The rating is so high just because they made me laugh a lot ! Its asinine for most parts, there are a lot of PJ's thrown in, the plot has more holes than my socks and it drags a bit towards the end. Yet it manages to entertain, crack enough good ones, poke enough fun at the producers, Saawariya or Balaji films to keep us in a state of mild amusement throughout with several sharp upwards spikes in the middle. Thankfully, they chose to abandon the earlier storyline and most of the characters keeping just a few (I thought the first Golmaal was terrible) so you can peacefully watch it without being at a loss.
Ajay Devgan is married to Kareena, named Ekta in the film just to allow some merciless leg pulling of Ekta Kapoor and her inane serials. They live with their siblings, Kareena's brother Tusshar (who's mute) and Ajay's sister, Amrita Arora. Kareena always suspects Ajay of having affairs and so one night when he doesn't return as he was rescuing damsel in distress, he prefers to lie rather than risk the truth. That lie leads to a lot of complications, some of which involve, Arshad Warsi as the cop who doesn't like Ajay but is in love with his sister, the snake-tattooed guy, a Rani Mukherjee from Saawariya clone, a dead body, men in drag etc etc.
Some of the best moments come when they're ripping off something there's a hilarious sequence when they're going hell for leather behind the Kingfisher tune (ooh lala le oleo), another where Ajay spouts dialogue mentioning every one of his films, again when Kareena uses all the Hindi serial names or when they use music from 'Tashan' and towards the end when they start beating Tusshar just because he's from Balaji Productions (in real life).
Ajay was very good in this one, Arshad seems to have re-discovered his spontaneity (had been a bit flat in some of his earlier ones), Tusshar was good though I think they over did the mute jokes while Shreyas was wasted in his role it was too slapstick for his talents. Amongst the women Kareena looked hot (though do you also feel that she's lost too much weight ?), while Celina, thankfully in this one, keeps her clothes on.
I'll leave you with a couple of PJ's that are used they're both questions really. What would Lara Dutta be called if she married Brian Lara ? Whats the difference between a secretary and a personal secretary ? If the answers (the first one is obvious) can make you smile, then you have a hope of enjoying the film. Else save yourself the effort or the expense. More reviews at ApurvBollywood at blogspot

Pros:1.Great performances by Shreyas and Tushar. Tushar brings a smile on your face with his antics. 2.Crisp dialogues are a highlight of this film. 3.Ajay Devgan essays his role very well. 4.On the whole, very funny film. Cons:1.A very weak script spoils the film. 2.Film is dragged in the second half. 3.Some characters are unnecessary. 4.Arshad Warsi is wasted. 5.Music is one dimensional. Verdict: Overall, it is an entertaining film to say the least. However, some poor editing and bad script writing are blemishes on the film. To cut a long story short, GR is NOT a worthy sequel to Golmaal-1. You can watch it, if pure humour and baseless entertainment is your cup of tea.

