Double Dhamaal

Double Dhammal ==============

Director :Indra Kumar Music :Anand Raj Anand Starring : Sanjay Dutt, Ritesh Deshmukh, Arshad Warsi, Javed Jaffery, Ashish Choudhary, Kangna Ranaut and Mallika Sherawat.

Movie Review : 2 Star : Double Dhaamal is NOT Double Dhamaal. ============

the 1st part was executed much better. There are some scenes that make you laugh . But most of the other comedy scenes are double meaning and are loud. There is no new treatment given to the movie.

Indra Kumar was top of the directory during 80's and 90's with his hits like Beta , Dil , Ishq . expectations were high but it didn't worked out in his favor.

Aanand Raj Aanand has given good music. Even he is one of the popular music directors from the 80' 90's like Tridev

Music Review : 3 star : Music is Good . There are some songs which will be diffidently played by DJ's . Good dance numbers. ============

My Fav Pick are :

1. Chak Kudiye by Mikka : Rap and a mixture of Bhangra. 2. Jalebi Bai : Item number by Mallika . everyone is going to compare Jalebi bai with other item number songs like Sheela and munni songs.

There are total of 4 songs

1. Chal Kudie : **** ( 4 star ) Anand Raj Anand & Mika Singh

2. Chal Kudie (Remix): ** ( 2 star ) Anand Raj Anand & Mika Singh

3.Chill Maro **** ( 4 star ) Mika Singh

4.Chill Maro (Remix) **( 2 star ) Mika Singh

5.Jalebi Bai **** ( 4 star ) Ritu Pathak

6.Oye Oye **( 2 star ) Sunidhi Chauhan

7.Oye Oye Remix * ( 1 star ) Sunidhi Chauhan

Other Movies directed by Indra Kumar : Beta , Ishq , Dil Music directed by Aanand Raj aanand in other movies : Tridev , Kaante, Major Saab , Musafir , Kaal , no problems etc

The original Dhamaal was a rip off from an assortment of Hollywood releases but still it was one of the best comedies i have seen.Double Dhamaal is simply another worthless & disappointing sequel like Bheja Fry 2.

In this installment the idiot foursome is back and try to take revenge against Kabir(Sanjay Dutt)as now he is a rich conman.The plot moves from India to Macau in the second half without any improvement.The jokes & gags get repetitive and the chemistry between the leads is missing which made Dhamaal such fun.Javed Jaffrey is funny in parts while Ashish Chaudhury is simply irritating to watch.The other two leads Arshad & Riteish had been doing these same stupid roles from the onset of their careers and sleepwalk through their roles.Sanjay Dutt looks lost while seeing Kangana & Mallika act we realize why there weren't any female leads in the original Dhamaal.It would have been much better had they only been used for the item numbers.

In short the cinematography,music,plot has got nothing new to offer & though there are some funny moments they are few & far in between so at more than two hours it gets bland & boring.Avoid this if you value your time & only if you are desperate to watch it rent a DVD.

The makers taking cue from "Munnabhai" and "Golmaal" could have taken forward "Dhamaal" as a franchise instead of an sequel for better creative and revenue proposition. The good news is the new "Dhamaal" has good moments in terms of fresh gags, comic timings and situational comedy. The four jokers namely Ritesh D, Arshad W, Javed F and Aashish C are usual reliable, dependable. Kangana tries her hand at comedy and does a fair job. Mallika joins the bandwagon and is not too bad either considering she does "Sheela meets Munni" in an attempt to create item song of 2011 with "Jalebi Bai". Sanjay Baba is as usual, in form.

Romantic track between Ritesh & Kangana lacks chemistry. Sanjay & Mallika's track is nonchalant. Aashish C makeover is detesting. Javed J brings in a few original one-liners. Zakir Hussain presence can be timed in seconds.

There is only song which stands out, rest are passable. In the second half, the flow loses steam and better writing was warranted.

Verdict: "Dhamaal" was certainly few notches above. The audience expected a sequel to surpass the previous outing and sadly "Double Dhamaal" fails miserably.

The movie had bland and clichéd jokes, the mimicry had nothing new, story was plain flat. Sanjay dutt and kangna gave some good performances, and had good expressions, rest of the cast, a total disappointment.

As soon as the movie started it was obvious that the story line is going to be absolutely ridiculous, and lo behold it was, One this is also obvious Mallika sherawat is only good with her cheap dances and not made for real acting, her acting is sheepish and totally unconvincing. We do understand that comedies need to be entertaining, but they need to give us at least a believable story which has a tiny bit of common sense. Disappointment

Double Dhamaal directed by Indra Kumar and a sequel to the sleeper hit Dhamaal does not offer anything double in terms of jokes.

Of course,Double Dhamaal does have its moments but those are very far and few.

Story:- After losing a huge sum to a police officer, Kabir Nayak (Sanjay Dutt); four slackers: Aditya Shrivastav (Arshad Warsi), Boman Contractor (Ashish Chaudhary), Manav Shrivastav (Javed Jaffrey) and Deshbandhu Roy (Ritesh Deshmukh) find themselves unemployed and broke. Then they come upon Kabir, who apparently lives a wealthy lifestyle now along with his wife, Kamini (Mallika Sherawat), and sister, Kiya (Kangan Ranut). They intrude in his life, find out he is having an affair with a woman named Gulabo, and blackmail him into making them partners. They also rope in a gangster-turned-saint, Bata Bhai (Satish Kaushik), into investing in an oil project - but are humiliated and go on the run after finding that Kabir has conned them. With an enraged Bata on their tail, the hapless foursome manage to escape to Macau with the help of a gangster, Mohsin Bhai (Zakir Hussain). It is here they will run into Kabir - who is now the owner of 'Four Jokers' Casino - and make elaborate plans to avenge their humiliation as well as ensure that he winds up alone and penniless.

The direction is average.

The music is good.

The dialogs are good.

The screenplay is half-baked.

The cinematography is good.

Performances:- Sanjay Dutt is very good.Out of the four men,Arshad Warsi steals the show.Ritesh Deshmukh,Ashish Chaudhary and Javed Jaffrey are fine.Mallika Sherawat is subtle.Kangana Ranaut is bad.Satish Kaushik is damn funny.Zakir Hussain is wasted.

Double Dhamaal,may have its moments but still those are few and far.I am giving it a four on ten for the only 'four' gags that made me laugh.
