Garam Masala

I had tremendous expectations from the movie, which was marketed really well and had all the ingredients of a potential blockbuster. The casting was done really well with all great comedians in Akshay Kumar, Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, and the really popular John Abraham. The cast was given a storyline that was really good (although a copy from Jerry Lewis' movie Boeing Boeing), and in the hands of a director that has proved class in comedies in his previous creations (such as Hera Pheri, Hungama, Hulchul).

I think the sold house in the first weekend of its release was truly disappointed with the movie. There were no original moments of laughter in the movie with most of the jokes pretty stale and tried out previously. The plot, although not original, was pretty new to the Indian cinema and was the only saving grace of the film. But that too seemed too hastily done. To me it just seemed a good story line taken to the drain with some bad direction.

All in all, it just seemed like the film makers wanted to get the movie over by Diwali and hurried up in the production. I really didn't believe I would be saying this but - I would not recommend watching it really, and would seriously wait for it to release on DVD to rent it out.

Awesome movie n superb acting by akshay kumar, pareshaan rawal n john abraham. In one word its a classic.

Now i really liked this movie, it was so funny.Both Akshay Kumar and John Abraham are brilliant actors, i think after watching this film they should do lots more films together in the future.

Akshay Kumar gets himself into a bit of trouble by dating 3 women at the same time, but the way he handles in when one comes out of the door and then the other one was just so funny to watch, he acted really well int his film and i hope that he makes more great comedy's like this one in the future, John Abraham plays his best friend, he plays his role really well and he is so underrated i am glad that some of his amazing work has got noticed but he is a really Good actor. i just love John, Neha Dhupia has a small role in this film and plays it well.

The muse is really good i really recommend this movie to everyone.

This film is an example of how good Akshay Kumar is in comedies. He is great in his role; he deservedly won the filmfare award for best performance in a comic role for his performance. John Abraham does his part well alongside Akshay in the lead roles. Paresh Rawal did well in his supporting role. Manoj Joshi and Rimi Sen did their parts well as did Neha Dhupia. The story of this is one that promises the audience a lot of comedy scenes, and it doesn't fail to deliver them. The music isn't that good to be honest. Still, it is worth watching for the comedy.

Verdict: good comedy - definitely watch it. I give it 7.5/10

Garam Masala is one of those movies that I can watch endlessly without ever getting bored. It's a laugh riot from start to finish, packed with hilarious situations, witty dialogues, and characters that are simply unforgettable. It has been a favorite of mine since childhood, and even after all these years, its charm hasn't faded.

Akshay Kumar steals the show with his impeccable comic timing, effortlessly nailing every funny moment with his antics and expressions. John Abraham, back when he showed surprising acting chops, holds his own alongside Akshay. Their chemistry and constant chaos make the movie a joy to watch. Paresh Rawal, as always, brings his A-game, adding a layer of brilliance to the already chaotic madness.

The plot is a wild, over-the-top ride, but that's exactly what makes it so enjoyable. It's pure comedy without taking itself too seriously, filled with misunderstandings, awkward situations, and Akshay juggling multiple lies to hilarious effect.

The music adds to the fun, with tracks like Ada and Kiss Me Baby capturing the playful tone of the film. Even after so many years, the gags still land perfectly, proving that the humor was way ahead of its time.

Priyadarshan's direction ensures the comedy flows seamlessly, and while the story might lack depth, it never pretends to be anything more than a laugh-out-loud entertainer. Garam Masala is a movie that belongs to every childhood memory of mine, and it remains a comedy classic that I revisit every chance I get.
