Golmaal: Fun Unlimited

Plot synopsis:
The storyline was inspired from the 2001 Malayalam film Kakkakuyil. The story revolves around the lives of Gopal (Ajay Devgn), Lucky (Tusshar Kapoor), Madhav (Arshad Warsi) and Laxman (Sharman Joshi) (hence the name GoLMaL).
Laxman is an intelligent student who is diverted from doing well in college by his mischievous band of friends Gopal, Madhav, and Lucky. Lucky is a mute in the movie. The three friends use Laxman's hostel room for their mischievous activities. Laxman is peer pressured into running a series of scams to earn himself and his friends some money and is punished by being thrown out of college. The naughty foursome then finds refuge in the bungalow of a blind couple, Somnath (Paresh Rawal) and Mangala (Sushmita Mukherjee), who are waiting for their grandson, Sameer, to inherit his paternal grandparents' treasure chest hidden in the old couple's house. Gopal pretends to be Sameer returning from America, and enters the house, while the other three friends sneak in hidden, even though the real Sameer, along with his parents, were killed in a car crash after his father and mother angrily left with him for India to meet his grandparents; Sameer's father's parents, after learning that Somnath and Mangala were permanently blinded in a lethal accident. Somnath goes to America and lights the pyres of his son, daughter-in-law and grandson, the ashes of whom he later kept in an urn, as per the Hindu tradition.
A cat-and-mouse game unfolds as Laxman's body and Gopal's voice make up Sameer. Each time the blind Dadaji comes amidst them, hilarious situations arise. Enter Nirali (Rimi Sen), the saucy girl-next-door, and the group now have time, place and 'resources' to fall in love. Their individual efforts at winning the lady's heart fail. Apart from their amorous interests, there is a quest for the chest. There is also a gangster named Babli who wants to steal the chest from the couple's bungalow. All his attempts are unintentionally and unknowingly thwarted by the foursome.
By the end of the film, Somnath reveals about Sameer's death to Laxman, Gopal, Madhav and Lucky after the foursome find the chest hidden behind an old painting in the house, despite Laxman pleading not to open the chest. Mangala is shocked to hear the stories, breaks into tears and condemns her husband for lying to her all those years and not allowing her to cradle her grandson or light the pyres, and she also condemns the foursome for tricking her and hurting her feelings. Babli then arrives with his gang and later reveals that he hid the diamonds in the urn Somnath was carrying his grand returned to India and arrived at an airport. Panducharang, an assassin previously sent by Babli as an undercover servant later joins Gopal's team and fights the gangsters off, with the fight finally ending with Gopal being accidentally stabbed by Babli in his behind with a knife, falling unconscious soon after, but not before warning Madhav, Lucky and Laxman to not touch the knife, leaving the three friends in laughter. Babli also falls unconscious after seeing blood flowing from Gopal's behind.
After being admitted to a hospital, Gopal finally has the knife removed, and Babli is arrested for his crimes. Laxman, Gopal, Madhav and Lucky are then rewarded with ten percent of the original value of the diamonds for arresting Babli. Nirali then chooses Lucky as her husband-to-be, saying that she found true love and loyalty in him and him alone, leaving the remaining three disappointed.

Review:
After a string of pathetic comedy films in 2006 (Tom,Dick and Harry , Malamaal Weekly, ChupChupke, Pyare-Mohan, etc.), Golmaal comes as a pleasant surprise.
Howver, it is not the storyline that clinches it for the film - it is the amazing chemistry that the four male lead actors (Devgan, Kapoor, Warsi and Sharman Joshi) share that gives the film the requisite 'kick'.
The film naturally has its share of flaws - negligible part of heroine, wastage of a stalwart like Paresh Rawal, a damp ending, but all in all, the film is a humorous treat.Ajay Devgan discovers new acting horizons with this role, while Arshad Warsi and Sharman Joshi cement their identities as comedy-specialists.
Watch out for the the black-n-white track featuring Paresh Rawal and his on-screen wife that has a 1940's feel to it..
I seems to me that bollywood have found the pulse of audience, they want to laugh and this movie certainly delivered.......Story is very typical four usual young/handsome, doing some con and end up in funny situations all the way.......Since matrix it most of action now done with multiple cameras and strings (actually in hong Kong movies doing for years.....) a lot of use of green screen, editing was excellent, couple of times felt wires/strings shows when they lift Ajey........Paresh is as usual good/funny, highly recommended for family, couple of "beeps" dialog's were original, references from movie black gave a good touch.......
