Movie Review - Golmaal Returns

Movie Star Cast: Ajay Devgan, Tusshar Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor, Amrita Arora, Celina Jaitley, Arshad Warsi and Shreyas Talpade
Director: Rohit Shetty

Two years ago, Rohit Shetty came up with a breezy entertainer Golmaal, which, most people agree, is the capable director’s finest work to date. The comic scenes hit the right notes and buttons. But Golmaal Returns treats the viewer like a nitwit, with zero brains. No-brainer laughathons have worked in the past and people have catapulted these films to ‘must watch again and again’ category.

Golmaal Returns is simply unbearable! Director Rohit Shetty is back with a film which he refuses to call a sequel. It needs to be made clear that the film is not actually a sequel of the hit comic caper Golmaal (2006) by the same team. It just has the same four main protagonists of the original in a different situation.

It’s more like what Lage Raho Munnabhai was to Munnabhai MBBS. Golmaal released in 2006 and did good business throughout the country, which lead to the decision of making Golmaal Returns. As Sharman Joshi made way for Shreyas Talpade (Sharman had blocked dates for Dilli 6, a role which he eventually lost). Rimii Sen, the only female character in Golmaal made way to 4 leading ladies - Kareena Kapoor, Amrita Arora, Celina Jaitley and Anjana Sukhani.

Golmaal Returns tells the story of Gopal (Devgan) who along with his wife Ekta (Kareena) stays together house along with sister Esha (Amrita) and a dumb brother in law Lucky (Tusshar). Ekta’s is a very suspecting wife whose suspicion habit is further influenced by watching Ekta Kapoor’s Balaji TV serials. One night, Gopal has to spend the night out with a beautiful young lady Mira Nair (Celina) on a yacht due to some unforeseen circumstances. But to avoid any misunderstanding with his wife, he lies to her that he was with his friend Anthony Gonsalves that night. One lie leads to another and Gopal to save his skin has to involve his junior, Laxman (Shreyas) but then a corpse of his office employee is found and the investigating officer happens to be Madhav (Arshad) whom Gopal hates. All this leads to a huge chaos where everyone is busy hiding something and ending up lying to one another to avoid further problems!

To be fair there are a few funny situations here and there but they appear funnier only because of the actors enacting them, especially Tusshar and Shreyas. Golmaal Returns is Tusshar Kapoor’s show. The actor delivers a knockout performance in what could be remembered as his most memorable character ever. Ajay Devgan performs well in a role that could have been taken to new heights by Akshay Kumar; always believe Akshay was perfect for Devgan role in Golmaal. Shreyas Talpade ensures the audience won’t miss Sharman Joshi. Kareena Kapoor in a role of a suspicious wife is good. Arshad Warsi surprisingly has a miniscule role. Celina Jaitley was super hot. And Amrita Arora’s role must have been credited as a guest appearance!

The biggest problem with Golmaal Returns is its insane script. The writer has scripted some of the most bizarre of sequences in the name of a mindless comedy, add to it the poor execution and we have a movie that just does not deserve a watch on the big screen. Yes, well directed mindless comedies are great to watch. Movies like Hera Pheri, Hungama or even Golmaal managed to entertain even though the mentioned movies completely lacked sense or logic. No wonder the film flopped badly at the box office.

Amongst the actors, the ones who impress the most are Shreyas Talpade and Tusshar Kapoor. Ajay and Kareena do well but don’t really make a good pair. Poor Arshad Warsi gets the least scope as compared to others despite being excellent in his comic timing. Amrita Arora continues with her dumb belle act. Celina for a change fully clothed manages to bring a few smiles. Murli Sharma, Rakhi Vijan, Ashwini Kalsekar, Vrajesh Hirjee and Mukesh Tiwari lend good support. The music by Pritam isn’t great either.

On a whole, Golmaal Returns is terribly let down by the script writers. The direction too is below average. Never expect more comedy and fun in Golmaal Returns than Golmaal major disappointment. A disappointing return of the hilarious Golmaal. No wonder if the movie fails at the box-office.