Rohit Shetty, chooses to remake an old bollywood comedy in the form of his "Golmaal Returns". The story is heavily based on an under-rated, 1973 released, Bollywood comedy called "Aaj Ki Taaza Khabar" featuring Kiran Kumar, Radha Saluja, I. S. Johar & Asrani. In fact Asrani also got a Filmfare Award for his performance as "Champak Bhumiya".
The plot revolves around a suspicious wife (Kareena) and her husband (Ajay Devgan). To explain, why he was out of the house a whole night, Ajay makes up a story and then it goes on & on creating new difficulties for him. Actually Ajay was stuck while saving Celina Jaitely from some bad elements and had to spend a night in a friend's place with her. However in the original movie, the real happening was more innovative, where the hero gets stuck on a giant wheel (in an amusement park) whole night with a young girl, due to power failure.
So the idea of first main scene, borrowed, was not adapted well. Feeling a low, I still had expectations from the movie as it was progressing, but coudn't find much to laugh and enjoy since the plot was not new for me. Rohit, the director, could not create the same old magic, which was there in his first part. The film goes on & on with no strong storyline up and makes un-impactful attempts to make you laugh.
The two people who give some scenes to enjoy are Tushar & Shreyas. Tushar still shows the magic in his funny language and Shreyas displays his great talent for comedies again. Ajay Devgan was OK in his part with no support from Arshad Warsi. In simple words, Arshad is wasted in an underwritten role and has got nothing to show. Kareena plays the role of a suspicious wife in a good way, but the role was not meant for her and it looks like she was added to the cast only for more commercial values. Celina Jailtely, Amrita Arora & Anjana Sukhani, all are simply there to fill up the screen space with nothing really written for them in the script.
Instead of an original "Champak Bhumiya" (in Aaj Ki Taaza Khabar), this time we have "Anthony Gonsalves" as the imaginary character who turns out to be existing live. The name and the act done by the comedian is a great let down if compared to the original source. Whereas in the first part "Golmaal", there are rarely scenes that make you bore, here in this sequel you find it tough to find the scenes you can enjoy with a great laughter. So it is not a well made sequel, quality wise. Though it has a more glossier star-cast this time. As usual, songs are just thrown away in unwanted places just to give you break for your snacks. And moreover no particular song registers itself in your mind.
The climax is the most annoying part and is quite similar to like you have earlier seen in many "Priyadarshan" comedies. Where the entire star cast comes together on the screen and tries to generate laughter indulging themselves in some funny sequences. But here it fails to create a similar impact. So in all, the movie fails to keep the promise its name suggested, "Golmaal Returns".
However, like the current trend, if the film-makers are only interested to get a good initial in the first 3-4 days and don't care about what happens to the film later on, then "Golmaal Returns" may give them back their money. But quality cinema is no where in the frame here.

It's good for time pass. It's not a great comedy film but not bad. It's funny in at times. Some scenes are really funny. Though I agree it's not the best of film

Oh man!!!!!!Seems like the sequels are going overboard with the success of PHIR HERA PHERI, KRISSH, DHOOM 2 But this film thankfully didn't become a big hit The film is nothing but actually a typical senseless brainless comedy Actually nowadays it's become a formula for a hit comedy: It should have 4 actors It should have some heroines who get some scope here and there it should have senseless running around jokes It should have jokes on other actors and films oh damn This film has all this in excess The film is a copy of AAJ KI TAAZA KHABBAR(1973), A film i came to know only when i read about it on the newspapers and reviews after this film released The film is just boring sadly, none of the jokes made me laugh mostly there are some funny ones like Ajay changing channels of the TV and then some more But mostly the film has c grade type of jokes already done to death What with, Tusshar and Shreyas doing a tom and jerry type cartoon comedy in their first scene together The story is non existent, comedy is unbearable and not even funny mostly Many scenes are just unwanted and the much hyped THA KAR KE comes across as stupid and forced
he climax is one of the worst climaxes of all time, actually takes the film to the death completely
Rohit Shetty should get off his comedies and try something better Music is okay, luckily only 1 song in the screenplay
Performances Ajay Devgan doesn't overact, and does well in some scenes but his role is hardly that great, for him Shreyas Talpade is quite funny at places, especially in the scene where he acts like a girl
Tusshar repeats his GOLMAAL act with even more weird noises Arshad Warsi seems to have just seen a DVD of a Marathi comedy film, or some south comedy and overacts and hams so badly it hurts Vrajesh Hirjee is boring Kareena is unbearable, she doesn't impress Amrita Arora and Anjana are as good as not there Murli Sharma just repeats his earlier act Sanjay Mishra is typecast, while Celina Jaitley has her moments

Simple, great stunts, mindless slapstick comedy. Some jokes don't land. A leave your brain at the door film. Good for a one time watch with family stretched out in front of the television on a Sunday afternoon.

