Malamaal Weekly

This movie is a gem! It's adventurous, it's a laugh riot. The plot is fantastic, it turns into an epic Sit-Com. You can not expect anything better from a low budget movie like this. Although low budget, this movie has exceptional humorous characters, some of the best in the Business, Paresh Rawal, Ritesh Deshmukh, Rajpal Yadav, Shakti Kapoor, I'm Puri, Asrani sir. One can not expect a comedy better than this. This gets better and better through each scene. I'm writing this review when I've this movie watched more than 6-7 times. So, it really has too much repeat value.

This movie is a laugh riot! It's one of the best comedies!

At first i have to say that i have never laughed so much in my entire life in cinema...and i have watched and am a fan off all sorts off comedy from Tom and Jerry to Russell Peters Stand Up Comedy (Comedy Central) to the Ace Ventura (Carrey)....but i believe Indian Cinema has never had another Director as brilliant as Priyadarshan to make u go nuts......The Comedy in his movies never stops....one funny bone after another the story keeps hitting all the parts of our body that can laugh....

And Secondly,Indian cinema has found its own pair of Comedy Geniuses...Paresh Rawal and Om Puri....the new Rawal-n-Puri duo has given such a commendable comic performance that i believe will give any comedian in World Cinema a run for his money....the pure Innocence of the Village-People of India is portrayed beyond perfection by the Duo...

And Thirdly,I do wish (as an avid fan of Good authentic Indian Cinema that has no pastures and Trees with Chipmunks running around them with a back ground filled with "music" from the Wedding Planners in Heaven !!!!)that the Rawal-Puri duo get all the right awards and commendations for their respective roles....which i have a sinking feeling will go to charismatic "HEROES" off the so-called "Bollywood"......

And,at last but not the least....Kudos to all the Cast of this rib-tickling comic havoc....Keep up the brilliance people...heres awaiting more...

Let's admit it, Bollywood can't really pull off a comedy - not since Andaaz Apna Apna have we seen a decent comedy make it to the silver screen. I'm sick of all these talentless newbies coming into the industry and appearing in "comedies" that are nothing but annoying screaming and complete idiocy.

This movie though made me laugh right through. The chemistry between the main characters was fantastic and the acting was superb by the 3 main old dudes. Asrani was also FANTASTIC! The jokes, the reactions, etc were perfectly delivered. The story, although predictable, was a refreshing change and it never felt over cooked and the jokes stayed true to the story line.

Good light hearted film!

One of the most funny movies i have watched in college days back than in 2006 in mumbai. Still laugh hard when i watch Paresh rawal and Om Puri and asrani also Rajpal's work in movie. Sure watch for today's teen who watch hate swear words webseries(kidding).

Nice and funny 10 on 10.

They are some films which work due to big stars but Priyadarshan's MALAMAAL WEEKLY which had Paresh, Om Puri in main leads worked just on the popularity of Paresh and people who like Priyadarshan's comedy

The film is a remake of WAKING NED DIVINE(1998)

The film has a good plot and the comedy is situational like HERA PHERI but the problem being the film drags in between and too many characters also the comedy at places is too crude

The film otherwise follows 1 track throughout and doesn't break into dances.etc the romance is also non filmy

The chaos that ensue due to the hidden lottery and many gags are hilarious The film keeps your attention most of the film only the film tends to drag here and there The climax also follows the typical Priyadarshan style where people chase others

Direction by Priyadarshan is good but his claiming that he wrote the script is faulty as the film is a remake of WAKING NED Music(only 1 song in the background) is okay

Paresh Rawal entertains though his new look is bad but yet he is good though nothing new Om Puri is good but hams at places Ritiesh though sidelined does a great job Reema Sen is okay Sudha Chandran is good Arbaaz Khan is good Asrani is as usual, loud and so is Shakti Kapoor and Rajpal Yadav the rest are okay
