Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal

Goal proves to be better than Vivek Agnihotri's earlier movie Chocolate.

This movie is about a Football Stadium which is leased to South Hall United Club. But cause of poor form and bad run in the league South Hall didn't had much money to pay money for renewing the lease. Now they have to win the league to win the money and renew the lease which is their only hope. So the captain of the team Arshad Warsi brings in Boman Irani as the new coach of South Hall United Club, former legendary player of the club. Boman thinks they have a good defense but the attack isn't that good so he ropes in John Abraham as the striker. John's father is a big fan South Hall Club and always wanted john to player with his community.

will Jhon, Arshad and Boman will be able to win the league for the first time for South Hall Fans ????????

Arshad was very good in the movie but i didn't felt same for John. Boman again proves why people loves him as an actor. Bipasha character is just to provide a love angle not much of weightage but bipasha was good in the short and sweet character.

The climax is one you can say the best part of the movie. So Goal is a one time watch able movie.

The first half of the movie just opens up the story and keeps you imagining for the next half of the story and the second half of the movie is very interesting and exciting. The last 30 minutes of the movie are excellent. The music of the movie is very catchy.

John Abraham is good and perfect for this role. Arshad Warsi is also present throughout the movie and has done a brilliant job here. Boman Irani in a role that demands aggression and intensity is good. Bipasha Basu looks sexy throughout, acts well although her role is limited. Dalip Tahil and the rest of the football players support ably.

The movie is overall good to watch

Let's start with the most important question-Is this a bollywood version of GOAL (2005) starting Kuno Becker? Well, it's definitely a no. And now to the other important question-is it as gripping as its Hollywood counterpart-the answer again is no! But that doesn't mean that DHAN DANA DHAN GOAL isn't watchable. It's an average movie with some interesting sequences.

Set in London (and in particular the South Asian hub Southall), the story revolves around a bankrupt football club-SOUTHALL FC which is struggling to keep itself afloat. It has no sponsors and no money and hasn't won a match in nearly two decades!!! None of its players are professionals but a bunch of full-time dads, butcher shop owner, garage owners etc. It is completely made up of expatriate Indians, Pakistanis and Bangladeshis. Adding to their woes is a greedy commentator cum businessman, played by Dilip Tahil, who wants to grab the ground of the football club to build a shopping mall and theme park. To sum it up the club is in dire straits and the only way of survival is to win their League Championship and get the prize of 3 Million Pounds!!! Really a tough ask for Southall FC.

Thus the story revolves around the resurrection of the football club through a former player of its-played by Boman Irani. This time he takes the mantle of the coach after living in wilderness for 22 years!! Arshad Warsi and John Abraham are the key players of the club around which the team revolves.Bipasha plays the team's doctor.

The main problem with this movie, in my opinion, is that it tries to pack a lot in those reels and that stretches it rather close to 3 hours. That wasn't required. The basic premises is right but the execution isn't. Some sequences are good-like the one that involves Boman Irani trying to convince John Abraham to play for Southall FC. The final match is another sequence that stays with you. I am not too convinced with the racism angle involving John Abraham. And especially, in today's time when an iconic club of England-Arsenal doesn't have one English player in its starting line-up!!! The picturisation is good. The locales of England are something that we bollywood fans have grown use to. But the sequence involving the home ground of Manchester United will please a lot of serious soccer fans! All the performances in the movie are good. John's soccer skills are very very fine! Arshad Warsi and Boman Irani are good too. Bipasha is just there-nothing spectacular on her part! Overall 6/10. Not Too exciting!!

If you're looking for a movie that balances entertainment, emotion, and social commentary, Dhan Dhana Dhan should be at the top of your watchlist. Directed with finesse, this film is a delightful experience that keeps you hooked from start to finish. With stellar performances from John Abraham, Arshad Warsi, and Boman Irani, this movie is a must-watch for cinephiles and casual viewers alike.

The cast is undoubtedly one of the strongest aspects of Dhan Dhana Dhan. John Abraham shines in his role, delivering a performance that showcases his range and versatility. His portrayal is both charismatic and grounded, making him relatable and inspiring at the same time. Arshad Warsi brings his trademark wit and comic timing to the table, infusing the narrative with light-hearted moments that never feel forced. Boman Irani, as always, is a powerhouse of talent. His nuanced performance adds depth to the film, making it a layered and fulfilling experience.

The story of Dhan Dhana Dhan is more than just a tale of triumph or resilience. It incorporates several subplots that enrich the narrative, tackling social issues and personal struggles with sensitivity and care. The film strikes a fine balance between entertainment and substance, ensuring that it appeals to a wide audience.

The songs are catchy and emotional, with lyrics that resonate deeply. Whether it's a high-energy track that lifts your spirits or a soulful melody that tugs at your heartstrings, the music adds an extra layer of appeal to the film. What sets Dhan Dhana Dhan apart from conventional feel-good films is its ability to address a variety of relevant themes seamlessly.

At its core, Dhan Dhana Dhan is a celebration of resilience, teamwork, and the human spirit. It's a film that will make you laugh, cry, and cheer in equal measure. The seamless blend of humor, drama, and social commentary makes it a movie that stays with you long after the credits roll.

i love soccer. i don't normally watch bollywood movies other than the few good ones that get out in a year. however, because of the football angle i decided to give this movie a shot. i suffered. john and bipasha have proved beyond doubt they can't act and the idiotic and shallow characterization only makes it worse. this movie's script/dialog/screenplay/direction is so bad it makes boman and arshad look bad. now those two guys really have a flair to enliven proceedings but even they cant save the movie here. probably the only sensible thing they did was get a soccer choreorapher or whatever the guy who sets up the soccer play is called. but then that also is driven by such a clichéd script it is really not worth anything. if you like football you'd rather just switch to a champions league match to get your dose of soccer action. i rate it 1/10 for making such a bad movie about a sport i love. after this movie i puke every time i see bipasha.