Golmaal Returns is not an ordinary film but to be most precise a vagrant, bid scale, lavish Spoof-fest..It is spoof of all typicalities of bollywood cinema..It spoofs action, it spoofs romance, it spoofs even comedy and doesn't even spare Rajnikant too..Its not a film but a compilation of about a 1000 jokes rolled into a 2 hour 20 min show..You can say that its an extended Great Indian Laughter Challenge with each actor trying to outsmart the other..
Its strange that even though it has no story, no script, a screenplay which I could write in my sleep, its pretty "SHAQING" enjoyable..You laugh at all though jokes but would still be wondering why cause they are so funny..Its an absolute time pass with a galore of single meaning dialogues(yeah not double meaning)..Its a guilty pleasure I would say..The jokes are all funny barring the atrocious climax where I wished to be doing what each character of the film was trying to do..
Acting wise Tushhar Kapoor was dumb and he was good, so naturally he has been wasting his talent mouthing dialogues till date..Shreyas Talpade is good ..Strange that an actor Of Ajay Devgan's calibre accepted such a role where he is neither funny nor effective..Kareena Kapoor hams but then who in this so called film doesn't..Rest all are wasted(specially Arshad Warsi).
Music is bad and songs are worse..

Golmaal Returns is back again with full of entertainment and enjoyment. I had to clear at first that Golmaal was not in my comedy hit list since I didn't really like it although it was positively received. To me it was a damn senseless and boring story, also performances were not deeply committed by the actors.
But this second version of Golmaal is quiet hilarious and hope it can be one of the best comedies of 2008. The most noticeable case with director Rohit is that he mostly repeats his favourite cast in his every movie. That includes – Ajay Devgan, Arshad Warsi, Mukesh Tiwari, Sanjay Mishra etc. This time he made a bit masala of suspense and action than Golmaal but comedy is still his favourite subject. The screenplay and dialogues are really impressive, which ignite to concentrate on the story. The new additions to this series are Shreyas Talpade, Anju Shuklani and Amrita Arora who were not in Golmaal. But Shreyas strongly proved that he is not less than Sharman who was originally casted as Laxman Prasad in the first version. This difference of casting was also handled differently by the director in t he story where Gopal (Ajay) meets Laxman (Shreyas) and asks his name, when after learning he replied there was also another Laxman Prasad who passed away. He takes out the picture of Sharman and shows to Shreyas.
Arshad Warsi as inspector Madhav also performed superbly better than Golmaal, where as Tusshar is the best in his role as a deaf but true romantic barber. And as Gopal done by Ajay Devgan, I had to say this is one of his best comedian parts he has offered in his career. He improved a lot after his previous comedies like Pyar To Hona Hi Tha, Ishq, Sunday, Hum Kisise Kum Nahin or Golmaal.
There is no doubt that Golmaal Returns is a clean and fresh movie without any dark side. This made the movie to be successful with majority of audiences.

Exactly, thats what it is. I was expecting a lot from this movie because the promos looked kind of funny. This movie is nothing but stupidness combined with bad direction, bad acting and a good songs.
Seriously, Kareena Kapoor ruined her repertoire, why did she agree to do this role? - Tushar Kapoor was really funny in Golmaal : Fun Unlimited, thats because he didn't make THAT much noise in the first one. In this movie he irritates you with his noise. - Ajay Devgan is a good actor, but here he was bad bad bad, he should't do movies just because Rohit shetty is his friend. - Arshad Warsi was the man of the screen, he and the songs managed to get four stars out of me from this movie. He is hilarious! As usual. - Celina Jaitley looks beautiful but seriously has no scope. 5/6 minutes maybe? - Shreyas Talpade deserves better roles, not roles like he had in this movie and Aggar.
This movie is only worth watching for the very few funny moments (maybe 5 minutes of laughter in the whole three hours?) and the songs, the last 1 minute of the movie by Tusshar Kapoor cracked me up! Best 1 minute out of the movie!
I hope they don't make Golmaal 3! And if they do, please let Priyadarshan be the director!
Stay Away and catch the last 1 minute and the song clips somewhere on Youtube!

