Dhamaal Hindi Movie

Sep 7, 2007 By Ashok Nayak

Indra Kumar is back after a poor Pyaar Mohan. He has succeeded in assembling some of the most talented comic actors in the country for his new venture. And what we get on screen is Dhamaal, pure madness.

4 good-for-nothing friends Adi (Arshad Warsi), Manav (Javed Jaffrey), Roy (Ritesh Deshmukh) and Boman (Aashish Chaudhary) are con-men. One fine day they come across a car accident. The victim of the accident Bose (Prem Chopra) reveals information of a treasure that he has hidden in Goa. Enter Kabir Khan (Sanjay Dutt), a police officer who was in hot pursuit of Bose for 10 long years. Kabir now wants to know more about the hidden treasure but the gang of four escapes. Does the treasure really exist? Who will get to it first.. forms the rest of the story.

Indra Kumar is back with a bang. This has to be undoubtedly one of his finest comedies since Ishq. No, it's not of the Masti types. Dhamaal is a 'clean' comic entertainer. The movie is filled with loads of extremely funny and rib-tickling jokes and situations. Also the perfect casting of every lead actor is a huge plus point. Their comic timing, dialogue delivery, body language and expressions are top notch. The writer (Paritossh Painter) of Dhamaal deserves a lot of the credit. The editing by Sanjay Sankla could have been better in the second half as the pace slackens. A song along with a few scenes edited out in the second half could ensure better impact. Talking of songs, the music by Adnan Sami is a major disappointment.

Javed Jaffery shells out yet another fantastic performance. He is the perfect choice for the character and performs with ease. For Ritesh Deshmukh it's a dish that he has savored a few times in the past. He makes full use of his comic capabilities and is in great form. Arshad Warsi delivers yet another remarkable performance. Aashish Chaudhary has gelled well with the group of talented actors and has come up with a commendable performance. As far as Sanjay Dutt is concerned, it's a turn-e-back character. He carries off his role with ease and style. The rest of the cast comprising of Sanjay Mishra, Manoj Pahwa, Prem Chopra, Suhasini Mulay, Tiku Talsania, Murli Sharma and Vijay Raaz are equally competent.

Overall, No complaints! Dhamaal is a Paisa Vasool entertainer for the masses and the classes. At the box office some Dhamaal is expected. Recommended.
