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.

I have to say that I have never seen a movie with more comedy then this one.... In the movie many stories are progressing in parallel and all of them are beautifully inter-linked. You have to give the story writer the due credit for keeping all stories inter linked. I cant find even a single bad point in this movie. Even the songs are very good specially the video of "Chain aapko Mila".... Never ever I like to see a video of a song more then once but I must have seen it hundreds of times and still I find it hilarious.... The best part of the movie is of course Paresh rawal with his acting. I think all the characters have done justice to their role.

I watched this movie because I'm an Akshaye Khanna nut. Although I was sad to see he wasn't in more scenes, clearly it's better to have a supporting role (with top billing!) in a good film than the lead in a bad one.

The plot of this story has so many twists and turns that whomever wrote it should get a literary award. The way the characters are linked together is truly clever and hilarious. I think this movie is 10 times funnier than Hera Pheri.

And, none of the actors disappoint! How great is that?

Very entertaining. 9 out of 10

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.
