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 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.

Although this film stars some new people, not from Priyadarshan's usual line up (Aftab, Akshaye Khanna, Rimi Sen) it is still the one of the best movies. Akshaye Khanna does a very good job in this movie, and so does Aftab Shivdasani. They provide quite a few scenes with hard laughs, but the best one is Paresh Rawal of course. He delivers another brilliant role just like in Hera Pheri, except in this one he is a wealthy villager. His village accent is very good. I laughed at all his jokes. The rest of the cast did a pretty good job too.

I usually don't give movies 10/10, so as you can see this film had to be that good for me to give it a 10. Other movies that I recommend are: Hera Pheri, Andaz Apna Apna, and Phir Hera Pheri.

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.

I have to say that I have never seen a movie with more comedy then this one.... In the movie many stories are progressing in parallel and all of them are beautifully inter-linked. You have to give the story writer the due credit for keeping all stories inter linked. I cant find even a single bad point in this movie. Even the songs are very good specially the video of "Chain aapko Mila".... Never ever I like to see a video of a song more then once but I must have seen it hundreds of times and still I find it hilarious.... The best part of the movie is of course Paresh rawal with his acting. I think all the characters have done justice to their role.
