Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

I really hoped this would tickle my funny bone, thanks to the critical and commercial success of the 1st film Dhamaal (2007) which truly deserved a sequel, however, this falls a bit short of even a decent sequel. Rather than double comedy it was barely more than half entertaining. Like most film sequels, Double Dhamaal ("Dhamaal 2") takes it's predecessor 2007 Bollywood comedy film Dhamaal's basic story frame/template and tries to expand on it and tries to make it bigger by adding new ideas for con-acts, new places like in Macau and Homg Kong, China (overseas) and new supporting characters. Although it is fast and brightly colored (more colorful as seen on the release poster and comedic) to impress and entertain the Dhamaal fans, it is too frantically silly to entertain the whole family. It is low on freshly squeezed comedic energy and also reliant on slapstick humour. Several of the comedy acts and jokes and lines are recycled from the first film. The film should also elaborate on how exactly the four friends found the disguise costumes and how they switch in and out. (Did they buy them from a clothing story with the money they had or dd they ambush someone in an alley and strip them of their clothes, kill the person and put on their clothing or did they shoplift?) Overall, Double Dhamaal isn't really Dhamaal 2. The plot seems to be thin at times and gets boring and tedious and confusing. It's Double Trouble. Arshad, Aashish, Ritesh and Javed are good as the four friends as well as Sanjay as Kabir. However, I felt that Kamini, Kiya and Mohisn Bhai's roles were unnecessary. But Bata Bhai rocks as a part time illegal don/gangster. The beginning of the film where it takes off right after Dhamaal ends as well as the Devil's Bar comedy scene is funny but that's not enough to save this movie. You're better off watching the 1st 2007 film. My review: 2.5/5. I just hope Total Dhamaal is way better.

Why? The first question popped in my mind, why they made this movie. No story, no real comedy, no fun, no creativity. They have wasted Arshad Warsi, who can really give a better performance (like Munnabhai). Ritesh D. also not impressive here. I really doubt whether director was there while the shooting is done.The movie starts with a song as 10 other movies of this type ... and never takes the grip. The film is pathetic and insensible storyline. It has bad humor which will not make you laugh. I will not recommend to watch this movie. Please watch some other movie twice instead of wasting time on this one.

Double Dhamaal is one of worst movies of 2011. I enjoyed the original but this movie is total torture.Story - There is total mess of a story. In fact there is no story at all. It is mixture of stupid gags, nonsense and plain nonsense. First half had some scenes that make you laugh but second half is extremely horrible with no logic at all.Performances - Sanjay Dutt disappoints. The 4 some are okay (well the imitating scenes are more irritating than funny). Mallika Sherawat and Kangana Ranaut are also bad. Kangana Ranaut is most irritating of all actors. Satish Kaushik is great in his small role and his scenes are best in movie. Rest all pass muster.Music - Music is not up to mark at all. Except Jalebi Bai there is nothing worth remembering.Double Dhamaal is rubbish movie and i gave it 2/10 only for some funny scenes in first half

Double Dhamaal is rubbish. The movie is disgusting and obscene at times and there are too few jokes that make you laugh out loud.It is no match to its predecessor. The first movie was brilliant with great acting by all four i.e. Arshad Warsi, Asish Choudhary, Ritesih Deshmukh and Javed Jaffery. It also had a fantastic performance by Asrani as Asish's father.Double Dhamaal tries very hard but falls flat. Their is also a line at the end of the movie where Roy says that they (the gang) will take revenge from Kabir(Sanjay Dutt) in the next part Total Dhamaal. I hope they don't make it.Also what was KanganaRanaut doing in the film?I really had great expectations from this movie but it is totally not worth wasting your money. Watch it on TV instead.