Arshad Warsi has once again delivered a 100% laughable act that simply keeps you watching.
Sharman Joshi adds to the brilliance of the film and makes himself a now perfect man for comedy.The storyline has both greatly witty and serious scenes.
What Golmaal actually offers is a story of 4 good for nothing pranksters who end up conning their way into the mansion of a blind couple.
It is a film that has its comical moments do the talking more than anything else.There are some classic comedy scenes in the movie.
Arshad and Sharman trying to get at Ajay is hilarious.The funniest scenes have to be the valentines day scene when the boys all gift something to Rimi and the Black parody.
Four ex-college students get kicked from their college(yes they are still in there college for 10 years) and while on the run from a gangster hides in a house of a blind couple.The story is good but its not perfect and has its loopholes.
But it provides the laugh and the fun factor a comedy promises.Performance wise, i thought the performance of the underdog Tusshar Kapoor was the best among the four.
Sharwan Johsi, Arsad Warsi and Ajay Devgan suited their role and are fantastic in this film.
Rimi Sen didn't have much to do expect look pretty and dance on numbers.The music is very good.
Love to watch this movie again and again its fully comedy
#AjayDevgan discovers new acting horizons with this role, while Arshad Warsi and Sharman Joshi cement their identities as comedy-specialists.
In the end you just hope that the director has showed a better casting acumen by casting someone other than the hapless Tusshar Kapoor (needs to revisit the acting school) , as the mute #prankster.Vishal-Shekhar's music is trendy ..
Really this first part I really loved apart from the rest three parts.The comedy was awesome funny and enjoyable.The direction was awesome from Rohit Shetty.He really directed this very well.The screenplay was nice.The editing was good.The locations and cinematography were good.The dialouges were hilarious funny and comedy.So what else do we expect from a g9od comedy movie.And bow comes to the acting.
Ajay Devgan acted really well.He played his role very well.Arshad warsi,Sharman Joshi and the rest of the actors also acted very good.So guys if U are a true comedy movie lover you will definitely like this one.Go for this..
You must be liking movies like houseful and tees mar khan if you didn't like Golmaal Golmaal is a complete fun, and if you observe each scene it's going to make you laugh more :D The Movie is worth watching a number of times Arshad Warsi, Sharman Joshi and Tushar Kapoor have played the characters perfectly I lol'd a lot watching the movie.
I enjoyed watching the movie and even laughed out loud in parts.
But you would have to pay me something in 6 figures and in £'s to make me see it again.Its just a lot of gags strung together, without a storyline to really bind them together...also, to my distaste, the film-makers (continuing a long-standing bollywood trend) opt to take the easy route to laughs by making fun of people with physical disabilities...(one of the 4 friends is dumb and the couple whose house they run to is blind).Most of the actors are wasted in the movie...barring Arshad Warsi (usual spontaneous self) and Sharman Joshi (i saw him for the first time and was really impressed)..
I rented Golmaal's DVD just because Ajay Devgan is my favorite actor.But after watching this movie,I was shocked by his choice of signing his movies.He has portrayed quite a number of substantial roles in the past and continues to do so,but I haven't really figured out his judgment in selecting his commitments till now.
Anyway,Golmaal is a good slapstick comedy,meant for time-pass only.Arshad Warsi,as usual,stands out in this movie too.The surprise package is Tushar Kapoor who delivers a praise-worthy performance too as a vocally-challenged person.Sharman Joshi leaves a lot to be asked for.His best performance still remains his portrayal of Sukhi in "Rang De Basanti".Ajay Devgan is flawless,but these kinds of roles don't really suit him.
We know that mindless comedies still do work in the subcontinent.This movie is a perfect example..
A movie starring comic actors like Paresh Rawal, Arshad Warsi, Sharman Joshi and Tushhar Kapoor for that sake (Kya Kool Hai Hum), I expected Golmaal to be good if not great but the movie falls flat.
Ajay Devgan is sad and Rimi Sen needs to try out something different than doing movies in which she's the only beauty in the entire world and guys get engaged in a cat-and-mouse game to impress her (Deewane Huey Pagal???), its irritating now.The music of Golmaal is decent but it cannot rescue a movie this bad.
Rohit Shetty tried so hard to make a scene look funny but that's all that this movie is, a wannabe.
