Dhoondte Reh Jaoge

The problem is that when they chose a story, they don't even think that it is good or not, they just go with it. What is the problem with these directors and producers how they are so bad in decision making.

A one time watch movie just because of Dilip Joshi, and Paresh Rawal. Enjoy If you can!

Umesh Shukla is a zany filmmaker & 'Dhoondte Reh Jaoge' proves that.

'Dhoondte Reh Jaoge' is about two-good-for-nothing guys who plan to make a Flop film. A unique & crazy idea! Some jokes are so so funny that you get into a full-throated roar! While some are like Akshay Kumar's comedy films, completely bland.

The first hr is entertaining, the second is not. It picks up in The pre-climax, when the premiere takes place... it's hilarious! Especially the so-done Lagaan portion. The climax, however, leaves no impact. But I don't know why, I get a strong feeling that this film will gain a Cult following in the coming years.

Performance wise, Paresh Rawal & Johny Lever rule the show, with their impeccable comic-timing. Both are superb. Kunal Khemu is lovable. The highly-talented guy isn't getting his due. Right from his childhood days to now, his acting has always been super. Sadly, none of his films have done well, and neither has made a huge fan-base. Let's hope he gets what he deserves in the coming time. Sonu Sood is passable. Soha Ali Khan is, as usual, dull. Dilip Joshi stands out. Shabbir Ahmed is excellent in a cameo.

This is surely not a good film, but much better than the crap going on right now.

An underrated comedy that will cheer u up from any kind of disappointment/depression. One must surrender to its spoofs.

Dhoonte Reh Jaoge for logic in the plot of this film, akin to the attempt of super-flop film Kunal & Paresh are making.

For starters, what was the logic behind the actors signing the dotted line. Beats me!!!

Kunal Khemu seems to be a good actor who at least is serious about giving his 100%. However, the accountant with locks of hair is not good characterisation.

Soha Ali Khan is hopeless. The only time her performance was average was in RDB. Safe to say, another spoilt star-child.

Paresh Rawal is passable.

Watching Sonu Sood requires pain-killer.

Johnny Lever finally gets some work after his self-imposed exile owing to the sudden emergence of the stalwarts on the TV comedy shows. Nevertheless, his idea of comedy is well past sell by date.

Hrishita Bhatt & Deepal Shaw were hardly there.

An attempt to make a spoof of movie is novel idea (it works in Hollywood) and if some serious writing was done, I am sure this movie would have worked wonders.

Bollywood in 2000-2010 era produced some masterpiece comedies some of which I don't even have to name. Dhoondte Reh Jaoge is definitely not one of them. This film feels like director Umesh Shukla tried to be some Priyadarshan or Anees Bazmee and tried making a different kind of "Tees maar Khan " kind of film atleast from the plot it seems like that. Umesh however only gets 30% success .

Most of the comedy scenes don't work and most of them seem hamming . Some scenes desperately try to make you laugh by adding that weird funny "Toing" like music but it fails. Umesh shukla is no Priyadarshan or anees bazmee, both of whom could have better made this film. Umesh has better works like 102 not out, OMG like films.

Having said that, this film is not entirely unfunny hence I gave it 4 stars at least. As per the title of my review, the hilarious spoof film they show at the climax is way more funnier than the entire film itself no matter how mindless it is, the notable ones being that hilarious Himesh Reshammiya duplicate lol, then the three duplicates of sonu sood that made me go ROFL, then that duplicate thakur who constantly signals a boundary with his legs LMAO. Even the name of the fake film production company is hilarious "Charsubishi films ( more like a suspicious version of Mitsubishi)" .These were the elements that made the film somewhat funny as a slapstick comedy.

But overall, Sonu Sood doesn't fit in comedy films at all. Paresh Rawal and Kunal Khemmu are decent. Soha Ali Khan is also decent. My God, Dilip Joshi is absolutely painful to watch and becomes super irritating with his broken bengali. Asrani was like a regular go-to man in every comedy in those days but he has got nothing much to do here. Johnny lever too brings in some laughs.

Overall, go in with 0 expectations if you wanna watch this film on netflix/YouTube. Don't expect a 2000s era Priyadarshan or Anees Bazmee kind of film but then I guarantee you there are definitely some moments which will make you genuinely chuckle.
