Yamla Pagla Deewana

I am Deol's fan(specially Dharmendra & Sunny) and know that they could better than lot of people think. There one of the first home production was Dillagi a good movie and good songs, then Apne was also OK and now YPD. The major problem of all these movies I have found is length of the movie and unwanted emotional scenes which attracts to only few people (mainly punjabi's). if Dillagi had climax scene only for 5 mins instead of 15-20 mins It would have been a HIT. If Dharmendra had cried lesser in Apne, it would have also been a HIT. And if they had not showed first half of YPD in Banaras which doesn't suit either of the Deol's, This would have also been a HIT movie. Dharmendra and loving son Bobby was doing 80's conning in the Banaras which is not possible in 2011 and on top of than charming Bobby has to do romance with punjabi girl that too in Banaras and suddenly movie take turn to PUNJAB when real fun starts and which everyone was hoping after watching stunning movie trailer over internet :). It was more like DDLJ kind of drama but more like JAT punjabi style not like Sharukh khan style but it was full of fun, hilarious. I would like to give credit to Mukul Dev which acted really well as drunken punjabi. At the end I would recommend movie to all the Deol's fan but also wanted to write my feeling regarding this movie as well that Deol's cannot make audience cry in funny comedy movie which I guess is become their trademark.

Previously three Deols came together in APNE which was a boxing family drama. With YPD they venture into new territory - comedy. Is this attempt successful ? Yes !

This movie is about journey of sunny paaji to India from Canada in search of his father and younger brother. So first half is dedicated to formation of plot and is based in Benaras. Real fun begins in second half in punjab. With bizarre situation created they succeeds in making you laugh. Dharam paaji, sunny paaji, bobby all are good in there performances but special praise should go to Anupam Kher for his hilarious performance as eldest brother of heroine. There is no much innovation in story, music is average.

Overall a nice entertaining movie. My rating - 7/10

After Apne,the Deols are back with YPD. YPD's first hour is good,but the romantic scenes just do not work and bores you.But the second hour covers it all.In short the second hours just rocks. Having a story which we have seen in many Bollywood movies,Karnik could have worked on the story a little bit then it would have worked big time.But big laughs are guaranteed in the second hour specially. The music is average.Barring the title track,rest all act as speed breakers. Performance wise-The Three Deols are amazing.Kulraj makes a decent debut.Anupam Kher is superb as the Big Brother of Kulraj.Johnny Lever provides laughs.Mukul Dev is truly outstanding.

Overall,YPD is an amazing entertainer.

Promos for YPD have made it a must watch for everyone and the movie fulfills its promise. It starts with a story of lost father Dharam (Dharmendra) and brother Gajodhar (Bobby) in search of whom Paramveer (Sunny) comes from canada to India. He founds them at the start only but the problem is to make them loose their habit of mugging up people and bring them back to his mother. The funniest parts come in when he joins them. After Interval movie picks up pace and gets funnier. In between Gajodhar falls in love with a sikh girl sahiba (Kulraj Randhawa)and a new funny story of trying to run with that girl starts as her 5 brothers wants her to marry an NRI only. Paramvir helps them to run but gets himself involved. Then Dharam gets in it and stuck. Then the whole family gets involved in this matter. Good Jokes on sunny's supernatural hulk behavior are everywhere in this movie. Bobby's role is different from all other movies. Songs are average except Title Song. Movie is an absolute watch for everyone.

I am energetic, happy and glad after watching 'Yamla Pagla Deewana'. Director Samir Karnik brings the 3 Deols together, with such an interesting story, that you fall in love with them.

'Yamla Pagla Deewana' is an out-and-out time-pass fare that entertains it's viewer. The First hour is good, but the Second hour is an absolute knock-out. After 'Dabangg' and 'G3', here comes an entertainer that is sure to be remembered!

The writing is spot-on, which is filled with entertaining moments and awesome one-liners. Samir Karnik's direction is perfect. Cinematography is damn good. Stunts are excellent. The soundtrack is nice.

Performance-Wise: Dharmendra, Sunny & Bobby are in terrific form. They play their parts with ease. Kulraj is decent. In the supporting cast, Anupam Kher, Mukul Dev, Sucheta Khanna, Puneet Issar and Johny Lever are simply superb. Emma Brown is passable.

On the whole, A Fun Ride that deserves a watch. Go for the Deols! Thumbs Up!