Even the worst of the comedy genres do have scenes which'll make you laugh but Golmaal is just sad.
not at all happening a very bad comedy film and some very silly jokes are used and the songs are rubbish as ever so don't watch it bcoz u will not like it i just wasted my time watching it in the hall.
after the role of circuit in munnabhai i could not believe that arshad warsi could have been in this film.
i feel sorry for arshad warsi to be in this film.
so my advice to everybody not to watch this film and watch good comedies like malamaal weekly and hera pheri but just don't disappoint yourself by watching this film..
Making a sequel of golmaal-fun unlimited is like asking for a 'life long migrane' after having just recovered from a bout of severe headache!!!
This movie is a disgrace in that the film maker even dared to (ab)use the same title as its cult-classic namesake (old 'golmaal')because he clearly knew that by doing so, he would at least manage to get the audience to the theatres because of the respect and credibility associated with it for over 3 decades now!
Rohti Shetty after action films made a copy GOLMAALThe film is typical type of comedy we have seen before The start is quite funny and then when they reach Paresh's house it gets funnier and the film keeps you entertained at least for onceThe film is loose though and gets boring and the scenes get repetitive towards the 2nd half and the pr-climax flashback though riveting is too long and the climax is badThe film also has spoofs on NEAL N NIKKI which is goodThe comedy isn't too laugh riot type throughout and makes you laugh only in parts The comedy is trite too often too and the Manoj Joshi parts are too loud If you are a Goan you will see how they have manipulated the locations Like the college shown is actually Old GMC building and then they go for a ride on a bike and show us they reach a different location in the first initial scenes and reach the same place Rohit Shetty does an okay job Music is good Camera-work is fab, Goa looks fabulousAjay Devgan suits for such goon type roles and it comes easy to him but when he attempts to be funny in a slapstick manner he looks uncomfortable Even age is showing Arshad Warsi is good too Sharman is the life of the film, He is superb Watch him in the scene wherein Paresh catches him and Ajay cooks an alibi and Sharman's expressions makes you catch all attention on him without saying one dialog Sharman is natural to the core Tusshar is funny but his slapstick gets irritating at times Rimii Sen is as usual Paresh Rawal is good in his part Sushmita irritates Manoj Joshi gets to the nerves with his shouting The rest are okay.
It was about time the Hindi film industry produced a good comedy.
The rapport between the three jests of the movie is good with Ajay Devgan trying a comic role, Sharman Joshi(RDB guy...Sukhi) playing the innocent scapegoat to perfection and of course Arshad Warsi playing a role in his "home ground" .
Paresh Raawal was wasted in a serious role and not taking anything away from him since he played the role of the blind old man to perfection along with Susmita Mukherjee (u must have seen her in many TV comedies) playing his wife very well.
All in all if u you are not in total aversion to slapstick comedy you will have a great time and will laugh your stomach off through out the movie.
I'd say go watch the movie if you are bored and want something to cheer you up because you will be in splits for most of the movie but if you are looking for a comedy of the caliber of Namakhalaal and Hera Pheri, well you can pass.Rating: Acting: 6/10 Comedy: 8/10 Plot : 5/10 Climax: 0/10 Overall : 7/10.
in the movie he is one character who holds it and keep it alive others specially Tusshar Kapoor and Sharman Joshi are speechless in acting , but circuit arshad varsi is graceful in the movie and has capacity to keep audience happy specially with his tapori kind of role Ajay Devgan -action hero fits into comio role to some extent and keep the movie running the verdict of audience is that this movie is worth watching as good entertainer , please don't look for story bye.
What you can expect from this movie is perfectly visible in the the 1st 5 mins of the movie.Another movie that starts with a song, all the titles are in English (spends 2 mins abusing them for that).........sheesh i don't know how Good this movie is going to be............wait what is that is that 10-15 hot scantily clad women i see..........hmmmm i like....but wait Isn't this song totally copied from a bunch of hip-hop songs including The steps..........more hot girls in exotic locales Hmmmm................but wait why is Ajay Devgan dancing like a total Jackass and have coloured hair and look like he has a drinking Problem.....
Hey the songs over and Arshad Warsi is dressed hilariously As a college boy haha......Hmmmm................but wait why is Ajay Devgan dancing like a total fool and have coloured hair and look like he has a drinking Problem.....
