The Dhamaal team (Arshad, Ritesh, Javed and Ashish Chaudhary) is back, with a lot more crass, below the belt, slapstick humour. This time, they spend the first half of the movie trying to get into the good books of the super rich Kabir (Sanjay Dutt) and his wife (Mallika Sherawat) and sister (Kangana), and the second half trying to destroy him and steal his money.
There's a lot of focus on body parts, both in the jokes and through the camera, with Mallika and Kangana giving more than glimpses of their hidden talents, while the guys keep getting hit where it hurts. The sound track is jarring, the makeups and costumes sure to give you an epileptic fit if the flashing visuals don't.
Arshad is mostly good, Ritesh does his bit with the spoofs, but both Ashish and Javed are wasted. Mallika and Kangana play their parts (pun intended), Sanjay Dutt lumbers around like only he can.
But for all the negative stuff I have written, frankly, it wasn't such a bad start to the weekend. If nothing else, go watch the hiding in the overcoats scene, and to top it, the Murder scene with the gorillas.
