Bollywood Movie Dhol Review

THE losers hit the limelight once again. After the recent hits like Heyy Babyy and Dhamaal , you have the all boys' band of drifters calling the shots yet another time. Only this time, they do it with a pizzazz that brings back memories of Priyadarshan's earlier roller-coaster ride, Hera Pheri .

Ek baar phir, the vela boys dream of becoming winners. And what better way than to hitch their fortunes to a rich miss. But confusion begins when there's only one hot babe (Tanushree) in the neighbourhood and all four of them want to be her Prince Charming. Also, the babe's on a mystery quest, looking for her big brother’s killers, with dadaji (Om Puri) and dadiji (a kushti expert) in tow.

The story’s irrelevant. The screenplay’s iridescent. The gags are absolutely hilarious and the performances are crackling.

Of course, Rajpal Yadav steals the show with his mindblowing buffoonery (surely, his best act) and like an opera master, has the other three following in perfect place in this bindaas quartet circus. In their bid to woo the glam girl-next-door, the foursome always end up fleeing for their lives, sometimes from angry biker gangs, horrified family-wallahs, a querulous landlady and even a mean Mumbai thug who goes by a name that echoes the all-time baddie Mogambo.

Surely, it's time to crown Priyadarshan as the King of Comedy, if he can give us such a rib-tickler with a bunch of chhota actors. Miss this laugh riot at your own risk.
