Laloo Prasad Yadav Movie Review :

 Director
Mahesh Manjrekar was surely doped out while directing
and acting in this disastrous film. To begin with it
feels like an amateur school play. Actually even they
are better these days. The film is not just bad, it
is pathetic and an insult to one’s sensibilities.
But on the flip side one sits through the film despite
being thoroughly bored for only one reason- to see how
bad a bad film can be! The humour is cheap in most places
that it makes one laugh, not because it is funny but
it is a laugh at the director.
The main characters
are Masumeh (Padma), Suniel Shetty (Laloo), Mahesh Manjrekar
(Prasad), and Johny Lever (Yadav). This is how the film
obtained its title. Like one really cares! Laloo suffers
from some weird sort of Nymphomania, where he goes out
of control when he sees a good-looking girl. However,
he is in love only with Padma and plans to marry her
soon. Laloo’s lady love, Padma, is oblivious of
his philandering ways and regards him as a complete
fool when it comes to women. He also lies to her that
he is an actor when he is actually working for a small
time underworld guy, Tommy (Sharat Saxena).
Trouble between Laloo
and Tommy begins when the latter catches Laloo in bed
with his girlfriend, Polly (Kim Sharma). Both Padma
and Polly look like complete tarts right from their
clothes to their body language. So we don’t really
blame Laloo for his adventures. A furious Tommy goes
screaming to Padma about Laloo’s philandering
ways with enough proof. A shocked Padma breaks away
from Laloo and sets out to Cape Town to recover some
diamonds that were stolen from her father by his partner.
Laloo surprises her by landing there before her and
promises to help her.
They realize that the
diamonds have been kept in a bank by her father’s
partner but unfortunately he dies of a heart attack.
The only way of recovering the diamonds now is to rob
the bank. What follows is a crazy sequence of events
that have to be watched for their sheer stupidity. The
duo encounters Prasad, Yadav, and a local thug, Johnny
(Gulshan Grover) in their quest for the diamonds. Yadav
is Johny’s sidekick while Prasad is his defending
lawyer.
Now for the performances.
Masume and Suniel deliver. After watching the film,
one also concludes why Masume was cast despite being
a non-looker. Surely no heroine, except someone really
desperate, would agree to be pawed at by almost all
the men in the film. Padma has to play love games with
Prasad, Yadav, and Johny besides being Laloo’s
official girl. Kim Sharma hardly has anything to do
except for body display and pout all the time.
Sharat Saxena tries
very hard to be funny. The one who takes the cake for
his cheap antics that are actually meant to be funny
is Mahesh Manjrekar. One wonders if he is living his
fantasies on screen. He is crude in most places. Gulshan
Grover and Johny Lever are wasted. The music, and cinematography
is nothing to really rave about. The dialogue is funny
in few places but otherwise a film best avoided.
