Disclaimer: Till now 14 reviews have been written, those who haven’t watched the movie-What are you waiting for???? Go ....Those who have, good !!!
hehe Readers fasten your seat belts, Geek Airlines Is ready for take Off !!
In one LINE to describe the movie: Overall Good Time Pass !!! Malaamal Weekly.........as goes the title, explains what the film would be all about, related to Money and so. Oh yes you guessed it right!!!Released on 10th March ’06 , Couldn’t see it due to exams but yes after hearing about the film and -ve’s plus -ve’s from friends, was eager to watch it. Finally today was the day I went and laughed not a gr8 deal in front of the big screen..
THE MAIN STAR CAST
Ritesh Deshmukh as Kanhaiya: If you ask me, i liked his acting to be true but when compared to the work he did in bluffmaster, was disappointing. He showed lot of aggression or you can say high temper in the movie mostly against the person who wanted to marry or talked ill things about his first and only love Sukhmani. Final word: CAN DO WONDERS!!!
Paresh Rawal as Lilaram : As always a treat to watch, though I would say he was not at his best this time. Gosh, those funny teeth he had....gave totally a new look to him. He adopted the role he was given and you know what, believe me the execution was also superb!!!I specially liked the expressions he made whenever a new problem arose in front of him. Final Word: IS CAPABLE OF DOING BETTER!!
Rajpal Yadav as Bajbahadur: Brother of karamkali in the movie and the only relative living of her. The dialogues given to him were a bit awkward but he somehow managed to deliver the goods!!!!! Was not able to make me laugh even a single time (Personally feel that) but his hair style attracted me..too. Final Word: KEEP IT UP!!!
Others Include: Om Puri as Balwant - Shakti Kapoor as Joseph, Reema Sen as Sukhmani, Sudha Chandran as Karamkali , Asrani as Chokheylal.
THE STORY Lahowli is the name of a small village where once the water situation was bad, No agricultural practices could be performed etc. Then one day when nobody put their hands forward to help, karamkali leader of the village did. Side by side, due to lot of rain, the greenery was back and water shortage problem no longer existed. Lilaram sold lottery tickets to earn some money and if somebody won the prize , he would get 10% of it as commission. One day when he came to know that one of his clients won a bumper prize of Rs 1 crore, his brain stopped working and went to the dustbin. Now he didnt wanted the commission but the whole prize money and for that made a plan. He called all the lottery ticket holders to a davat (Party) and took the tickets back from them and was able to collect 104 out of 105.
After searching them for the one that had the bumper lottery number, he found a person named Anthony (Who didnt turn up in the party) was the winner. Quickly on reaching his home, anthony was found dead. But here came the twist, Ballu seeing lilaram with anthony’s dead body, declared him as the killer.
Then lilaram told him the whole story and said that he would pay him half the amount(50 peti). Like this, everyday many more came to know about the incident and had to be given equal sum of the lottery. On the other side of the coin, Kanhaiya loved Sukhmani(Ballu’s daughter) from childhood. Kanhaiya worked in his house for free so as to meet her daily. Frequent fights took place between him and baj bahadur as he also loved her. Were they able to get Rs 1 crore???? What happened to Sukhmani and Kanhaiya?? Was anthony alive??? *To know, give it a shot bhaiyon aur behano !!!!
MUSIC Only one track ’nautanki’ performed by Rakhi Sawant.
SCENES I LIKED THE MOST:
When ballu in the hurry of getting back to anthony’s house, get’s covered with some atta kind of material and looks as a bhoot.
When Bajbahadur’s mouth remains open and the doctor is unable to figure out the problem in pursuit of telling the whole incident to karamkali in a hurry.
- When baj bhai sits on a cycle with no seat and falls of it because of pain!!
When karamkali and driver fall into the sea also with the motor vehicle.
When church mein arbaaz comes and ballu calls the body with om puri’s name and further decsribes that how bahudar he was etc and stuff!!!
MY TAKE
Talking about expectations, we have them from everybody, so did I have from the director : Priyadarshan after he showed the magic which can keep the audience glued to the screen in his comedy films likeGaram Masala, Hungama and Hera Pheri etc. I must add here that his work is exceptional and is appreciated by every Person..JUST WAIT...I am sorry to say but this time his latest flick Malaamal Weekly was a little not upto the mark. What’s your say???? The end resulted in total chaos, kichar pichar and actually was not required. Also the background music effects were not pleasing. So to sum it up, I wouldn’t say that Watch it only for killing time and some laughter scenes!!!
MESSAGE The movie also conveyes an important memo that we should never run after money at the cost of our family, friends and relatives because Money is not everything with which one cannot achieve everything!!! It’s only you who will suffer, nobody else.
Anyways thanks for reading my review!!
