RATING – Timepass
Starring: Govinda, Akshay Kumar, Paresh Rawal, Lara Dutta
Bole To: Govinda aala re!
STORY: Bunty (Akshay) and Babla (Govinda) are two actors in Paresh Rawal’s theatre group. After one such show, an organizer offers their group to perform 30 shows in England but as per the contract they need to leave for England on the same day. Unfortunately the heroine of the play opts out due to Bunty’s misbehavior. They eventually reach London and chaos ensues. Throw in some toilet jokes, Rajpal Yadav, unnecessary drama plus plenty of funny sequences – and we’ve a Priyadarshan movie.
REVIEW: Suspend your disbelief, chuck away that sense of logic and enjoy the show! Sure there are some scenes where you’ll be tired of looking at your watch and yawning too much. But then overall, this is a fun movie. Duh! Govinda excels, his comic timing is superb – it’s good to see him on-screen after a long time. And his chemistry with Akshay is the highlight of the movie. Jackie Shroff looks old, it’s ’bout time he quit. The climax scene set atop a fire-ladder is simply crazy. Oh and special mention goes out to Guru (Shakti Kapoor) and his gang of goons – typical scenes but hilarious nevertheless. Lara Dutta,and Arbaaz Khan obviously have nothing much to do.
BOTTOMLINE: Not-so-much fun on the run, but watch it for some good laughs!
