Movie review: Bol Bachchan
Updated On: 07 July, 2012 06:40 AM IST | | Janhavi Samant
First things first. Bol Bachchan is a remake of Golmaal, the old sweet Amol Palekar - Utpal Dutt comedy. But if you go to see the film expecting it to be full of gentle hilarity and respectable slapstick of the earlier version, you will be aghast.
Bol Bachchan
U/A; Action
Dir: Rohit Shetty
Cast: Ajay Devgn, Abhishek Bachchan, Prachi Desai, Asin
***1/2
Instead keeping Rohit Shetty’s earlier comic works as a yardstick may help in understanding what to expect in this film.u00a0Rohit Shetty’s penchant for absurd humour and love for the outrageous happily subverts the entire premise of Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s masterpiece. So, Utpal Dutt’s love for the purity of Hindi language has been twisted to show Ajay Devgn’s (as Prithviraj) usage of English phrases like, umm, “Please bring some fresh fuls and fruitables.”u00a0
