Review : Double Dhamaal



We have to agree the first part was way better than this one. It was stupid of course, but it did have a lot of goofy humour. Now, the sequel is just stupid and carelessly dumb.

The whole film is an elongated con game where most of the chaos (or slapstick as they call it) is done by the loser foursome group of Riteish, Ashish, Arshad and Javed. Yet, when they pool in their mental deficiencies, they do manage to create some madcap moments on screen.
In the first half of this stupidocity, they try to gel with Sanjay in order to get a stake in his firm. And the fact the he has a sexy girlfriend like Mallika and a sister like Kangana motivates them even more. But when they come to terms that Sanjay has put them in a soup by selling gutter water in the middle of Mumbai as oil, they know it's time to turn the tables. Specially since they are being chased down by the local gangster Satish. Part two is all about revenge and one upmanship between the stupid foursome and Sanjay.

This one's definitely not for the finicky viewer but for those who don't mind losing their mind for some time, Double Dhamaal works like an average Bollywood comedy. Performance-wise, it's one huge circus with the guys getting most of the limelight. The bimbos -- Mallika and Kangana -- are mere confetti.
