Nice storyline good screenplay good everything This was a hundred percent entertaining I really liked the film a lot it Sanjay dutt was amazing ritesh is awesome arshad was brilliant other were funny Songs are really impressive but it's really mesmerizing as well just being honest My own rating of the movie is 8/10 or 4/5 stars

Indra Kumar became known for comedies after MASTI followed by disaster PYARE MOHAN,DHAMAAL is a remake of IT's A MAD MAD MAD WORLD(1963) The main plot is borrowed from there and mixed with scenes from RAT RACE,MR.BEAN, JOHNNY English.etc In fact strangely the same year BOMBAY TO GOA remake had a similar script. The film is funny, though at times too outlandish In the original one character was a female, while here all are males The first half is funny, while second half goes in different directions, while Vijay Raaz comedy is funny, Sanju's track with the kids is not too funny, while Ritiesh's escapades with Sanjay Mishra's gang is okay, There is one funny monologue of A tamilian who gives Arshad-Javed a lift which is hilarious The pre-climax is good similar to the original but the sudden emotional end doesn't blend well.Direction is decent, at times Indra Kumar does try too hard Music is decentArshad Warsi looks disinterested though does well, Ritiesh Deshmukh is as always hilarious, from this film his mimicry skills got noticed, Ashish Chaudhary is too loud, Javed Jaffrey is superb,making you forget that you're watching him. Sanjay Dutt is decent in his part, Sanjay Mishra is good,Manoj Pahwa is hilarious,Asrani is loud as ever,Vijay Raaz is simply hilarious in his one scene, rest are okay

The film is good till the first half and then the director looses control over the film. He forgets that he is making a comedy and not a run around and keep on increasing character movie. The plot is different but gets down to the same thing like lots of other movies in the past. The director has not even taken care of the characters. There are a Parsi son and father who keep on speaking Gujrati. Wasn't this very obvious or was this pun intended?. There is an inspector who has been working for the last ten years and suddenly changes into a after-money guy. There is a dacoit who appears out of no-where and becomes a contender for the money. The director could have lost him after using him for the comedy factor. On the whole a movie you can watch once but might get bored in the second half.

To be honest,when I first saw the trailer of dhamaal,the product seemed to be quite dated but the movie took me by surprise.Although there's nothing new in the plot and even some of the scenes are blatant rip-offs,you don't mind watching them because of the way they have been directed and acted.If you've seen It's a mad mad mad mad world,you might feel that the premise of this film is more of less the same.Johny English,Mr. Bean(the series),Starsky & Hutch and Rat Race are the few films(or series,as the case may be) from which certain scenes of this movie have been lifted.The acting by all the cast members is up-to-the-mark.The fact that there are only a couple of songs in the movie helps.The runtime is just over 2 hours and thus the movie doesn't seem to be stretched too much.However,certain tracks in the second half could have been avoided.All in all,Dhamaal isn't a flawless product but it's certainly watchable which is all you expect from these kind of movies and so the one's who watched it wouldn't be left disappointed.
