Dhamaal is an amazing and very funny story of four ordinary university dropouts and unemployed men formed their own group of con artists, carrying out theft and other illegal activities to get money. It's truly crazy and a laughing riot. With Director Indra Kumar weaving in new characters, unexpected plots and twists and turns, making it truly come ducal and putting a smile on the faces of the audience although some parts including the plot of the film are based on Rat Race, It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World and Mr. Bean (the British TV Series and it's feature film in 1997). However, the ending of the film where the 6 men arrive at a Help Orphan Children Organization charity, the comedy is drained out but Director Kumar manages to refill the gaps with comedy when Kabir is interrogated by his boss again and the end song and dance as the credits roll. Watch this if you are feeling lonely, bored or down. As the name suggests, the film does do it's best to make you laugh. It did truly tickle my funny bone and drew a smile on me several times. Basically, this is what a comedy/drama film is meant to be! Arshad, Aashish, Ritesh and Javed truly shine as these four lovable and funny idiots with Sanjay Dutt and Asrani doing a spectacular performance, playing tough and strict but still funny men.
This is complete paisa vasool film.... U can heartily laugh for 2hr 15min... Don't see logic n all, just sit down n relax... It has a simple story line... 4 guys who are not at all serious in life, meets a dying gangster who tells them bout 10cr he has made in life... n tells them to use it as they like... but a inspector comes n enquires them bout it as he is investigating the root of that very money for 10 yrs ... then the conflict starts b/w them as to who as to get the money... everyone leaves to Goa where money is supposedly hidden... The climax is beautifully planned... n i'll not spoil it... Actin is wonderful... music by sandeep is good... wonderful direction by Indra kumar....
This Movie starts as a ordinary movie with forcible comedy but picks up pace once the treasure hunt begins. In the treasure journey ut has turned as one of the best comedy movies of Indian cinema if not the best. The Car lift scene which doesn't start,again the car lift scene where the driver announces his long name,Ritesh trying to get inside the Bus from a tree and Monkey watching him,Manoj pawa getting irritated on listening Mother,Mama and Father. All are fun.
Arshad warsi,Asrani,Ritesh.. too good Don't miss this movie if you have not watched it so far. Very very funny movie amazing good superb.

'Dhamaal' is a mad, zany, silly but truly hilarious comedy film, that hasn't lost its touch even after nearly a decade since its release. I have seen this cult-classic many times & the film only gets funnier each time I re-watch it.
'Dhamaal' Synopsis: Four good-for-nothing companions & a corrupt cop embark on a journey to find a hidden treasure in Goa.
Heavily inspired by the all-time hit It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, 'Dhamaal' offers genuine laughs & tickles your funny bone all through. The characters & their journey as one, is definitely silly, but the sequences are so hilarious, that you are on the floor laughing! The gags, one after the other, are so funnily written, that its impossible not to laugh.
Bunty Rathod's Screenplay borrows heavily from the above-mentioned film, but it works entirely. A special mention for the crackling dialogue. Indra Kumar's Direction is good. He deserves kudos for not letting the pace drop at any given time. Cinematography & Editing are fair. Music by Adnan Sami is excellent.
'Dhamaal' works because of its terrific casting. Arshad Warsi, Riteish Deshmukh, Aashish Chaudhary & Jaaved Jaffrey are a riot! Their on-screen chemistry as well as their comic timing, is masterful. Jaffrey, especially, is top-notch. Sanjay Dutt is his usual self. Asrani brings the house down. He's another topper! Vijay Raaz, Suhasini Mulay, Sanjay Mishra, Manoj Pahwa & The Late/Great Vinay Apte are superb in bit roles.
On the whole, Wanna laugh-out-loud? Watch 'Dhamaal'. Its pure fun!

- TriviaThe very first scene where we see Ritiesh Deshmukh as a bodyguard leaning to a man in car and saying, "Sir! Iss samay, hum duniya ke sabse safe jagah pe hai." (translation: Sir! At this moment, we're at the safest place in the world.) and then a bomb explosion is followed, thereby giving the scene a funny effect. This scene is actually taken from the movie 'Johnny English'
- GoofsAt 9:14 after the song, they are already wet even before throwing water at them. The fact that the shot was retaken is clearly visible here.
