Returning from a 15 hour trip to Mumbai, including 6 hours at InOrbit and HyperCity, we decided we had not had enough excitement for the day - which explains why we spent exactly 2.5 mins at home before rushing to Esquare for the 1045 show of Dhamaal. A friend came to our rescue and managed to get us the 5 magic tickets from the management quota - and all our rushing and running paid off as we made it to the theatre right in time for the opening item song.. (bear in mind, even at 1020, we were still on the expressway!)
The movie itself is a complete remake of "It's a Mad Mad Mad World", except the last scene from the English version - which had already been lifted by Bhaagam Bhaag.
Ritesh and Arshad are good, as usual. Javed Jaffrey is good too. Sanjay Dutt looks great. There are no women in the film. Lots of kids, though. The jokes feel recycled, the humour tends to be loud - overall, Dhamaal entertains as long as you keep your expectations at home.
