Golmaal Returns - review

Cast: Ajay Devgan, Kareena Kapoor, Tusshar Kapoor, Shreyas Talpade, Arshad Warsi, Celina Jaitley, Amrita Arora
Director: Rohit Shetty
Rating: *

There are some golden rules if you want to watch this movie:
1) Leave your brains behind at home
2) Dont even try to understand the story or logic because there is isnt one

The entire movie has senseless comedy thrown in at regular intervals. Lucky (Tushar Kapoor) is the scene stealer who evokes a few laughs. He is the brother-in-law of Gopal(Ajay Devgan) whose wife Ekta(Kareena Kapoor) is a big fan of TV seriels. She suspects her husband Ajay Devgan of being unfaitful to her as it appears on seriels.
Ajay Devgan saves Meera (Celina Jaitley) from rogues one night and takes her to the company yatch for the night because their cars dont start. Only in Hindi movies can you expect this scene, cant she take a cab or auto home? Ajay tells his wife he was at his friends and gives an imaginary address and name which turns out to be true. Meanwhile Ajay's team mate in office is killed and the cop Madhav (Arshad Warsi) who is seeing Ajay Devgan's sister Esha (Amrita Arora) suspects Ajay of murdering him. To clear his name and get an alibi Ajay should find the girl who spent the night with him without his wife Kareena knowing about it. Enter Shreyas Talpadi as Ajay's assistant who adds to the confusion. He tries to help Ajay find the girl Meera who happens to be his very own girl friend !!!

You will start pulling your hair with frustration at so many characters and sub-plots in the movie. Its also taking a dig at seriel director Ekta Kapoor and movies like "tashan".

Every hindi movie has a character speaking in tamil these days. This time it is Celina Jaitley and her south indian family. Wish they can get the diction right or have someone else dub the tamil dialogues.

If you follow the set of rules mentioned at the begining of this review, you can sit through this movie. You will do yourself a favour by keeping off the theater.
