Golmaal: Fun Unlimited

After a string of pathetic comedy films in 2006 (Tom,Dick and Harry , Malamaal Weekly, ChupChupke, Pyare-Mohan, etc.), Golmaal comes as a pleasant surprise. Golmaal is essentially a laughter riot, driven by an outrageous but rib-tickling plot. Howver, it is not the storyline that clinches it for the film - it is the amazing chemistry that the four male lead actors (Devgan, Kapoor, Warsi and Sharman Joshi) share that gives the film the requisite 'kick'. The film naturally has its share of flaws - negligible part of heroine, wastage of a stalwart like Paresh Rawal, a damp ending, but all in all, the film is a humorous treat.

Ajay Devgan discovers new acting horizons with this role, while Arshad Warsi and Sharman Joshi cement their identities as comedy-specialists. In the end you just hope that the director has showed a better casting acumen by casting someone other than the hapless Tusshar Kapoor (needs to revisit the acting school) , as the mute prankster.

Vishal-Shekhar's music is trendy . Watch out for the the black-n-white track featuring Paresh Rawal and his on-screen wife that has a 1940's feel to it.

This is a super comedy film. Acting is also superb and storyline of this comedy film is just amazing.

Pure comedy. Completely original humor. No unnecessary drama or love story as typical Bollywood films usually do. Performance from all the actors are flawless including side charaters. A masterpiece of the decade.

Damn I miss those days .. when films used to be so good . Take me back to those days 😍😍

It's a lazy afternoon and you have nothing to do. There's always a movie you can pick up and watch even though you have seen it over 10 times. Golmaal is one of them. Is there a plot? No. Is there a life-lesson? Hell no! What Golmaal actually offers is a story of 4 good for nothing pranksters who end up conning their way into the mansion of a blind couple. What crazy events occur next? That's Golmaal.

Gopal, Madhav, Lakshman and Lucky are four useless youngsters who do nothing but eat, drink and chill. Due to their unpaid loan to Vasulli bhai, they are on the run. They end up at the mansion of a blind couple who think their grandson has shown up from America. Then starts, Golmaal.

The story really does not offer much. However, I feel that just maybe the strength of the movie. It is a film that has its comical moments do the talking more than anything else.

There are some classic comedy scenes in the movie. The opening scene defines what the rest of the movie will be. Not to forget other scenes such as when the boys enter the house and have their first meeting with Paresh Rawal.

Not to forget when the principle enters Sharman's room. Arshad and Sharman trying to get at Ajay is hilarious.

The funniest scenes have to be the valentines day scene when the boys all gift something to Rimi and the Black parody. Just hilarious! Rohit Shetty doesn't have to depend on his directing much. It's the writing that's the strongest point. By writing, I mean the dialogue. The lines are rib tickling.

The music is a pleasant surprise. Reh ja reh ja is my favorite. The title song is amusing. Kyun aage aage is a treat to watch and a master stroke.

Rohit Shetty's direction is first rate. He handles all the scenes with ease.

Golmaal is full of talented actors. All the actors perform to an equal level of competency. Ajay Devgan is a revelation in this one. His comedy is subtle yet extremely funny. Arshad Warsi is a scene stealer, as always. Sharman joshi gives a very good act. Tusharr Kapoor is first rate and he doesn't even speak a word in the film. Rimi Sen does well Paresh Rawal is as always, perfect. Manoj Joshi is brilliant. Ditto for Sanjay Mishra and Mukesh Tiwari.

Overall - A film you can watch anytime, anywhere. Strongly recommended!
