It was about time the Hindi film industry produced a good comedy. There has been a drought in the comic genre of movies since the sensation caused by Munnabhai MBBS, Hera Pheri prior to that and Andaaz Apna Apna if you ponder further down. If you've followed the trend of the comic movies that have been produced in recent times, you would agree me when I say there has been a sudden deluge of movies which convey humor using a unbearable number of innuendos. This has led to the narrowing down of comic movie audiences across India where usage of expletives is not appreciated par innuendo or otherwise. At the very outset Golmal would give you the exact same feeling. The three protagonists dancing among a flock of bikini clad ladies and a start sans any direction for around 30 minutes will give you the same Akshay Kumar comedy feel. Id suggest, don't leave yet because out of no-where an interesting new plot pops up and I assure you its a laugh riot after this point. The rapport between the three jests of the movie is good with Ajay Devgan trying a comic role, Sharman Joshi(RDB guy...Sukhi) playing the innocent scapegoat to perfection and of course Arshad Warsi playing a role in his "home ground" . Rimi sen was a disappointment but I guess a movie in which a 'heroine' was absolutely unnecessary one cant except much. Paresh Raawal was wasted in a serious role and not taking anything away from him since he played the role of the blind old man to perfection along with Susmita Mukherjee (u must have seen her in many TV comedies) playing his wife very well.
There are things that are similar to the previous comedies like the intermittent usage of innuendos but what impressed me the most the refreshing usage of a flashback sequence with a 1950's duet song feel where the hero woes the heroine. This was quite a delectation. Other than that there are a few other good jokes in the movie. As usual the finale and the global plot of the movie was below par and in fact outright rubbish. It was a like a good idea extremely badly executed. You also have the clichéd "running around in confusion" fight sequence in the end. The music is trendy with some foot tapping numbers and again the black and white 1950s track is what got me to give the movie a 7/10. All in all if u you are not in total aversion to slapstick comedy you will have a great time and will laugh your stomach off through out the movie. I'd say go watch the movie if you are bored and want something to cheer you up because you will be in splits for most of the movie but if you are looking for a comedy of the caliber of Namakhalaal and Hera Pheri, well you can pass.
