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... Full review

This movie is worth watching- that is if you want the time to pass and if you're bored out of you're mind. It was quite humorous, but not very memorable. I think this movie would have been excellent if only... Full review

Perhaps Malamaal Weekly's 101st review would have trashed it like the rest of the hundred.
Overall, this movie could be worth a trip, if you haven't seen the original, that is.
And this includes the ever reliable Rajpal Yadav too.
You enjoy it.

I have always wondered how they get their comic timing so perfect and Malamaal Weekly gave me a chance to observe and learn from these great actors at close quarters.
The story, which is about a small problem-stricken village winning a lottery ticket, has Sudha Chandran too playing a vamp with a comic touch.
