Watched this last night and enjoyed throughout the whole 180 min. Loved the humor (little nasty but thats OK) and the dialogs too were superb. Nice effort for a remake shows that David Dhawan is still David Dhawan. All the three lead actors well suited to their roles. The female lead was also nice. Mr. Rishi Kapoor was a pleasure to be seen. Not to forget Anupam Kher Ji for his contribution. Like every Bollywood flick this has love,friendship and the mas-ala. A must watch for comic lovers specially with friends. Loved that flashback thing. Got more than what I expected. Hope you all like and enjoy it!!! My rating would be 8 stars.
... View MoreWith Bollywood not showing little mercy since 2013 beginning, I took extra courage and hopped in to watch David Dhawan's latest. Well, I am not impressed, but neither am I complaining.Having read Karan Anshuman's review in Mumbai Mirror, I risked it. And whoa, the first half made me laugh. Well, isn't that a shocker nowadays? Siddharth acts buffoonish all over the film with his equivocal character. So is the character of Divyendu Sharma (PKPunchnama was appreciable), but his wit, sarcasm & shayris (short balladry) in short intervals puts him in the limelight. Together, they take a dig on many David Dhawan films, Amitabh Bachchan, Salman Khan & various other Bollywood related strong-points; they are both funny & clichéd. Ali Zafar is total let-down with his character emerging in the second half and still failing to take-off. Newcomer Tapsee Pannu follows every other newcomer and does quite well... what was told to her. But, she will need to put more dumm (power) into her chutzpah if she wishes to stay.Supporting cast is elegant with Rishi K, Lillete D & Anupam K doing great enough to keep the movie going. Songs are powerful but the dialogs are not so happening. Editing is average while the screenplay just pushes it. The plot is simple but the edification is illogical. What could've been done rather easily, Chashme Baddoor lengthens it, but with panache to some extent. The second half is a juxtaposition of many hackneyed thoughts and compared to the first half (more of adult comedy lies here), is too boring & predictable.BOTTOM LINE: You can risk it and have a couple of laughs to lounge this weekend because this year very few movies have come out which are worth watching, but I should remind you that this is tad adult and you may not want to take your family along. Overall, Dumm thoda kum hai boss! 5/10Can be watched with a typical Indian family? Make a thought!Language: Mediocre | Sex, Nudity: No | Mouth-Kiss: Very Mild | Violence: Mild | Gore: No | Smoking: Mediocre | Alcohol or Drugs: No
... View MoreReview : Chasme BaddoorMaking my way from one theater to another in search of tickets landed me up finally at at multiplex. With only a few people standing outside the box office, I was pretty assured to find a ticket for myself. I realized , the movie will only manage to earn from single screens, like every small budget movie does.The movie begins with Omi played by Divyendu Sharma reciting couple of witty but lascivious poetry at the college function which manages to grab some applause from the audience before and behind the screen. Siddharth aka Jai is a wannabe actor and the college audition scene is one of the funniest scenes of the movie. Sid played by Ali Zafar is a physics student who is a nerd and often finds himself mashed up between the sporadic jests and petty fights between the rest two friends. Their lives take a U-turn when the three of them try to woo a girl who comes to stay nearby.With excessive drollery and puns , the movie almost becomes predictable and hence by the end of the first part, things start to push you to boredom. The one liners are almost clichés and rip offs from text messages anagram-ed to give them a fresh feel. But fail at times. Divyendu Sharma certainly saves the movie. Siddharth's acting is disappointing , overshadowed by his drollery which will often remind you of Tushar Kapoor's characters in Comedy movies. The script and screenplay is subpar and at times edges senselessness.This movie does manage to tickle your funny bones but good for only a one time watch with friends. If not for the sake of a good story or sort, at least you can share a good laugh with your friends at the puns and lewd gestures that the characters make on screen. After all, 'har ek friend Kamina hota hai.' 2 / 5 P.S. If you have watched the Classic Chasme Baddoor of the 80's, you'll be disappointed watching this remake.
... View MoreTotal Paisa Wasool Full to Comedy Movie The movie revolves around three friends Sid, Jai and Omi (Ali Zafar, Siddharth and Divyendu Sharma respectively), who live together in a small house in Goa. Living life large is their motto, but the only thing that doesn't seem to work for Omi and Jai is that no woman is interested in them. Sid, on the other hand, lives a normal life. The two womanizing slackers, Omi and Jai make an attempt to woo the new girl in their neighborhood, Seema (Taapsee Pannu). Soon, a series of lies, secrets and comical situations follows. The Film is start to end goes constantly in same line and didn't get down. Ali Zafar again prove that he is not just fantastic singer but he is very light hearted and very good to fit in this role. Divyendu Sharma is Surprise Package in this movie with his Dynamic Poetry. Sidharth Narayana is one of the most Brilliant actor and done a very good comedy. Tapasee Pennu Have Dynamic Entry in Bollywood. Her Cuteness and Smile Make movie very beautiful and good. Rishi Kapoor perform as usual brilliantly. David Dhawan done Again fantastic Direction and prove again He is best in Comedy. Music is also very light hearted. The different type of Music is really Appreciable from Sajid-Wajid. Dhichkyaaon Doom Doom,Early Morning,Har Ek Friend Kamina Hota Hai are bang on. The movie USP of movie is it doesn't feel Boring for second also. Overall a good light hearted Comedy Movie after long time which don't have big names in Main star cast. So Go to theater and watch it and Enjoy. Rating:3.8/5
