Source: http://j.mp/iM18KQ Disclaimer: I enjoyed Dhamaal!
Double Dhamaal comes on the heels of the many recent Hindi movie sequels, which have not had the best track record. However the trailer and reviews made the movie sound promisingly funny. After the disastrous viewing of Always… kabhi kabhi I really hoping for a good comedy experience.
However Double Dhamaal was not as funny as it was being made out to be. It had its funny moments but they were few and far. The best scene was the imitation of Shah Rukh Khan being identified as that of a farm animal. The songs seemed forced and except for Jalebi Bai none of them were enjoyable. Mallika smoked in the song and danced well.
The boys acted well but Ritesh Deshmukh stood out, especially in his disguise as the wealthy Gujrati investor. Ashish Choudhary deserves special mention for his fantastic disguise as a hot female who funnily enough looked a lot like Neha Dhupia! For the girls, I preferred Mallika Sherawat as Kangana seemed to overact which made her look very uncomfortable and weird even.
All in all, the basic promise of out and out comedy was not fulfilled though the movie is watchable for light entertainment and definitely for the scene imitating Shah Rukh Khan.
