Indra Kumar has kept the proceedings simple with more emphasis on chemistry and dialogues. He has even eliminated the concept of glamour as there is no femme surrounding these five protagonists.
While the first half sets the rhythm for a laugh riot, its the second half which tends to go overboard with its scenes innovatively ripped from old Hollywood comedies, quite close of Bean’s expressiveness.
Likewise, the script has its own share of loop holes. Scenes depicting Sanjay Dutt’s accident and the Asrani – Aashish incident go way beyond the limits of comedy.
Technically speaking, Indra Kumar’s direction follows a conventional approach which has already been seen in his earlier flicks. Likewise, they don’t act as a burden on your smiles. Screenplay is effective. Scripting is packed with comedy, with distractions mingling at places. Cinematography is praiseworthy.
Musically, the songs look good with the visuals, otherwise they can be piled up in your lost music collections.
Actingwise, Arshad Warsi is lost, Jaaved Jaffery is super duper hit, Riteish is in top form since Heyy Babyy, Aashish Chaudhury surprises and Sanju Baba’s character is enhanced by his dialogues, not by his acting. Asrani rocks.
Dhamaal has all the elements to keep your family in splits, but it lacks the full time entertainment punch which pulls you till the theatres. For people who don’t manage to find a rich plot in Dhamaal, I recommend them to concentrate on the scenes as they uplift the social barriers of infringing humour.
