Dhamaal- AVOID at all costs !
A mish mash of scenes copied from Johnny English, Mr.Bean, Road Trip and a whole lot of other movies makes Dhamaal watchable only for purposes of sheer trivia...and the name of the game is Guess the Original!
A story that takes ages to be introduced, some painful acting by Javed Jaffrey in a Bean-esque role, some more overacting by all the others, painful music by Adnan Sami, jokes that were two decades old with no punchlines,a landlady whose Punjabi accent disappears in half a scene..I cannot go on...a crap-all of the worst kind..it was so enervating that I decided to walk out mid way, despite having thought earlier that I should wait until the interval, and give it a chance to improve...
Please do watch the movie if -
i) you have nothing better to do
ii) and it is on TV.
Do not waste time and money on it, if you have seen the others..given that my friends and I were the only people not laughing in the hall, I would solely blame our over-exposure to Hollywood as the reason why we could see the originals before the jokes were delivered.
Its a labour even writing a review of such a bad movie...I quit !
