. Like the one with Vasuli Bhai (Mukesh Tiwari, excelling in comedy).
Kuch Gadbad Hain: The only thing about the film that’s annoying is Manoj Joshi’s screaming act, which makes you want to scream out for some cotton buds. But eventually, you forgive him after his part in the making of the brilliant spoof on Black. The music could’ve been better, but never mind.
Kya Karen Kya Na Karen: Book your tickets right now. You’ll be laughing long after the film gets over. |
