Golmaal Returns

Golmaal Returns is not an ordinary film but to be most precise a vagrant, bid scale, lavish Spoof-fest..It is spoof of all typicalities of bollywood cinema..It spoofs action, it spoofs romance, it spoofs even comedy and doesn't even spare Rajnikant too..Its not a film but a compilation of about a 1000 jokes rolled into a 2 hour 20 min show..You can say that its an extended Great Indian Laughter Challenge with each actor trying to outsmart the other..

Its strange that even though it has no story, no script, a screenplay which I could write in my sleep, its pretty "SHAQING" enjoyable..You laugh at all though jokes but would still be wondering why cause they are so funny..Its an absolute time pass with a galore of single meaning dialogues(yeah not double meaning)..Its a guilty pleasure I would say..The jokes are all funny barring the atrocious climax where I wished to be doing what each character of the film was trying to do..

Acting wise Tushhar Kapoor was dumb and he was good, so naturally he has been wasting his talent mouthing dialogues till date..Shreyas Talpade is good ..Strange that an actor Of Ajay Devgan's calibre accepted such a role where he is neither funny nor effective..Kareena Kapoor hams but then who in this so called film doesn't..Rest all are wasted(specially Arshad Warsi).

Music is bad and songs are worse..

The rating is so high just because they made me laugh – a lot ! Its asinine for most parts, there are a lot of PJ's thrown in, the plot has more holes than my socks and it drags a bit towards the end. Yet it manages to entertain, crack enough good ones, poke enough fun at the producers, Saawariya or Balaji films to keep us in a state of mild amusement throughout with several sharp upwards spikes in the middle. Thankfully, they chose to abandon the earlier storyline and most of the characters – keeping just a few (I thought the first Golmaal was terrible) so you can peacefully watch it without being at a loss.

Ajay Devgan is married to Kareena, named Ekta in the film just to allow some merciless leg pulling of Ekta Kapoor and her inane serials. They live with their siblings, Kareena's brother Tusshar (who's mute) and Ajay's sister, Amrita Arora. Kareena always suspects Ajay of having affairs and so one night when he doesn't return as he was rescuing damsel in distress, he prefers to lie rather than risk the truth. That lie leads to a lot of complications, some of which involve, Arshad Warsi as the cop who doesn't like Ajay but is in love with his sister, the snake-tattooed guy, a Rani Mukherjee from Saawariya clone, a dead body, men in drag etc etc.

Some of the best moments come when they're ripping off something – there's a hilarious sequence when they're going hell for leather behind the Kingfisher tune (ooh lala le oleo), another where Ajay spouts dialogue mentioning every one of his films, again when Kareena uses all the Hindi serial names or when they use music from 'Tashan' and towards the end when they start beating Tusshar just because he's from Balaji Productions (in real life).

Ajay was very good in this one, Arshad seems to have re-discovered his spontaneity (had been a bit flat in some of his earlier ones), Tusshar was good though I think they over did the mute jokes while Shreyas was wasted in his role – it was too slapstick for his talents. Amongst the women Kareena looked hot (though do you also feel that she's lost too much weight ?), while Celina, thankfully in this one, keeps her clothes on.

I'll leave you with a couple of PJ's that are used – they're both questions really. What would Lara Dutta be called if she married Brian Lara ? Whats the difference between a secretary and a personal secretary ? If the answers (the first one is obvious) can make you smile, then you have a hope of enjoying the film. Else save yourself the effort or the expense. More reviews at ApurvBollywood at blogspot

Simple, great stunts, mindless slapstick comedy. Some jokes don't land. A leave your brain at the door film. Good for a one time watch with family stretched out in front of the television on a Sunday afternoon.

Golmaal Returns is a comedy film directed by Rohit Shetty. The film stars Ajay Devgn, Arshad Warsi, Tusshar Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor, Shreyas Talpade, Amrita Arora, Anjana Sukhani, Celina Jaitly, Sharat Saxena and Murali Sharma.

A man, who lives with his wife, gets stuck in a yacht for a night after he saves an attractive young woman. His wife suspects him of having an affair and decides to uncover the truth.

A big disappointment after the humorous and equally funny Golmaal but if you watch the film without any expectations the film might and will entertain.

The plot of the film is good and the execution is decent. The film is a perfect example of slapstick comedy. The film has some hilarious comedy scenes which will surely tickle your funny bones although some of the jokes will not make you smile.

Screenplay of the film is decent and will keep you engaged throughout most of the part of the film. Side characters like Vrajesh Heerje, Sanjay Mishra, Mukesh Tiwari and Ashwini Kalsekar entertains whenever they are on screen. Climax of the film is funny and hilarious.

Acting is decent and addition of Shreyas Talpade makes a huge impact and makes the film more entertaining, female leads apart from kareena Kapoor didn't have much to do but they didn't disappoints. Arshad, Ajay Devgn and Kareena Kapoor entertains, Tushar Kapoor looks monotonous in some of the scenes and irritates.

Overall a decent mindless, senseless slapstick comedy and can be watched once on a hot lazy Sunday afternoon.

This movie is so stupid that it's funny.I was expecting this movie to be like golmaal-fun unlimited but what I got was all comedy shows wrapped into one.I had a blast with this movie.The jokes are classic.The story lacks some stuff but with the funny chaos going in the movie you have to love it.The music is average with tha kar ke and the title song being the favorite.Performances of Ajay,Shreyas,Tusshar and Arshad are superb.Although Arshad doesn't get a lot of scope.Kareena is the best of the girls.Celina and Amrita are strictly okay.The rest of the cast is good. In conclusion leave your brain at home and have a blast.Golmaal Returns does return and is bigger and better.
