mindless comedy with a few moments
30 December 2008
Warning: Spoilers
This is a mindless slapstick comedy. I cannot believe that Paresh Rawal and Rahul Bose chose to act in the movie. Plot: Decent, but very sketchy for the most part. moments: The entire stage act in the first part is great, though not brilliant. It seems there is an obvious attempt to play up the wonderful scenes in 'Jaane Bhi do Yaaron'. Decent in the whole context of things. The 'Jab Jab...' dialogue sequence is pretty funny. Actors: The only two people who seem to have been cast right are the person playing Dawood Ibrahim {seems like the original} and Mallika Sherawat. I say Mallika because all she does in the movie is act dumb and demonstrate her cleavage. Nothing else really from her. Its shocking to see Rawal and Bose in the movie. Rawal is nevertheless the only saving grace. He has some funny moments. His volte-face in the last act where he exhorts the others is uncharacteristic of mujumdar. The screenplay doesn't explain what happens after he is shot in the end.

Interesting inspired by a lot of real life incidents and other movies.

Lots of factual errors. Shot in Pondicherry, not in Goa. Goa doesn't have an airport in Panjim. Bose cannot be shot from close range as he runs away.

In short, worth a watch if you have nothing else to do.
