Movie Review : |
In
the past couple of years Akshay Kumar has discovered
his funny-bone. And boy, is he using it!
Right from Priyadarshan's
HERA PHERI to David Dhawan's MUJHSE SHAADI KAROGI, to
Priyadarshan's GARAM MASALA and now yet another full-throttle
comedy after barely two weeks…phew! Could it be
a case of comic over-kill?Blessedly Akshay carries off
the incessant comic slant with a touch of cool. Whether
it's dancing with sinewy damsels in a sweaty pub to
one of Anu Malik's recycled mix 'n' match tunes, or
belting out a babbling burlesque as he plots plans and
connives to keep Riimi Sen away from her college sweetheart
Shahid Kapoor… Akshay is wickedly funny and fully
in-sync with the carnival of comicality that director
Vikram Bhatt unleashes in a feast of furiously feisty,
sometimes tasty, sometimes extravagant gags and jokes.
The plot about a commodious
bunch of glorified buffoons wooing the music-video queen
borrows generously and obviously from the Farrelly Brothers'
THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY.This comedy's mainstay
is the extremely competent cast, each displaying an
unexpected flair for the funnies. Akshay tops the hefty
haul of hilarity, while Suniel Shetty, Paresh Rawal,
Suresh Menon (a laugh riot as the illegitimate heir
of gangster Om Puri) creates a satirical space in the
hierarchy of hilarity where Akshay dominates at the
top.
Shahid Kapoor remains
supremely detached from the simmer and swoosh emerging
out of the comic cauldron. He transforms into a livewire
on the dance floor.the problem, if one may call it that,
is with our Mumbaiyya Mary… …Cameron Diaz
in the original was a stunner, a style icon among Plain
Janes. Riimi Sen is at the most tolerably pleasant.
The thought of the entire cast of male members, from
the nerdy Shahid to the blind Asrani acquiring an alert
position at the very mention of this woman is more appalling
than appealing.
But that's the magic
of cinema for you. Suspension of disbelief and all that…
The myth of the mirth is well exercised in the length
and breadth of this film . Vikram Bhatt with eye-catching
assistance from cinematographer Pravin Bhatt, furnishes
the farce with a delectable dimension. The parodic romantic
story is set in Dubai where the sleek roads, laden malls
and luscious ladies contribute tellingly to the narrative's
over-ripe ready-to-be-plucked look.
The texture is titillating
and the mood provocative The lush locational advantage
compounded by zingy anything-goes lines (Neeraj Vora
& Abbas Hirapurwala) and an over-blown climax with
revved-up mo'bikes and somersaulting cars in the sand
dunes, create an atmosphere of designer-bravado.
At the end of it all,
you find saying So-okay instead of So-what. Skirting
the futility and repetitiveness of the last two big
comedy releases SHAADI NO 1 and GARAM MASALA, DEEWANE
HUYE PAAGAL bites as much as it chews.
The excesses occur in
following the Farrellys' farce too closely. The merciless
jokes about the physically disabled and the unmentionably
cruel things done to a pet poodle makes you want to
call the SPCA…the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to the Audience.
