Kamaal Dhamaal Malamaal (Hindi)
Release Date:
September 28, 2012Bakri Johny!! That's the insinuating cry of every man, woman and child in this village when they see Johny (Shreyas). Afraid of everything and everyone, Johny is one terrified soul. Born into the household of David (Om Puri), a local farmer and being the only son, Johny does what he's best at to help his ailing father... Nothing! Other than buying lottery tickets every week. The only thing going in his life is his love for Maria (Madhhurima) the daughter of the village's biggest gunda and sworn enemy of David... Peter (Paresh Rawal).
Armed with two herculean son's, Peter goes to all ends to make sure his daughter and Johny never marry, until one day, hope comes in the form a silent, strong but very hungry man, Sam (Nana Patekar). What happens next is a complete dhamaal of fun, action and drama resulting in one very Kamaal Dhamaal Malamaal!
Word of mouth – na kamaal na dhamaal na malamaal. Fatigue inducing bore maal.
Rating - ** (Below Average)
Ticket Meter – worth 50 bucks
Kamaal Dhamaal Malamaal should show up in the thesaurus look up for incoherent and 'all over the place'. Such a shame to see likes of Paresh Rawal, Om Puri and Nana Patekar in such lame roles.
Remake of the popular Malayalam film ‘Marykkundoru Kunjaadu’, ‘Kamaal Dhamaal Malamaal’ follows the typical Priyadarshan brand of humour. A comedy of errors; involving a wimpy 25-year-old, an absconding thief and a stolen golden church cross, the film does not follow a distinct genre. In essence, it’s a mix of drama, humour and bucket loads of emotion!
