Hulchul

If you people expect the movie to be in line with Priyadarshan's old laugh riots like Hera Pheri, and Hungama, you are sadly mistaken. It's nowhere near it. But it's not a bad movie either. Watch the movie for effortless Arshad Warsi, and K. P. Saxena's fantastic dialogues.

The biggest mistake writer-director did was mixing drama with comedy. His earlier movies were out and out comedies. But in this movie, the highly over the top drama dwarfed comedy considerably. Crowding the movie with so many characters was another folly. Can you believe that Paresh Rawal has decent scenes only after interval ?

But as I said, K. P. Saxena's has done some outstanding work. For e.g. 'Bhaiyya, Kab Tak Palang Ke Dono Taraf se Uth-te Rahoge ?' This was to indicate for how long 'Bhaiyya' intends to remain unmarried. Arshad Warsi, meanwhile, continued from where he left in MunnaBhai M.B.B.S. Paresh Rawal was good in the limited scope he was given. Rest of the performances ranged from OK to bad.

Those who were planning to watch the movie in theatre should drop the idea. Compact Disc might be the better one.
