Golmaal Returns

I remember watching golmaal in a theatre at Hyderabad & having the time of my life laughing . I don’t remember enjoying so much in any other slapstick comedy ever . the chemistry between the 4 leading actors & a superb screenplay laced with humour  makes golmaal a classic slapstick comedy . a few years later , Golmaal has returned with a continuation . the only alarming difference on the outside is the absence of the sincere innocence of Sharman being replaced by Shreyas  Talapade’ s  chaloo brilliance . But is that the only difference ?

 Unfortunately not , the humour , the novelty factor are all missing in this one . infact  this one is not a movie at all but a con show by the makers directed at the audience to collect some easy money , knowing fully well that the popularity of the 1st part will bring the audience   . all the restraint humour is replaced by forced laughing & silly gags . the actors especially Arshad have lead to be doing buffonerey . the only gags which lead to some laughter are the ones on itself like the tattoo one or some om shanti om jokes or Shettys favourite scapegoat Sanjay Leela Bahnsali s movies Black or Sawariya  .

    It is utterly disappointing that the talented shetty has become so money minded that he decides  to give the audience the raw deal in order to give the producers the right deal . infact the so called story of the movie (whatever is present in the movie ) is a copy of ‘ aaj ki taaza khabar’ a kiran kumar movie which has inspired (ya bollywoods favorite word) many more movies & serials as well  earlier . the only good thing n the movie besides Shreyas is Tushaar s  mute act , but even that ends up irritating& also derogatory towards the physically handicapped which wasn’t the case in the 1st part as he uses this disability well enough as his own strength . of course    there is no Sharman to explain what he is saying . butbhis love story with Anjan sukhani should have been given more prominence as his is the most interesting  & amusing character .add to tht is the avergeness of others from ajay to kareena & total incompetence of Celina & others .songs comes at a wrong time .

   In all Golmaal returns  is made attempt at a sequel & a total disaapointment . hopefully the 3rd part is going to be better .
