    A good comedy with nice action!!

    It is a good comedy movie. Of course the action scenes have been stolen from Hollywood movies, but seems good in the movie. At least it was an Indian movie with crisp action scenes. And Akshay really suits the action scenes pretty well. But the main power of the movie is its sense of comedy. All the actors have done a commendable job in comedy. Undoubtedly Paresh Rawal was best of the lot by playing a short memories person. There is not much in the plot but whatever it is, has been executed pretty well. However they could have done with some original ideas for action scenes as they were already spending a good amount on shooting those scenes. Even the climax of the movie was fine. If possible, they can come with a good sequel to the movie!!!

    A funny rehash

    APD starts off as a 'Been there, Seen that' yawn of a movie. In true Bollywood style, it rehashes Action from 'The Matrix' and a plot more than loosely based on 'The Whole Nine Yards'. Akshay Kumar, who is slowly establishing himself as an actor par excellence with every movie he signs makes one wonder why he is doing the same thing again, especially when you see how lame the action looks in the context. But then, about half an hour into the movie, something happens that has one rivetted to their seat for the next two hours. Paresh Rawal enters. The more said about him, the better it gets. the bellyaching laughs start and don't stop, even if you try your best. And what's more amazing is that his singular joke in the movie never gets old. Such is the explosive talent of this fine actor. There is a myriad of characters to keep you laughing, one kookier than the rest.

    Akshay is good as the Serious, no nonsense don who can't help but work with the army of misfits surrounding him. Suneil Shetty, in the smallest role of the film manages to come across as very funny as the man who forgets simple words. Johnny Lever as the stammering sidekick with a short fuse is hilarious, especially in his one 2 one's with Rawal. Aftab Shivdasani carries the part of a henpecked Husband with conviction.

    Supriya is great as Paresh Rawal's menacing wife. Out of the three leading women, Aarti Chabria has the best role, but pity she is not as good an actress as is needed to carry it off.

    And finally, Paresh Rawal... funny to the hilt, his innocent, miserable husband who cannot remember names is simply fantastic.

    All in all, a film definitely worth watching. Highlight of the film - EVERY SCENE WITH PARESH RAWAL IN IT.

    good movie

    this movie is good.I really liked the comedy akshay does a good job in 1 scene where he hugs the girl and tries to get emotional he sucks he was not good in that ,i think story could have been better action scenes were copied but still looks cool. Shahid did a okay jab and casting of rimi sen was completely wrong although i am not saying she's ugly but she's not that pretty that so many men can fall in love with her at the same time some other heroine should have been selected for this role but otherwise this is a LOL movie. You can watch this movie for timepass and if you are an akshay kumar fan like me then you will just love him in this movie. go watch it.

    Amazing Comedy

    This is one of the most hilarious comic produces of Bollywood.Most people are apt to label it run of the mill stuff that Bollywood churns out mindlessly(yes..accepted..this is mindless..but you have to watch johny lever and Paresh Rawal in this one)..

    The movie is a slight offshoot(a euphemism of course) of the whole nine yards.Aftab Shivdasani,Akshay Kumar and Sunil Shetty are their usual selves.Drab and forgetful.They are there for the usual stuff.Getting paid and strutting around irritating viewers.

    Now cut to Chota Chatri and Paresh Rawal.Awesome is the word.You have to watch the histrionics of Johny Lever especially.This is one of the very very rare Hindi movies where I actually laughed out aloud.Especially with Johny Levers comic antics.Please don't miss this one is all I can say.

    corny movie(except Paresh Rawal and Johnny Lever)

    This movie tries to set a mark on the Indian film industry by over-doing action scenes. But unfortunately it fails. The story straightly ripped off from The Whole Nine Yards and the action stolen from The Matrix. The only thing significant about this movie is the comedy done by Paresh Rawal and Johnny Lever...this was the only reason why I kept watching the movie. The movie is extremely stupid you should forward to scenes of Paresh Rawal and Johnny Lever. Maybe the movie is so horribly awful because the director lost interest in the film while shooting.
