Golmaal - Fun Unlimited (2006)

the audience applauded

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Blistering performances.

Golmaal is not meant to be taken seriously. Its sole purpose is to entertain the masses and I believe it manages to fulfil that expectation. There is not a great deal of sophistication in the plot which features four guys who manage to get into the home of a blind couple by pretending to be their grandson. It sounds incredibly unrealistic and it features a number of silly scenes.The actors don't have a lot to do but I guess they manage to play their roles well with Paresh Rawal being especially good as a blind guy. Song and Dance sequences burst out of nowhere and it is quite unnecessary as it distracts us from the main plot. However, the cheap laughs, gravity defying direction and a laughable plot makes this movie quite unbearable for someone looking for a sensible story. You must turn off your brain if you want to enjoy this movie.

It was about time the Hindi film industry produced a good comedy. There has been a drought in the comic genre of movies since the sensation caused by Munnabhai MBBS, Hera Pheri prior to that and Andaaz Apna Apna if you ponder further down. If you've followed the trend of the comic movies that have been produced in recent times, you would agree me when I say there has been a sudden deluge of movies which convey humor using a unbearable number of innuendos. This has led to the narrowing down of comic movie audiences across India where usage of expletives is not appreciated par innuendo or otherwise. At the very outset Golmal would give you the exact same feeling. The three protagonists dancing among a flock of bikini clad ladies and a start sans any direction for around 30 minutes will give you the same Akshay Kumar comedy feel. Id suggest, don't leave yet because out of no-where an interesting new plot pops up and I assure you its a laugh riot after this point. The rapport between the three jests of the movie is good with Ajay Devgan trying a comic role, Sharman Joshi(RDB guy...Sukhi) playing the innocent scapegoat to perfection and of course Arshad Warsi playing a role in his "home ground" . Rimi sen was a disappointment but I guess a movie in which a 'heroine' was absolutely unnecessary one cant except much. Paresh Raawal was wasted in a serious role and not taking anything away from him since he played the role of the blind old man to perfection along with Susmita Mukherjee (u must have seen her in many TV comedies) playing his wife very well. There are things that are similar to the previous comedies like the intermittent usage of innuendos but what impressed me the most the refreshing usage of a flashback sequence with a 1950's duet song feel where the hero woes the heroine. This was quite a delectation. Other than that there are a few other good jokes in the movie. As usual the finale and the global plot of the movie was below par and in fact outright rubbish. It was a like a good idea extremely badly executed. You also have the clichéd "running around in confusion" fight sequence in the end. The music is trendy with some foot tapping numbers and again the black and white 1950s track is what got me to give the movie a 7/10. All in all if u you are not in total aversion to slapstick comedy you will have a great time and will laugh your stomach off through out the movie. I'd say go watch the movie if you are bored and want something to cheer you up because you will be in splits for most of the movie but if you are looking for a comedy of the caliber of Namakhalaal and Hera Pheri, well you can pass.Rating: Acting: 6/10 Comedy: 8/10 Plot : 5/10 Climax: 0/10 Overall : 7/10

when i heard of this movie i thought the this movie is replica of earlier movie of amol palekar (character) -golmaal . however after seeing the movie i realized that treasures of old movies is not their in new movies and so in new golmal this movie is hilarious and keep you smiling all thru movie my favorite is Paresh Rawal. he is genius ,delivers what is nearly perfect. in the movie he is one character who holds it and keep it alive others specially Tusshar Kapoor and Sharman Joshi are speechless in acting , but circuit arshad varsi is graceful in the movie and has capacity to keep audience happy specially with his tapori kind of role Ajay Devgan -action hero fits into comio role to some extent and keep the movie running the verdict of audience is that this movie is worth watching as good entertainer , please don't look for story bye

What you can expect from this movie is perfectly visible in the the 1st 5 mins of the movie.Another movie that starts with a song, all the titles are in English (spends 2 mins abusing them for that).........sheesh i don't know how Good this movie is going to be............wait what is that is that 10-15 hot scantily clad women i see..........hmmmm i like....but wait Isn't this song totally copied from a bunch of hip-hop songs including The steps..........more hot girls in exotic locales Hmmmm................but wait why is Ajay Devgan dancing like a total Jackass and have coloured hair and look like he has a drinking Problem..... Hey the songs over and Arshad Warsi is dressed hilariously As a college boy haha......Hmmmm................but wait why is Ajay Devgan dancing like a total fool and have coloured hair and look like he has a drinking Problem..... Hey the songs over and Arshad Warsi is dressed hilariously As a college boy haha......Needless to say this movie is inspired, copied, plagiarized from at Least a dozen films by the bane of Indian comedy Mr. Neeraj Vora who is Absolutely unoriginal and ....................a complete genius.His stories are ripped of everything from Hindi movies (Govinda Especially the theme is directly copied from another Hindi movie can Some one mail me if they know), Hollywood, British industry etc etc, no One is safe as long as he is out there, but his genius lies in the fact That most of the times it guarantees entertainment for all and Especially for the less exposed moviegoer (which is most of India).The acting is very very good given the limited premise of the movie, Paresh Rawals talent is wasted in the movie but at least we get to see Him in a different role. He displays his brilliance in the spoof song. Like i have said every time is think Tusshar Kapoor and Sharman Joshi (of rang De Basanti fame) may not be ready for single hero films but Have great futures in multi-starers.The soundtrack is very boring, save for the spoof song which is Brilliant but was wasted in the second half because it was met with Mixed reviews when it started.(although halfway through the song Everyone loved it....i see a promising trend where the Indian audience Are rejecting that songs that don't move the plot in the second half).Direction and cinematography was half baked with way to much focus on Technology and using computer enhanced visuals most of them especially Those used in the song clearly gave away the amateur attempt but the Crew.Ajay devgan looked hideous and danced even worse his dance made the Boring songs even more unbearable, Rimmi Sen was sour eye-candy she Looked ordinary even bad post Dhoom she is yet to look good in any Movie i think its time she shed her clothes again or worked on her Looks hehe.The movie is rated UA but has clear references to r@#e and Madar.... Etc and may not be suitable for all audiences. Most of the jokes were stupid, caricaturish, inspired, slapstick and Totally hilarious, some of the stupidest scenes were the most hilarious Such as the spoof on black, Munna Bhai, the poisoning (again don't look For logic), the 4 seater bike, the invitation scene etc. However it has Been tempered with some really sad jokes that bring the tempo back to Normal.The movie moves in such a way that every time you are down and about to Be disgusted, they will give you another inspired but totally hilarious Scene to get you interested................and just when you begin to Love the movie another stupid scene or product commercial will start. This movie is a perfect roller coaster which will leave you satisfied At the end.But there is a catch.You have to forget that you even had brains if you do that you will not Be guaranteed a masterpiece but great fun nevertheless. Given the Current choice of films. Superman, corporate definitely this is you Best bet lets see how this movie copes with pirates of the Caribbean Though which is being released in a big way in Hindi.So given the current choice i would recommend you leave your brains at Home don't expect to much as go have a guaranteed good time.+s great jokes, acting, and Tusshar and Sharman, one great song +/-s song in the second half, Rimmi Sen -s Ajay Devgan (he looks 45+ and is supposed to be 34 max), inspired And unoriginal, absolute detachment required.Total 6/10 (on absolute terms this movie is a 4 but i laughed a lot and It would be unfair to give it a lower rating.
