Malamaal Weekly

This movie is one of the best I have seen coming out of India. It has a very complex plot that is very well put together. The acting is top notch. The movie is also one of the funniest I have seen in a long time. It made me laugh and laugh and laugh. Highly Recommended !!! Someone wrote that it is inspired by another movie. Most movies have been inspired by some other movie or story. The movie is set in a small and very poor village in modern day India and is about a lottery ticket reseller whose customer wins 1 crore rupees. The man dies of happiness but not before he has told his estranged sister and half the village. What follows is a riot of side splittingly funny events as the lottery ticket reseller tries to keep it a secret and in the process make some money.

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!

I know I know, this is a remake, but still, it is screamingly funny, and it isn't everyday that u find a screamingly funny Hindi movie in the theaters... True its really sad that Bolly is now copying ideas for comedies as well, but it doesn't matter, cos this is funny as well... the entire movie is set by Paresh Rawal. he controls the pace of the movie, Om Puri and Asrani give him good support. The acting is good. These veterans bring out the authentic UP/Bhojpuri Hindi. Ritesh DEshmukh as usual does a good performance on his part. Shakti Kapur is again very nice in his own small way... The good thing is that the director wisely reduced the number of songs...

Overall 8/10!!!

I finally watched "waking ned devine", it was not as funny as I expected. I have to say that I love this one much better.

Here is what I wrote a few weeks ago.

I didn't know that this movie was a remake of the English movie, but it didn't diminish how funny this movie is. The storyline fits with the specific Indian village setting pretty good.

I had to rewind quite a few times just to watch those funny scenes again. It is a comedy, not a history movie, so there is no need to check the facts to see if they are correct or not.

"Chup Chup Ke" was the first Indian comedy that I have seen, I rated that one a 9. I also rated this movie a 9. Those actors were pretty good, and their facial expressions are priceless.

I truly enjoyed it very much. I may watch it again after a few years to have another good laugh.

A very nice comedy after a long time...free of nudity, vulgarity etc ... a complete family entertainer. A great theme making people laugh from the beginning till the end of the movie. Although the film has stars of the fame like The great comedy king Paresh Rawal, Om Puri, Asraani, Sudha Chandran, Ritesh, Shakti Kapoor etc but still the movie doesn't look cluttered with stars... Star of the Show is "Baaje" n "Leela" And unlike most of other comedy movies.. the end of Malamaal Weekly is still grasping and very very comic. A total Paisaa Wasool.... A bit overdoing on part of Ritesh.. But still a good Timepass. Do watch!!
