Review of Total Dhamaal: Even Anil Kapoor and Madhuri Dixit struggle to save this comedy

Total Dhamaal is the third edition of the franchise Dhamaal. After the second film was miserably bombarded, the filmmakers made every effort to create a star-studded sequel starring Ajay Devgn, Anil Kapoor and Madhuri Dixit-Nene, this time around.

Is this Total Dhamaal worth your time? 19659008] There are bad movies, and there are bad movies that are so good that you will still laugh watching them. And then there is Total Dhamaal. The constant background melody of "paisa" echoes the thoughts of the audience when he realizes that he was wasting money on this film, not to mention his time.

For starters, the plot of the film is as weak as the bridge we saw in the promos. . But hey, we did not expect a scenario that would require us to use our brains.

Such films are usually based on a powerful comedy. Except that Total Dhamaal is as devoid of comedy as the desert in which Arshad Warsi and Javed Jaffery are lost. Whatever it is, let's go hunting. Similar to the first Dhamaal (2007), a dying man reveals that a booty of 50 Rupees is hidden in a zoo in Janakpur.

Thus begins a crazy pursuit like Ajay Devgn-Sanjay Mishra, Javed Jaffery-Arshad Warsi, Anil Kapoor and Madhuri Dixit playing a couple on the verge of divorce, Boman Irani and Riteish Deshmukh start a crazy race for go to the zoo first. However, they have another set of problems waiting for them. How they overcame them and if they finally get the money that makes up the rest of this confusing and random movie. There is also a message about animals, but you have too much headache to enjoy it. You feel like facepalming like Total Dhamaal's monkey.

En route, in addition to the dangers of fire and water, our distribution meets all possible regional stereotypes of the book, involving a Bengali woman wearing the red and white mark. saree, because what else are known Bong? And there is also a Tamilian who spits gibberish dotted with Tamil words. Because what is the comedy without regional cliché?

The little respite in this adventure comedy is the couple between Anil Kapoor and Madhuri Dixit, who prove that they still have the same chemistry and the same flawless partnership almost two decades later. Their occasional exchanges Gujarati-Marathi could give you a tired smile here and there. While Ajay Devgn gives a correct performance with his poorly written character and his punches, it's surprisingly the fantastic Sanjay Mishra who is disappointing. The couple Arshad Warsi and Javed Jaffery had better times in the two previous episodes of the film and their comedy is rather forced and terribly painful at times. Riteish Deshmukh provokes a laugh or two as a firefighter to chew. Oh, and there's the randomly-placed Mungda song, with Sonakshi Sinha showing movements that are useless at all.

Overall, there is enough suraction in the movie to separate you from the head. Most dialogues are commendable and the effects of CGI are pitiful. But then, we come to the point where you almost want the movie to talk about zoo animals. The jokes are predictable WhatsApp and you can almost say them before the actors. When will Bollywood learn that comedy does not mean screaming and being a caricaturist?

If you like comedies like Grand Grand Masti and Double Dhamaal, you might enjoy this one. Others will find better things to do with your time this week.

Total Dhamaal, with Ajay Devgn, Anil Kapoor and Madhuri Dixit-Nene, is the third film in the Dhamaal franchise. However, the film fails with his comedy and his typing lines and leaves you with a headache, our critic says.
