The entire unit should be made to stand in line for not doing a reality check on David Dhawan that the basic premise of "Do Knot Disturb" resembles "Golmaal Returns". In order to ward off suspecting wife, the husband hires a guy who is supposed to pretend the other woman's lover thereby setting off a chain of hilarious events.
I am surprised how established names like Sushmita Sen, Lara Dutta, Ritesh Deshmukh, Ranvir Shorey have decided to be a part of the project. Even Rituparna Sengupta - oh no! Sohail Khan is getting type-casted into the slot of Manoj Pahwa & Rajpal Yadav. He better watch out (restraint is the keyword!).
David's pairing with Govinda has always resulted in comedy that can be termed, if I dare say "cheap". The formula did work in some part of history but surely not any more. And needless to say Govinda gets unleashed and goes Over-the-top to the point of irritation.
Strictly not advised even for hard-core Govinda fans!

in the 90's after AANKHEN Govinda and DD were a team to reckon with and every year since 1993 to 1999 there was at least 1 hit by the director- actor duo every year in 1994- RAJA BABU, 1995- COOLIE NO.1, 1996- SCS, 1997- HERO NO.1, DEEWANA MASTANA, 1998- BMCM, 1999- HASEENA MAAN JAYEGI
After that in 2000 they had KUNWARA which flopped, in 2001 they had 1 hit JODI NO.1 and then a flop KYO KII MAIN JHUTH NAHIN BOLTA in 2003 EK AUR EK GYARAH was an average and then the jodi came back with PARTNER(2007)
Coming to DO KNOT DISTURB it brought great expectations because it was the comeback of Govinda- DD and Vashu Bhagnani after BMCM The promos took off but i came to the conclusion directly that this is outdated Now after watching the film I came to know I was so right The story itself of having a girlfriend outside marriage is done to death, first David did it in SAAJAN CHALE SASURAL(1996) and then again in a flop GHARWALI BAHARWALI(1998) and then again in BIWI NO.1(1999) and even in KYO KII MAIN JHUTH NAHIN BOLTA(which had Sushmita in the same wife role) and in NO ENTRY(2005) by Anees Bazmee
In short, that is boring now even the dialogues like Lara saying tumhein bungla chahiye ya flat is done to death
There added a 4th triangle here with Ritiesh but sadly the film is too loud and too slapstick and the other character Sohail Khan irritates and the film turns into a JAANE BHI DO YAARON type but fails and by the time the end it's too much
Direction by DD is bad Music is ordinary
Amongst actors Ritiesh is become a big force as a comedian and he steals the show from Govinda which is a big thing Govinda is too loud and overboard and though he has his moments, it pales front of his earlier performances even PARTNER Sushmita and Lara are ordinary Sohail does what he does always, screams and makes faces And Ranveer Shorey i don't know what he found in this film?

A long time ago in a galaxy not so far away, Govinda and David Dhawan were a formidable actor-director team who you could count on to deliver a few good laughs. Much time has passed since, but the duo is still flogging the same formulas over and over again. Their latest collaboration, Do Knot Disturb is a flat-out rip-off of the French comedy, The Valet, but if you didn't know that you'd say it's a rejig of their own previous films, Saajan Chale Sasural and Kyonkii Main Jhooth Nahin Bolta, with a generous helping of the director's Biwi No 1 thrown in for good measure. Govinda stars as the cheating husband of a suspicious millionaire wife Sushmita Sen who hires private-eye Ranvir Shorey to follow her husband's every move when she chances upon a photograph of her spouse with sexy item-girl Lara Dutta. To hide his affair from his wife, Govinda tracks down Ritesh Deshmukh, a waiter who can also be spotted in the picture, and pays him to pretend that the siren is in fact, his girlfriend. The wife is not fooled; she plays the situation for what it's worth, making her husband jealous of his mistress' new living arrangement with the waiter. It all ends in an agonizingly harebrained climax at a five-star hotel where much chaos ensues when husband, wife, mistress, her ex-boyfriend, detective and waiter, all show up and run into each other. Its humour derived from such staple David Dhawan clichés as mistaken identities and misunderstandings, Do Knot Disturb is a repellant comedy with irrational plot-points and flaccid punch-lines. The jokes are stale; most of them involve slapstick gags like a corpse getting stuck in a laundry chute, and a possessive ex-boyfriend who goes around punching everyone in sight. Hanging off a wafer-thin premise that barely holds, this film is repetitive and boring, and doesn't even give its actors much scope to push their comic boundaries. The once dependable Govinda is reduced to a mere caricature of his earlier self, his performance now amounting to a variety of facial contortions, and silly dialogues yelled out at the top of his voice. Ritesh Deshmukh and Ranvir Shorey are wasted in thankless roles, and Lara Dutta spends most of the film batting her eyelashes and speaking in a squeaky voice.The film's one major eyesore is the usually elegant Sushmita Sen whose unflattering wardrobe does nothing to hide her sudden weight-gain. As the doubting wife determined to catch her philandering husband, Sushmita ought to have considered sitting on Govinda, and more than likely he'd have confessed his infidelity in the first ten minutes of this film itself, thus sparing us the torture of watching the rest of this drivel.Vulgar, loud and entirely pointless, Do Knot Disturb has virtually nothing to offer anyone with even half a brain. At best, Rajpal Yadav scores a few chuckles with his manic physical comedy. It's hard to believe this film was actually directed by someone. Was David Dhawan ever on the set at all? Perhaps Sushmita Sen ate him! That answers two important questions.
'Do Knot Disturb' is one of the worst movie I've seen recently. David Dhawan has a reputation of ripping off other films and his movies look overtly glossy, colourful and very tacky. 'Do Knot Disturb' is no different at all. I suppose Bollywood has run out of Hollywood movies to copy so now they have started copying French movies. 'Do Knot Disturb' rips off 'La Doublure'. 'La Doublure' itself was by no means a great movie but it looked classy and made me laugh at times. 'Do Knot Disturb' can only be compared to a cheap knockoffs that nobody wants to buy. It's cringeworthy from start to finish. However, since I heard that it starred Sushmita Sen and Rituparna Sengupta, I thought there might be something to look forward to. I wasn't aware of the rest of the cast. Sengupta is wasted in a miniscule role and Sen, what was she thinking when she signed on for this? Govinda and Ranvir Shorey are at their worst. I've never thought of Deshmukh as a great actor but here he achieves a new level of crappiness. Sohail Khan is among the worst actor ever and he's never even done a passable movie let alone good. I should have checked out the cast list beforehand, then I would have avoided this.
Do Knot Disturb directed by David Dhawan tries hard to make you laugh but it fails,big time! The movie is offensive,cheap and loud.
There a few scenes which manages to bring laugh but they are far and between.
The story is a big yawn The direction is disastrous.
The music is average.
The dialogs are bad.
Performances:- Govinda,Sushmita Sen and Lara Dutta stink.Ritesh Deshmukh,may be a little loud at times but is good.Rajpal Yadav and Manoj Pahwa are the scene stealer.Rajpal Yadav is loud but still manages to impress you with his performance and Manoj Pahwa is damn superb.Ranvir Shorey,Sohail Khan and Rituparna Sen are wasted.
Do knot Disturb is a huge failure