This movie is so stupid that it's funny.I was expecting this movie to be like golmaal-fun unlimited but what I got was all comedy shows wrapped into one.I had a blast with this movie.The jokes are classic.The story lacks some stuff but with the funny chaos going in the movie you have to love it.The music is average with tha kar ke and the title song being the favorite.Performances of Ajay,Shreyas,Tusshar and Arshad are superb.Although Arshad doesn't get a lot of scope.Kareena is the best of the girls.Celina and Amrita are strictly okay.The rest of the cast is good. In conclusion leave your brain at home and have a blast.Golmaal Returns does return and is bigger and better.

I don't know how people have given this movie a 9 or a ten, even if it very funny. A 9 or a 10 should only be given to a movie that deserves it. Golmaal Returns wants to be rated between three and five. The director himself admits that he doesn't believe that it would get any awards.
Golmaal was fun, yet I would've given it a six because my rating limit or the limit that I have imposed in my mind regarding the ratings wouldn't change. I cannot suddenly give movies like Pyaasi Aatma 6 or 7 because it absolutely doesn't deserve or want such ratings.
The sequel manages to get some laughter, but most of it it corny.The are a string of characters with a plethora of stories inserted as if the director worked in the absence of a script. The story was worse that Z-grade ones. At least the first one had a solid plot (solid in the sense visible, not strong).This one has plots within plot, making a complete stew out of it.
Well, I'll have to admit that this is a welcome change from the Yash Raj films and the Great Indian comedy show, that latter which refuses to be funny due to the presence of Siddhu who laughs like a hyena.
Tusshar Kapoor manages to raise the bar efficiently. But when the movie started with his scene at the parlor, he sounded annoying. But he managed to pull it off afterward. Ajay Devgan tries to be funny but isn't due to his rushed comic timing. The Ekta tattoo scene could've been funnier if he didn't reveal it is such a quick way.
Shreyas Talpade was really funny and his acting is the saving grace because he doesn't sound irritating. And the fourth actor.... oh yeah Arshad Warsi. He was completely wasted.
The actresses looked sexy in the first song. I wish most of their roles would've ended after that. Kareena was funny in the confusion scenes for a while but then just got too annoying. Amrita Arora, oh the new girl?... oh sorry, that Amrita Arora who has come in many B-grade movies. This is what I feel about her acting. It looked as if it was a debut film and she didn't know how to act at all.
Celina Jaitley was better than the other three girls. She was not that funny, but her acting wasn't that bad. THe fourth girl? Was there one? I don't remember. Oh, that girl whom Tusshar Kapoor has his eyes on? I thought she was an extra!
There are innumerable gay jokes. I don't know whether the director is gay, but if this film went to the U.S, this would be called 'Gay Bollywood movie'.
The Saawariya jokes were really good. I can't imagine what Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Ekta Kapoor must be feeling right now, especially the latter, whose one brother got involved in making fun of her.
I'm going to go with a 4 for this movie, as I had told before. Hoping for a better sequel.

Golmaal Returns is a comedy film directed by Rohit Shetty. The film stars Ajay Devgn, Arshad Warsi, Tusshar Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor, Shreyas Talpade, Amrita Arora, Anjana Sukhani, Celina Jaitly, Sharat Saxena and Murali Sharma.
A man, who lives with his wife, gets stuck in a yacht for a night after he saves an attractive young woman. His wife suspects him of having an affair and decides to uncover the truth.
A big disappointment after the humorous and equally funny Golmaal but if you watch the film without any expectations the film might and will entertain.
The plot of the film is good and the execution is decent. The film is a perfect example of slapstick comedy. The film has some hilarious comedy scenes which will surely tickle your funny bones although some of the jokes will not make you smile.
Screenplay of the film is decent and will keep you engaged throughout most of the part of the film. Side characters like Vrajesh Heerje, Sanjay Mishra, Mukesh Tiwari and Ashwini Kalsekar entertains whenever they are on screen. Climax of the film is funny and hilarious.
Acting is decent and addition of Shreyas Talpade makes a huge impact and makes the film more entertaining, female leads apart from kareena Kapoor didn't have much to do but they didn't disappoints. Arshad, Ajay Devgn and Kareena Kapoor entertains, Tushar Kapoor looks monotonous in some of the scenes and irritates.
Overall a decent mindless, senseless slapstick comedy and can be watched once on a hot lazy Sunday afternoon.

