It’s an awesome movie for people who love comedy, not for serious people!
Director
Indra kumar is a versatile director in Bollywood. He understands the
pulse of the film lovers very well. The man who gave us hits like ‘Dil’
and ‘Beta’ based on love and emotions, also tried his hands at a
mischievous ‘Masti’
followed by ‘Pyare Mohan’ both based on comedy. Though ‘Masti’ turned
out to be a hit amongst youngsters, ‘Pyare Mohan’ just went unnoticed.
The director must have realized that there was more vulgarity than comedy in his last two films. So,
this time, he comes all prepared with his paperwork and research.
Perhaps, he wanted to reach to the masses, including children . He
found a scriptwriter in Paritosh Painter, who till then created good
comedies on stage and their co-ordination worked. All that Indra kumar
needed was a good script to target the family audience. As a director,
he was capable enough to handle the non stop comedy with his ace expertise as a director.
His latest film ‘Dhamaal’
offers four youths Roy(Ritesh Deshmukh), Adi Arshad Warsi, Manav( Javed
Jaffery) and Boman( Aashish Chaudhary) who live together and do petty
jobs. But, when they cheat and lie with the owner of the house, they
are on the streets. They think of selling
a painting to a dead man’s family and land into trouble. When they are
freed from this trouble, they spot an accident and try to save an
injured man-Bose( Prem Chopra), who before taking his last breath, reveals
to them the location of hidden treasure amounting to Rs.10 crores.
Police inspector KabirNayak( Sanjay Dutt), who is on the look out for Bose for the past 10 years, arrives
at the scene only after the man dies. Thereafter, he tries to extract
from the four youths, the secret about the hidden treasure. Somehow,
the four boys manage to escape and from thereon director Indra kumar
holds the steering in his hands and takes the viewers for a ride in
search of the money.
Inspector
Kabir is on a trail of the four, who split half way through to
find their own ways to reach the destination at the earliest. Very
cleverly the scenes have been knitted with each other to
make it a hilarious comedy. There is nothing much in the story but the
handling of the screenplay makes all the difference . With gags,
laughter and thrills supported by special effects, the film reaches the
climax where it reminds you of your duty to the society. In short, a
happy ending with a message.
The popular
pair of Munnabhai is back again. This time they are not together, but
opposite each other. All five of them combine very well with a perfect
timing for comedy, whenever they faced each other. More than Arshad and
Javed( the brother duo) the father and son combination between Nari
Contractor( Asrani) and his son-Boman( Aashish Chaudhary) did
exceptionally well. Needless to add that Sanjay Dutt and Ritesh
Deshmukh were also good in their performances; but the director
certainly stands tall, for the success of ‘Dhamaal’. He has offered a
clean comedy with quality that can be viewed by parents with their
children without feeling uncomfortable from start to finish. In short,
it is a total entertainment for all.
