    Brainless Comedy - Sajid Style

    Fresh from one of the biggest debacle in Indian cinema, Sajid Khan presents to you his tried and tested formula of brainless comedy. It is conspicuous that Sajid tries hard to tickle the funny bones of the audience. He doesn't shy away from using his own formula of confusion, using clichéd homosexual gags, imitation of actors, making fun of his own films and even copying scenes from movie such as scary movie which itself is a parody and not considered a classic by any standard. The movie is a no brain-er and in the starting half an hour makes you wonder whether it was meant only for kindergarten children. The plot has hardly anything to discuss, songs act as a loo break, acting flawed at some places and technical part, well let's say it was never a forte of Sajid.

    But all faults apart though the movie totally departs from the established logic of world we see, it performs well in what it was meant to i.e evoke laughs. Yes the movie in parts do evoke laughs (even if its on the sheer stupidity of the movie )and the best part being it never takes itself too seriously so you could just join in the fun without straining your brain. Acting wise Ritesh has done many such roles so he seemed very natural, Ram Kapoor shows how good an actor he is by handling those cheeky scenes, Saif tries hard but frankly some scenes were not meant for him ,actresses hardly had anything to do but Tamanna shows potential. Overall if you are a movie buff and have been waiting for a movie this movie drought season this might bring you some respite, if you keep your brain at home also this is worth a watch if you want to enjoy a clean comedy with family, especially kids. If you are not a fan of Sajid Khan,Saif Ali or brainless comedy this one is definitely not for you.

    Don't Waste Your Money & Time In This Clueless & Useless Movie

    I watched this movie on Friday, first day first show and have lot of expectation from it, but after watching this movie i had a headache and there was nothing to laugh in the film, there was clueless comedy which doesn't make you laugh and that's why lot of people from cinema ran out from the middle of the film, I also thought to do the same, but hoping that may be this film will have something in the middle or end, but i am extremely disappointed that why i have not left the film and saved my time. This film shows that Sajid Khan didn't learn any lesson from the failure of HimmatWala and yet another Flop film is given by him. If you watch this movie you will waste your time, energy and as well as money. At some of the scenes you will laugh on Saif Ali Khan and Ritesh Dekhmukh comedy, but there are lot of repetition of one comic scene that lay down the movie.

    Please don't torture yourself!

    Yes you read it right! Actually i can sum up the whole review in just 3 words - WASTE OF TIME, but since I have to reach the maximum of 10 lines i will just have to continue. Well who doesn't know nowadays what Sajid Khan is incapable of so I don't think there is much needed about the direction part. Music is 'not music' to the ears. Performance wise - just forget it. All in all this is a movie which you should avoid even if it comes on TV without ads, because if you spend those 2+ hours staring at the ceiling will be better. The movie falls flat in almost all aspects. Well not almost it does fall flat in all aspects! A note to Sajid Khan - Please do not make any more movies coz we are better without such torture in the name of Indian Cinema.

    Garbage !! Sajid Khan's movies had and never will work even if he uses "H" in his future movies

    As I begin writing my views on Sajid Khan's Humshakkals, the thought that do come to mind is that how silly and crap a movie can be made with massive budget , high cost production, popular star cast and widely distributed by Hollywood studio Fox Star ? There are movies like Shahid and Bheja Fry with high quality content and shoe string budget ( 80 lakhs and 50 lakhs respectively, yes you read it right ) and yet managed to impress the audience. Why do we have people like Sajid Khan making films and yet actors like Saif Ali Khan are working with him ?

    Humshakkals is a comedy of errors centered around 3 people who look alike each other.

    From the disaster movies like Housefull , Housefull 2 and Himmatwala, comes another "H" titled Humshakkals in which the definition of Story, Script and direction does not fit it. Sajid Khan dedicates the movie to likes of Jim Carrey in the beginning but at least you tend to laugh at Carry's crazy antics. In Humshakkals, you will wonder how amateurish can Sajid Khan get. Imagine a scene where there is a chain of slapping between Riteish, Saif , Ram Kapoor and Satish Shah with Shah quoting it as Slapstick Comedy. Editing is horrible. The torture goes on for almost 3 hours. Art direction is good. Cinematography is nice. Songs are pathetic. Among all the actors, Ram Kapoor gives an honest performance.

    Overall, avoid Humshakkals at any cost. Sajid Khan's movies had and never will work even if you uses "H" in his future movies. Garbage 1/5

    worst

    Worst acting. Worst direction. Worst story line. Nothing is good about the movie except music. Thanks to Himesh for adding a plus point. Its not 9 time entertainer, it will give 9 time headache. Saif is the worst of all — he is unconvincing as the man behaving as a dog, as the waitress. Just about everything he does in the movie is like he's just sleep-walking. With no story or comedy on offer, even Riteish and Ram are unable to save the day for Sajid Khan. Skip this movie if you do not want a bad headache and other after-effects of being tortured.No start we can afford for this crap. There is no option to give 0 or -ve rating, it deserves this only. Among all the actors Saif is at worst. Even a Himmatwala cannot watch this.
