STORY
"Dhamaal" is a rib-tickling comedy that revolves around a gang of four goofy and useless youngsters, along with the quirky cop Kabir Nayak (Sanjay Dutt). The group consists of Roy (Riteish Deshmukh), who fancies himself as the best detective, Aditya Shrivastav (Arshad Warsi), a jack of all trades with half knowledge, Manav Shrivastav (Javed Jaffery), who tops the list of idiots, and Boman Contractor (Aashish Chowdhury), who lives in constant fear of his father (Asrani).
Their idea of work involves small-time cons, but they inadvertently get caught up in a life-threatening and amusing situation when they stumble upon the murder of a notorious criminal named Bose (Prem Chopra), whom Inspector Kabir Nayak was after. The dying criminal reveals the existence of a hidden treasure, setting off a wild chase full of hilarity. As the plot thickens, Kabir starts suspecting the bumbling gang, and the series of misfortunes they face are both dangerous and comical.
The movie starts with a bang, brilliantly executing the script and showcasing the impeccable comic timing of the actors. The first half is filled with extremely funny jokes, especially the introduction of the four characters, the car break-down scene, and the chemistry among the lead actors. It sets up a promising atmosphere for an even funnier second half. However, the film slightly falters in the latter part as the pace dips, and the jokes lose some of their charm. The introduction of additional characters also fails to add the desired spark.
REVIEW
Director Indra Kumar redeems himself after the disappointment of "Pyaare Mohan," delivering a comic caper without the need for a female character, love angle, or glamour. This refreshing change is commendable. Adnan Sami's music complements the film well.
In terms of performances, Sanjay Dutt plays a familiar role with ease, while Arshad Warsi continues to shine with his outstanding comic timing. Riteish Deshmukh impresses with a brilliant performance, even managing to outshine Arshad Warsi in some scenes. Javed Jaffery delivers a stellar performance as a mentally challenged yet funny character, reminiscent of Hrithik Roshan in "Koi Mil Gaya." Aashish Chaudhary leaves an impact with his role, and Asrani, Tiku Talsania, Vijay Raaz, and the rest of the cast perform well.
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, "Dhamaal" is a grass-root comedy that will tickle your funny bone. The film's strength lies in its talented ensemble cast and their impeccable chemistry. The first half is a laugh riot, though the second half falters slightly in maintaining the same level of humor. Nevertheless, it remains an entertaining comedy without resorting to the typical Bollywood clichés. If you're looking for a dose of light-hearted entertainment, "Dhamaal" is the perfect pick
