Malamaal Weekly

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.

Let's admit it, Bollywood can't really pull off a comedy - not since Andaaz Apna Apna have we seen a decent comedy make it to the silver screen. I'm sick of all these talentless newbies coming into the industry and appearing in "comedies" that are nothing but annoying screaming and complete idiocy.

This movie though made me laugh right through. The chemistry between the main characters was fantastic and the acting was superb by the 3 main old dudes. Asrani was also FANTASTIC! The jokes, the reactions, etc were perfectly delivered. The story, although predictable, was a refreshing change and it never felt over cooked and the jokes stayed true to the story line.

Good light hearted film!

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.

Two hours of full comedy, romance and drama. Enjoyed every bit of this film. Starring legendary actors like Om Puri, Paresh Rawal, Asrani etc.

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!
