Golmaal Again

All the rest of the series kept being less funny one after another and this 4th was worst work..

Golmaal 1 = Best no doubt 10 Golmaal 2 = melodrama but still 5 of 10 Golmaal 3 = overacting and crap 2/10 Golmaal 4 = I hope imdb ever introduce NEGATIVE rankings..

I already knew that this movie is going to be a big torture since I had lost confidence in Rohit Shetty after his big blunders- Dilwale and Golmaal 3. But since I had already watched Secret Superstar with my friends and my parents wanted to watch a movie, I had to choose Golmaal Again. And Trust me, it was worse than what I thought. It was like a nightmare to tolerate this garbage for 2.5 hours. I could have left the theater in the middle, but my parents said that it would be a wastage of money, which we had spent for tickets. So I sat and watched.

Now coming to the essence, this movie has only a few seconds during which you can actually laugh. Seriously I am not exaggerating anything, the movie has only one or two scenes during which I really felt to laugh that too for very few seconds. Now rating each and every sphere of the movie.

Story: The film doesn't have any story-line. Nothing!!! A plain boring journey with no humor, no horror, and suspense. I agree, film poster already says "no logic only magic", but at least there should be some humor, there should be some good performances. But not a single moment of entertainment. Plain boring and forced story (not worth telling at all). 0/10 for the story.

Direction: Another dismal and miserable attempt of Rohit Shetty to make people laugh and this time it has got worse than it could be. He knows it really well that how to fool people by taking a huge star-cast and releasing his movie around a big festival. 1/10 for direction.

Performances: The movie is filled with tons of stars. But none of them makes an impact expect Johnny Lever and Prakash Raj. Ajay Devgn is one of my favorite actors in Bollywood, but in this movie even he seems helpless, trapped between poor story and no scope to perform. Another big disappointment was Tusshar Kapoor who also fails to create humor. Rest of the star cast just blindly followed whatever said to them. 2/10 for performances. One each for Johnny Lever and Prakash Raj.

Music: Music has nothing to do in the film. But still, it is OK and accompanied by a good choreography.

Cinematography: The ONLY thing that gave pleasure to my eyes was the terrific beauty of Ooty, which was well captured in this film. I had never thought Ooty to be so beautiful. This film has really created an urge in me to visit Ooty during my next vacation. 10/10 for cinematography.

The last verdict: Golmaal: the fun unlimited was awesome, Golmaal Returns was average, Golmaal 3 was poor and Golmaal Again is the worse thing you can see in a comedy movie. It is a complete waste of time and that time can be spent better somewhere else. If you really like people slapping others and making them bounce and spin here and there and you call it a comedy, you can go for it, otherwise, please go for Secret Superstar, it is a way better movie and a must watch.

So, does Golmaal Again deliver the laughs? The guffaws that echoed through the cinema from the first scene itself, meant it probably did. The director wastes no time starting off with the tale of how six kids from Jamnadas Orphanage spend a frolicking childhood together until they're eventually separated; only to meet again in rather unexpected circumstances. Lucky's (Tusshar) 'oohhaa-oohhaa', Gopal's (Ajay) fear of spirits, Laxman 1's (Kunal) senseless one-liners, Madhav's (Arshad) over smartness and Laxman 2's (Shreya) slurry speech, all prove to be the perfect ingredients to create a khichadi called Golmaal. However, unlike the other films from the franchise, Golmaal Again sees Ajay's character taking centrestage, displaying machoism and comedy in equal measure. This is a little disappointing since the humour from the other four characters gets completely side-lined. And truth be told, we can all do with a little less of Ajay Devgn in our lives. Moving on to the female leads, Anna (Tabu) who plays the librarian of the orphanage and the person who connects to spirits is underutilised as all she does throughout the film is try to chaperon a bunch of confused souls. Khushi (Parineeti) is the ghost (Yes, you heard that right) and is mostly seen supporting the male leads. This is a sheer waste of two talented actresses who have proved their comic worth in the past. But when did Rohit Shetty's films ever be about proper characterisation or things like plot, depth and meaning?! The story (yes, there is one here!) moves from being a simple comedy to a group of orphans seeking revenge for the death of their caretaker and moh boli sister, Khushi. Over here, let's take a moment to appreciate the comic timing of Bollywood's ultimate laughter machine- Johnny Lever who proves to be the perfect addition to the group of goofballs. A romantic angle is needlessly inserted, portraying a budding relationship between Ajay's character and Parineeti's (after all Ajay is hero no.1, na?) but that too doesn't make an impact, overshadowed by all the buffoonery around. Overall, Golmaal Again is an entertaining watch targeted at families looking for a harmless break. Not one to take an instant liking to slapstick humour, it took me some convincing to understand the essence, but once I submitted to the madness, I found myself chuckling on many occasions. (Note to self: keep brains well locked behind while walking into such films). Golmaal Again is packed with so many sub-plots that at one point, you may find yourself losing track of what the core is all about. But clearly, the writer's intention is not to convince you. The lead stars have enough chemistry and charisma to make you stay put in the theatre and you won't regret the three hours spent watching this one. If however, you like to take your brains with you to the movies, this Golmaal might not be the way to spend a memorable Diwali.

i watch this movie on first day. expected lot from director but very disappointed. bad jokes no one can laugh.and what a suspense that in first seen you will recognize. i don't know why these people spend lots of money in cast shoot but cant the find a good script. this movie earns 180 Cr. actually now days Hindi movie standards become very low so its avg one.

I don't know why Director Rohit Shetty put horror element in the movie because He is not best in this business.The script was not entertaining unlike the previous one,Tabu was so overacted in the last scenes, Prakash Raj acting was superb as always,but Director did not gave him much size of role which he deserves,Overall an average comedy movie.
