AWARA PAAGAL DEEWANA was Vikram Bhatt's first multi starrer The film had Akshay, Suneil and Paresh together again after HERA PHERI The movie is based on THE WHOLE NINE YARDS(2000) and it's quite funnyIt starts off okay, Om Puri's monologue is funny but the fun actually starts when Paresh enters the frame and then the comedy starts which is damn funnyThe bickering of Surpiya, Amrita are funny too and also the scenes between Akshay, Aftab and Paresh and then between Suneil, Johny, Paresh, AftabThe interval point is a surprise part The first half is a bit too lengthy thoughThe second half has too many sub plots like the romance part plus the songs and also the overall length plus the confusion about the lookalikes which takes the impact away Yet it is watchable especially the entire bickering between the gang and the climax is stretched too much and the film seems never ending and the finale could be betterDirection by Vikram Bhatt is good for most parts Music is okayCinematography is great while Stunts by Philips Ko and Abbas Ali Moghul though inspired from MATRIX were different those days though many are too similar to THE MATRIX and seem tepid compared to themAkshay Kumar excels in his serious gang lord kinda role which he should do now as he is mostly doing nonsense comic roles Suneil Shetty comes across as a poor third here and is funny only in places Aftab seems too kiddish in his part and annoys Paresh steals the show, his mere presence instills life and is one of the best part of the film Surpiya is funny too Amrita Arora, Aarthi Chabria and Preeti are horrible, Preeti is wooden while Amrita Arora and Aarthi irritate with their overacting Johny is hilarious and not too loud Rahul Dev is as usual Asrani, Om Puri are forgotten by the time the film ends

This is one of the most hilarious comic produces of Bollywood.Most people are apt to label it run of the mill stuff that Bollywood churns out mindlessly(yes..accepted..this is mindless..but you have to watch johny lever and Paresh Rawal in this one)..The movie is a slight offshoot(a euphemism of course) of the whole nine yards.Aftab Shivdasani,Akshay Kumar and Sunil Shetty are their usual selves.Drab and forgetful.They are there for the usual stuff.Getting paid and strutting around irritating viewers.Now cut to Chota Chatri and Paresh Rawal.Awesome is the word.You have to watch the histrionics of Johny Lever especially.This is one of the very very rare Hindi movies where I actually laughed out aloud.Especially with Johny Levers comic antics.Please don't miss this one is all I can say.

The movie was great there were a few flaws such as the fight scene at the beginning of the movie it was so long, and there was no use for it they were trying to make it look like the scenes from the movie "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon," but it went totally wrong it looked really fake. The role of Paresh Rawal was my favorite, in every scene he was in was great I couldn't stop laughing because of his innocence in the movie. Overall I give it a 9/10 rating, the movie was one of the greatest since "Hera Pheri". If you haven't seen it I suggest you go watch it you won't be disappointed.

this rotten film has one of the funniest scenes i have ever seen in a hindi film. the silly hero (aftab) is telling some even sillier heroine about his love for her, and a gangster (johnny lever) thinks that aftab is coming out of the closet and declaring his love for him. makes the entire film, including the ludicrous special effects (NO, it is not cheesy enough to be good!) worth watching.