This Movie is By Far the Funniest Movie of 2008!
The Best Thing in the Film is Comedy! Well the First one was actually more funnier! but this time they ROCKED! Ajay Devgan, Tusshar Kapoor, Arshad Warsi and Shreyas Talpade! made Awesome Performances! Tusshar Was the Funniest! another Babe Bandwagon came in with Kareena Kapoor, Amrita Arora, Celina Jaitley and Anjana Sukhani!
The Main Characters were Ajay (Gopal), Tusshar (Lucky), Shreyas (Laxman), Kareena (Ekta), According to Story is Celina (Meera)
The Movie Starts with a Banging Dance Number! with all the Star cast! ends with a Solidly Funny Swing!
Its a Total Brainless (EXTREMELY HIGH BUDGET) Comedy Spoof Film! The Movie Rests on Cracky Spot! but still the Funny Segments were extremely Good! The Acting done by Actors are really Good! They have done a Supreme Job! specially Kareena as a Doubtful Wife Celina, Amrita, Anjana Didn't have any Special Roles! but Celina has done a wonderful job playing Marathi or is it Tamil wife! anyways! The Magic of Golmaal Returned Really It DID!
The Music ill say were a little unnecessary but its an Indian film the HEART and SOUL of it is Music whether they are good or bad! The Songs are good! there a Hit in Homes and Car Stereos! in the Film they don't match! Pritam, Ashish, Vishal Shekhar has done a Great Job!
The Direction is Done pretty Nicely! Rohit Shetty Has Done an Incredible Job! and the Cinematography is wonderful!
so the Final Decision i'm giving this Blastomania is 10/10
So as a MINOR critic i think i have a right to give OVERALL results!
Golmaal Returns:
Acting: 8/10 Music: 10/10 In the Movie 4/10 Direction: 9/10 Cinematographer: 10/10 SUPERB Story 8/10
So Finalised Result is 9/10
Excellent Movie! I Can't Wait for the 3rd One!

The Best Thing in the Film is Comedy! Well the First one was actually more funnier! but this time they ROCKED! Ajay Devgan, Tusshar Kapoor, Arshad Warsi and Shreyas Talpade! made Awesome Performances! Tusshar Was the Funniest! another Babe Bandwagon came in with Kareena Kapoor, Amrita Arora, Celina Jaitley and Anjana Sukhani!
The Main Characters were Ajay (Gopal), Tusshar (Lucky), Shreyas (Laxman), Kareena (Ekta), According to Story is Celina (Meera)
The Movie Starts with a Banging Dance Number! with all the Star cast! ends with a Solidly Funny Swing!

This is an excellent example of comedy movie for bollywood's pathetic, brainless comedy filmmakers.
Certainly Golmal Returns is very up-scale in bollywood comedy, a REAL comedy in recent days. It was really funny, and entertaining with a good repeat value. It took great effort from every aspect of film making, right from actors to screenplay, direction, carefully crafted dialogs with great timing, and sound effects. Ajay, Shreyas, Tushar, Karina did a wonderful job.
There are many so called "comedy movies" made in bollywood having big star line like Salman Khan, Akki, Govinda and recent new comers. They think we viewers are stupid and they can through any BS at us. Where the only good thing in the movie is their expensive star line and everything else is from gutter, no sense in the story/script, no direction, no dialogs, the "monkey comedy".
Anybody who wants to produce a comedy movie in bollywood should learn from Golmal Returns. 10 out of 10.
