Dhoondte Reh Jaaoge (2009)

Pretty Good

Fresh and Exciting

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

This movie had me in stitches, just like the film within this film, you'll find yourself laughing for all the wrong reasons and at all the wrong scenes that aren't even meant to be funny.Kunal Khemu (or as I like to call him...'Cutie-pie') plays an up and coming accountant who gets dragged into the world of movie-making when one day while out celebrating the birthday of his girlfriend (played by Soha Ali-Khan) he is conned by a movie-producer (played by Paresh Rawal). Exhausted from butting heads with Raj Chopra (Rawal's character) he devises a plan with the help of Chopra to pull a Ponzie scheme on a bunch of fellow movie producers to invest in an epic film project they plan to sabotage for their selfish purposes.Top notch performances by Paresh Rawal, Kunal Khemu, Sonu Sood & Soha Ali-Khan, although I could have done without seeing Soha Ali-Khan dressed up as Jodhaa from 'Jodhaa Akbar' (just one of the many films spoofed within the film).

Now I will not say that it is some best comedy movie coming out from Indian cinema, but certainly this movie came out as a surprise at least for me.I was watching this movie hoping that my next 2-3 hours are going to be wasted badly, but opposite to that this movie made me laugh.The script is well written and the movie has a natural flow.I will suggest anyone this movie who want to laugh... remember laughing is a great exercise.Keep laughing.I gave it 10/10 to improve its rating mainly, but truly it deserve a 6 or may be 7.

This is very under rated adaptation of the producers.An chartered account and a down and out producer figure out that they will take more money than required to make the film, and then make a cheap low budget film and run away with the rest of the money...they enroll the help of misfits to make a epic failure...for people who like films about film making (like luck by chance, om shanti om, etc) will enjoy this film...Khunal Khemu is good as the honest accountant, and Paresh Rawal as usual gives a solid performance as the shifty has been shubash ghai type producer, Soha ali khan plays khunals plain jane girl friend who is casted as the female lead in this disaster of a film. new comer sonu sood plays the SRK-Hrithik-Amitabh type of superstar, who is conned into doing the film

Film is a cocktail of Hollywood's Bowfinger and The Producers (What Bollywood film ain't??). It spoofs Lagaan, Gadar and Sholay while its own story follows Rangeela's path towards the end. To be honest there are some funny sequences and if you just drop your guard a bit then this film turns out to be very entertaining. Cast does OK but the biggest drawback is the number of songs particularly one where there is ample skin show for no reason. Soha Ali is the other weak link just like she was in Mumbai meri jan. Among others, Johnny Lever almost steals the show with his Pervez Musharaff (Ashraf) act. I say almost as the makers never really explored his character in detail. All in all, if you go with the flow you will be just fine.
