Hungama

Hungama can easily be dubbed as India's answer to the 'Comedy of Errors'.

It works out really well when you do not expect a lot out of a movie and coming out thinking - yeah that was great. That is the case with this one. The cast were not all that appealing and the songs were passable - so when I actually got to watch the movie it made me sit up and realize that maybe bollywood could do comedy and did indeed have a sense of timing and humor.

The confusion or chaos revolves the name Anjali - it is the name of a prominent businessmans (Paresh Rawal) wife and also the name of a girl on the run from her past trying to make it in Mumbai (Rimi Sen). There are then a handful of characters that cross their paths and it inadvertently causes a lot of confusion. There is not enough space here to go into them, so its better to go and watch the movie.

On the acting side the show stealer is Paresh Rawal. He is excellent in this movie - it will have to be said that he is on par if not better then Johnny Lever nowadays, if not better. The two main leads Akshaye and Aftab also were terrific with a good change to see the later doing some good acting. Rimi Sen is good and fits into the story well. The rest of the support cast (and there are plenty of them) are well balanced and compliment the story well.

The two backbone characteristics of the movie namely the script and music would have my mixed views. The story is excellent. But the music left something to be desired.

Overall its one of those movies you would watch when you just want to have fun.

Basically this movie gets good when it gets into it's second half Shakti Kapoor and Rajpal Yadav are absolutely stunning they are top of the line in their roles Paresh Rawal excels in his role and the main star cast especially Akshaye Khanna delivers a great job the total misunderstandings which evolve into total chaos delivers for a total 2 and a half hour entertainer Priyadarshan's first entertainer at a crazy comedy i feel is totally worth the attempt especially when i enjoyed his comedy Hulchul which came out after Hungama the songs are OK but the best song is " Mera Dil Tere Paas Rehne Dein" Nadeem-Shravan fans strictly Inever predicted the ending of this movie but i guess it was for the better gut-bursting comedy this is ultimate hilarity at it's best that shouldn't be missed gread job from a Malayalam film director on venture on giving us some Hindi entertainment

Hungama is the best Indian comedy i've ever seen. I'm not an Indian but This movie was truly awesome. I must have seen it 100 times and still I find it very funny. A great theme making people laugh from the beginning till the end of the movie.Paresh Rawal was brilliant as usuall. Akshaye Khanna did good job. Aaftab Shivdasani, Shoma Anand, Shakti Kapoor, Rajpal Yadav, Tiku Talsania did great funny roles. Rimi Sen looks beautiful and very talented. It is so hilarious,it will definitely make you laugh uncontrollably! I have never seen before such this great Indian comedy movie. It is really funny how all the characters have some connection to each other and how continuous misunderstandings among these characters lead to absolute chaos! Whoever wrote the script for this movie is a genius. Now Do watch!!

i normally don't like bollywood films, as i think they are too over-dramatic, and unrealistic but hungama has to be the best Hindi film i have ever seen. although the plot is a bit complicated, i felt the love story emerging was there best bit about the film, as i didn't know what was a going to be the final coupling. it was a film of misunderstandings, which has been done a lot in film, it was still very enjoyable in hungama. the only thing i didn't like was akshaye knanna's character,who i felt was over eager and a bit too cheesy, but i can tolerate him as it was an exceptional film, and i think the more you watch it, the more it will get funnier, but still the best bollywood romantic comedy i have ever seen.

This movie was truly awesome! It is so hilarious, it will definitely make you laugh uncontrollably! I have never a seen such a great comedy. This is now my favorite movie. Paresh Rawal, of course, gave another brilliant performance. Akshaye and Aftab also were terrific. It is really funny how all the characters have some connection to each other and how continuous misunderstandings among these 26 characters lead to absolute chaos! Whoever wrote the script for this movie is a genius. The movie also makes fun of cliched Bollywood scenes. If I could, I would give this movie an 11 out of 10. This is one comedy you cannot afford to miss!
