Steineded How sad is this?
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.
Herag Halli The woman in the sidecar going around the village is just hilarious. By the way she (Sudha Chandran) fits the part well with her svengali makeup, heavy jewelery and zabardast attitude, that is in total reverse of a typical village woman-and that in itself is funny. Then we have probably the greatest comedy characters of the Indian Cinema-Paresh Rawal and Om Puri-the Laurel and Hardy of Hindi comedy. Just looking at these two brings a chuckle. Priyadarshan, is one of the few producers who understand comedy unlike these "Banchods of Bollywood" producing filthy toilet humor movies like "Delhi Belly" and "Three Idiots" which is demeaning to Indians and comedy at the expense of the Indians. These scum maggots donot represent India nor Indians and they should be kicked out of the industry and sent back to where they came from. This is a movie that has a subtle meaning behind the comedy. Few scenes are redundant like the dead Anthony ending up on the tree. Some of the subplots are too drawn out. I guess this is to satisfy the average movie goer in a village who wants paisa vasool and and an eyecandy "Item number" which in this context is provided by Rakhi Sawant. It would have been nice that if she were to be one of the charecteres in the village, instead of just an item. The movie is enjoyable-for the masses who are starved for good comedy.
Sherazade Definitely one of the funniest movie I have seen in a long time. One thing leading to another in a village full of uneducated people.Paresh Rawal is undoubtedly one of Bollywood's finest and best actors when it comes to essaying such character driven roles as the greedy lottery ticket salesman he plays in Malamaal Weekly. It's almost hard to believe that it's the same guy who played the guru cultist in 'No Smoking' and then the suave lawyer , he is just too good. Om Puri, Paresh Rawal, Ritesh Deshmukh, Rajpal Yadav and Seema Biswas are all in their element as they round out the cast in supporting roles. I really liked this film and I recommend it to others.In the city of the blind, the one eyed man is king.
Shoopydoop Let's admit it, Bollywood can't really pull off a comedy - not since Andaaz Apna Apna have we seen a decent comedy make it to the silver screen. I'm sick of all these talentless newbies coming into the industry and appearing in "comedies" that are nothing but annoying screaming and complete idiocy.This movie though made me laugh right through. The chemistry between the main characters was fantastic and the acting was superb by the 3 main old dudes. Asrani was also FANTASTIC! The jokes, the reactions, etc were perfectly delivered. The story, although predictable, was a refreshing change and it never felt over cooked and the jokes stayed true to the story line.Good light hearted film!
iamparanoid At first i have to say that i have never laughed so much in my entire life in cinema...and i have watched and am a fan off all sorts off comedy from Tom and Jerry to Russell Peters Stand Up Comedy (Comedy Central) to the Ace Ventura (Carrey)....but i believe Indian Cinema has never had another Director as brilliant as Priyadarshan to make u go nuts......The Comedy in his movies never stops....one funny bone after another the story keeps hitting all the parts of our body that can laugh....And Secondly,Indian cinema has found its own pair of Comedy Geniuses...Paresh Rawal and Om Puri....the new Rawal-n-Puri duo has given such a commendable comic performance that i believe will give any comedian in World Cinema a run for his money....the pure Innocence of the Village-People of India is portrayed beyond perfection by the Duo...And Thirdly,I do wish (as an avid fan of Good authentic Indian Cinema that has no pastures and Trees with Chipmunks running around them with a back ground filled with "music" from the Wedding Planners in Heaven !!!!)that the Rawal-Puri duo get all the right awards and commendations for their respective roles....which i have a sinking feeling will go to charismatic "HEROES" off the so-called "Bollywood"......And,at last but not the least....Kudos to all the Cast of this rib-tickling comic havoc....Keep up the brilliance people...heres awaiting more...
