Rascals

Rascals directed by David Dhawan is just abysmal,boring,cheap,vulgar and offensive.

Talented actors like Ajay Devgn(Singham:2011),Arjun Rampal(Ra.One:2011,Kangana Ranaut(Tanu Weds Manu:2011)and Sanjay Dutt(Munnabhai series) have been wasted in this movie.

There is not even a single joke that will make you laugh.Some jokes in the first and second hour to the extent will make you smile! What makes me give this hopeless movie 2 stars is for Arjun Rampal and Kangana Ranaut.Arjun Rampal shines in the movie as Anthony Gonzalves and Kangana looks fresh! Story:-Chetan Chauhan (Sanjay Dutt) and Bhagat Bhosle (Ajay Devgn) are petty thieves who have run from India to Bangkok.In Bangkok,they plan to loot a rich girl Khushi (Kangana Ranaut).Both try to upstage each other in wooing her.While in India,Anthony Gonzalves (Arjun Rampal),is searching for Chetan and Bhagat since they have looted him of his car and money.

The comedy scenes are offensive and cheap.

David Dhawan known as King of Comedy movies,should now be known King of Cheap Comedies.(earlier being Do Knot Disturb) The dialogs are unfunny.

The music is average.

The story is nothing to talk about.

Sanjay Dutt and Ajay Devgn are disappointing.Kangana Ranaut is cute and fresh-looking.Arjun Rampal is the best of all.Chunky Pandey and Satish Kaushik are saddening.

All in all,Rascals is a disaster!

RascalsMore Pics David Dhawan was the pioneer of the farcical films genre with the kind of comedies he made through the 90s. However mindless his films might have been, it still had an inherent sense of humour and assured a few good laughs. Sadly, in the subsequent decade, all he served in the name of stress-free slapsticks is noise and commotion. While we aren't demanding that the filmmaker upgrade with times, all we expect is that the one-time king of comedy merely maintain his original brand of humour. Is that asking for too much?

Rascals is what one can call a 'vacation' filmmaking stint where everyone works on the film as if they were on a 'holiday' and the audience is expected to 'leave' their senses behind. The actors make least efforts to add conviction to their performances and the patchy writing just allows them to play as they please. Invariably the director tries to camouflage the shallowness in the story by adding depth only in the decibel levels of the dialogue delivery.

So you have conmen Chetan (Sanjay Dutt) and Bhagat (Ajay Devgn) in one- upmanship game to win the girl (Kangana Ranaut) loaded with assets (both financial and physical). It's never clear what they love more - her body or her bank-balance. And their lecherous rivalry only seems to be about who would get to hug the cleavage-popping girl more number of times.

One-upmanship has been a popular plot for several comedies since the times of Amitabh Bachchan - Shashi Kapoor's Do Aur Do Paanch (1980). Even David Dhawan had smartly handled the concept in his earlier comedies like Govinda-Anil Kapoor's Deewana Mastana (1997) and Akshay- Salman's Mujhse Shaadi Karogi (2004). Unfortunately it doesn't quite work this time, primarily because Kangana Ranaut doesn't share any chemistry with either men and so their persistent pursuit to get the girl falls flat.

Also thanks to the dull camaraderie, the viewer never really bothers which hero would actually win the heroine in the end. Thereby the small surprise in the climax (no, there isn't a cameo by a third hero) also doesn't register much. The storytelling in the animated title credits is more appealing than the conventional narrative structure.

While one has already left logic behind, the problem is that Yunus Sejawal's screenplay is inconsistent, convenient and uneventful. It lacks the imagination or wit for some real exciting clash between the male leads. One can easily see through most of the worn-out gags. Sanjay Chhel's synchronized rhyming dialogues are occasionally funny but seem forced otherwise. You laugh more on the corniness of the scenes than the comedy per se.

The tone of humour is consistently loud and commotional. Expectedly Ajay Devgn keeps screaming most of the time and hams outrageously. Sanjay Dutt is better in comparison, which isn't saying much. He gets the funnier lines, gags and scenes. Kangana Ranaut is ill at ease in comedy. She struggles to hold her own and emerges as a bimbo in her act. Lisa Haydon is merely employed to look hot and she does a fair job at it. Hiten Paintel is used as an add-on and his presence in the film is immaterial. Satish Kaushik attempts to induce few laughs with his gibberish brand comedy. Bharti Achrekar gets no scope. Chunky Pandey overacts. Arjun Rampal has pretty much nothing to do.

Rascals ends up being a silly and stupid comedy!

I just cant imagine how anybody can make movie this much bad, No story, Lame jokes, Unreal situations. The humor in Rascals is too loud and often unfunny while Kangna Ranaut is too hysterical and dumb-headed to evoke all the trouble and attention. Okay, so dumbness can be excused in Bollywood comedies which ostensibly revel in low IQ gags. Complete waste of time and money. All Sanjay Dutt and Ajay Devgan do in the movie is just stick to Kangana Ranaut. Movie reminds me of Deewana Mastana (which was much more superior as compared to Rascals) On the flip side, in the second half, there are some unnecessary sequences that only add to the length in this over the top comedy.

A word of advice to Kangna. Stick to serious roles and stay away from comedy.

A good director cannot always give you a good film nor can good actors always give you good acting. This is a review of this movie. David Dhawan is a very good director, he has given many superhit films in the nineties but this film is his worst film. Same thing applies to Ajay and Sanjay also. Both are amazing actors. Both of them have done action comedy films but this film is one of their biggest mistakes. What can actors do when there is no script in the film? The film tries to make you laugh.

3 starts to Kangana, Ajay and refreshing Arjun Rampal.

I want to start with praise to Arjun who has don a seriously good role and looking apart in the movie. Rest of the movie is full of crap, vulgar and cheap comic shots, which I don't know which category of people like.

I could not believe David Dhawan, who was the reason for me to agree for this movie. He use to make sense earlier, till interval, you will wonder where is the movie going to?? What they want?? and What is going to happen next?? Just vulgar and cheap shots one after another.

I would not recommend this movie.
