golmaal

GolMaal is a great movie, perhaps the best comedy ever by Bollywood. Story so powerful and close to your life that you can actually identify yourself somewhere in the film so genuine events and above all the way Utpal dutt say "maaf nahi main tujhe saaf kar doonga" just bowled you over and you make a mental note while watching the film that you have to watch it again and again. Just a minute did I hear some one ask "isn't utpal dutt is no more?" sure he is no more. Than isn't this piece is suppose to be about the new released golmaal ? Well yes it does suppose to be, than why am I talking about that golmaal????? Because etiquettes say that we should talk only good things about anyone and well golmaal have nothing good to talk about, no story no link of one thing to other and above all the confusion of our beloved director rohit shetty that what he wanted to make? a mystery, a youth "I care a damn" flick, an out and out comedy or what not. He made every thing in the end; he made a disaster on celluloid.


Ok we should not expect logic in comedy movies we should not expect them not to sing songs at most abnormal situation and we should not expect them to give old rishikeshda a run for his money but at least we can expect good songs (are yana gupta ka babuji bhi chalega bhai) shouldn't we expect a wire thin storyline on which things are moving and shouldn't we expect something more than individual brilliance? If you are rohit shetty your answer is you should not?


Story starts with four pranks puling off rabbits, elephants, dodo and dinosaurs from hat while doing mischief for their survival (no not roti kapada aur makaan but for wine and you guess it right jua) so they keep on collecting money from students don't pay for their ragada paav (or whatever I hate junk food of Mumbai cause its really junk) but sorry they don't have money to pay for their mo-bike repair and still prefer a mechanic who is DON and fan of sanju baba (why no one told about this profession to our other BHAI in Mumbai) who is always after them for recovery so much so that his name is vasooli (recovery) arshad manage to run from him by fooling him saying he looks like sanjubaba and can make it big in bollywood ;oh aftaab you were so wonderful doing it with johny lever in love ke liye kuchh bhi karega that this copy is just what kayamat is for "the rock".


Than finally one day principal sahib asks them to leave the college (he had been doing so since last 10 years) and they do. Why!!!!!!!!! because he asked them politely. And than story moved to the bungalow of paresh rawal (if you ever want to waste money sign paresh in your movie and ask rohit to direct it) where this blind couple has been waiting for their pota to come from America since last 22 years, they impersonate to be samir the pota (they because sharman is the body of samir and ajay devgan is his voice) they stay their with some more repeated event of comedy and in between keep hitting the hit man of another don on the mission to grab a sandook from rawal's house, why this don is after sandook, didn't I tell you there is a secret? And in between try to woo the neighbor rimi sen. And devgan being the leader of the gang always get lion's share (or should I say only he get share) from her. After what seems to be a long series of unrelated and 'comical' events. We are where we normally land up. yuppie a chaotic fight scene and if you are expecting something like andaaz apna apna or say hera pheri sorry dude you are in for a good bore piece. Where a remorseful devgan and party are determined to save dadajis treasure from this don and accomplish the mission. sorry guys guys & gals I can't tell you what the mission is, after all if after so much of feedback you still want to watch the movie you have to have some thrill (in other words why you don't suffer as I did). Ok you want some clue? Watch saransh (another great movie probably the last remain proof of bhatt saabs brilliance).


So isn't there is anything good in the movie? let me recall umm .. well yes tushar (I am sorry jumaniji I cant remember your suggested spelling of the name and so I am using as common man write his name) kapoor and arshad warsi strictly in that order yes tushar is a surprise package as a deaf man and prove the point that his acting as the good guy with bad luck in kya cool hai hum wasn't a fluke though he still has miles to catch ritesh deshmukh and I tell you this so that you don't get a heart attack in the hall. after all its difficult to get medical treatment and what's the point in disturbing fellow viewer who are in such sound sleep.


Ajay devgan is a real waste probably he is part of cast to show that sharman joshi is 10 year younger to them in the college , another great part of movie is that sharman want to be cancer specialist and so he is studying in "****bai college of arts and commers" what a noble solution for all the reservation tussle arjun singh ji are u watching? Some one can be cancer specialist by reading wali-miyan sheikh-peer, I mean William Shakespeare and no no vivek (he is from mithibai if I am right ) don't get angry and please don't take another morcha to producers house its not mithi bai for sure though I forgot actual name we already have enough problems in Mumbai.


But if you want to watch it badly don't worry go ahead a lady in the hall was watching it second time in two days at INOX (I tell you these gujjus have more money than they know how to spend properly) and she was also determined to guard the secret like me. May be I don't understand multiplex audience or may be she wanted to fool her family member as well. you may like it but if you do. please do me a favor don't watch original golmaal you will be sorry for that.


But if you dont want to watch this movie you are lucky.
