Hungama

I watched this movie because I'm an Akshaye Khanna nut. Although I was sad to see he wasn't in more scenes, clearly it's better to have a supporting role (with top billing!) in a good film than the lead in a bad one.

The plot of this story has so many twists and turns that whomever wrote it should get a literary award. The way the characters are linked together is truly clever and hilarious. I think this movie is 10 times funnier than Hera Pheri.

And, none of the actors disappoint! How great is that?

Very entertaining. 9 out of 10

Hungama is the best Indian comedy i've ever seen. I'm not an Indian but This movie was truly awesome. I must have seen it 100 times and still I find it very funny. A great theme making people laugh from the beginning till the end of the movie.Paresh Rawal was brilliant as usuall. Akshaye Khanna did good job. Aaftab Shivdasani, Shoma Anand, Shakti Kapoor, Rajpal Yadav, Tiku Talsania did great funny roles. Rimi Sen looks beautiful and very talented. It is so hilarious,it will definitely make you laugh uncontrollably! I have never seen before such this great Indian comedy movie. It is really funny how all the characters have some connection to each other and how continuous misunderstandings among these characters lead to absolute chaos! Whoever wrote the script for this movie is a genius. Now Do watch!!

Hungama can easily be dubbed as India's answer to the 'Comedy of Errors'.

It works out really well when you do not expect a lot out of a movie and coming out thinking - yeah that was great. That is the case with this one. The cast were not all that appealing and the songs were passable - so when I actually got to watch the movie it made me sit up and realize that maybe bollywood could do comedy and did indeed have a sense of timing and humor.

The confusion or chaos revolves the name Anjali - it is the name of a prominent businessmans (Paresh Rawal) wife and also the name of a girl on the run from her past trying to make it in Mumbai (Rimi Sen). There are then a handful of characters that cross their paths and it inadvertently causes a lot of confusion. There is not enough space here to go into them, so its better to go and watch the movie.

On the acting side the show stealer is Paresh Rawal. He is excellent in this movie - it will have to be said that he is on par if not better then Johnny Lever nowadays, if not better. The two main leads Akshaye and Aftab also were terrific with a good change to see the later doing some good acting. Rimi Sen is good and fits into the story well. The rest of the support cast (and there are plenty of them) are well balanced and compliment the story well.

The two backbone characteristics of the movie namely the script and music would have my mixed views. The story is excellent. But the music left something to be desired.

Overall its one of those movies you would watch when you just want to have fun.

You can watch this movie in whichever mood you are into. It will always make you laugh and make your day. Superb acting by Paresh Rawal, Akshay Khanna, Rajpal Yadav and others. The plot of all actors is nicely interlinked which reflects the intelligence of the writer. Priyadarshan is an ace director who gets the most out of all of his actors.

Basically this movie gets good when it gets into it's second half Shakti Kapoor and Rajpal Yadav are absolutely stunning they are top of the line in their roles Paresh Rawal excels in his role and the main star cast especially Akshaye Khanna delivers a great job the total misunderstandings which evolve into total chaos delivers for a total 2 and a half hour entertainer Priyadarshan's first entertainer at a crazy comedy i feel is totally worth the attempt especially when i enjoyed his comedy Hulchul which came out after Hungama the songs are OK but the best song is " Mera Dil Tere Paas Rehne Dein" Nadeem-Shravan fans strictly Inever predicted the ending of this movie but i guess it was for the better gut-bursting comedy this is ultimate hilarity at it's best that shouldn't be missed gread job from a Malayalam film director on venture on giving us some Hindi entertainment