Hey the songs over and Arshad Warsi is dressed hilariously As a college boy haha......Needless to say this movie is inspired, copied, plagiarized from at Least a dozen films by the bane of Indian comedy Mr. Neeraj Vora who is Absolutely unoriginal and ....................a complete genius.His stories are ripped of everything from Hindi movies (Govinda Especially the theme is directly copied from another Hindi movie can Some one mail me if they know), Hollywood, British industry etc etc, no One is safe as long as he is out there, but his genius lies in the fact That most of the times it guarantees entertainment for all and Especially for the less exposed moviegoer (which is most of India).The acting is very very good given the limited premise of the movie, Paresh Rawals talent is wasted in the movie but at least we get to see Him in a different role.
Like i have said every time is think Tusshar Kapoor and Sharman Joshi (of rang De Basanti fame) may not be ready for single hero films but Have great futures in multi-starers.The soundtrack is very boring, save for the spoof song which is Brilliant but was wasted in the second half because it was met with Mixed reviews when it started.(although halfway through the song Everyone loved it....i see a promising trend where the Indian audience Are rejecting that songs that don't move the plot in the second half).Direction and cinematography was half baked with way to much focus on Technology and using computer enhanced visuals most of them especially Those used in the song clearly gave away the amateur attempt but the Crew.Ajay devgan looked hideous and danced even worse his dance made the Boring songs even more unbearable, Rimmi Sen was sour eye-candy she Looked ordinary even bad post Dhoom she is yet to look good in any Movie i think its time she shed her clothes again or worked on her Looks hehe.The movie is rated UA but has clear references to r@#e and Madar....
However it has Been tempered with some really sad jokes that bring the tempo back to Normal.The movie moves in such a way that every time you are down and about to Be disgusted, they will give you another inspired but totally hilarious Scene to get you interested................and just when you begin to Love the movie another stupid scene or product commercial will start.
This movie is a perfect roller coaster which will leave you satisfied At the end.But there is a catch.You have to forget that you even had brains if you do that you will not Be guaranteed a masterpiece but great fun nevertheless.
Superman, corporate definitely this is you Best bet lets see how this movie copes with pirates of the Caribbean Though which is being released in a big way in Hindi.So given the current choice i would recommend you leave your brains at Home don't expect to much as go have a guaranteed good time.+s great jokes, acting, and Tusshar and Sharman, one great song +/-s song in the second half, Rimmi Sen -s Ajay Devgan (he looks 45+ and is supposed to be 34 max), inspired And unoriginal, absolute detachment required.Total 6/10 (on absolute terms this movie is a 4 but i laughed a lot and It would be unfair to give it a lower rating..
I thought this movie was pretty good but hilarious.
My brother was laughing like anything and too bad my dad missed this movie.
There is not a great deal of sophistication in the plot which features four guys who manage to get into the home of a blind couple by pretending to be their grandson.
It sounds incredibly unrealistic and it features a number of silly scenes.The actors don't have a lot to do but I guess they manage to play their roles well with Paresh Rawal being especially good as a blind guy.
However, the cheap laughs, gravity defying direction and a laughable plot makes this movie quite unbearable for someone looking for a sensible story.
Golmaal directed by Rohit Shetty is a boring fare.God Alone Knows how this became a super hit?I mean the movie is so painful,that I was cursing myself why I wasted my money on this crap.Promos were amazing and the movie turned out to be amazingly horrible.The story is childish.The screenplay is a yawn.The music is average.Talking about the comedy,the film has loads of comedy but unfortunately most of jokes are kitsch.Performances-Ajay Devgn is average.Tusshar Kapoor irritates.Paresh Rawal is a disappointment.Rimi Sen is bad.Sanjay Mishra,Manoj Joshi and Vrajesh Hirjee ham.Mukesh Tiwari!What can I say about your acting.The only thing that came in my mind when you appear was why is this fool hamming.
The movie was fabulous and a great entertainer which is full of excitement and comedy.
I liked the performance of Tusshar Kapoor, Ajay Devgan and above Paresh Rawal.
Arshad Warsi's performance was too good.And Rimi Sen looked sexy and hot.
And my favorite song is Golmaal.Sharman Joshi was quite good and hope to see him in more powerful roles than this..
Before writing anything else, let me tell you, this movie is a comedy all the way from start to end.
No need of that, because if you go with your brain you may start ask questions and that is not good.Plot 4 college friends (Ajay Devgan, Thushar Kapoor, Arshad Warsi & Sharman Joshi) take every chance to loot many to spend their lavish life in the hostel and to repay a big loan they have taken.
Circumstances land them to the house of a blind couple, played by Paresh Rawal & Sushmita Mukherji.
The story ends where all things are sorted out and Rimi express her love interest and the blind couple punishes the 4.
It is up to you to watch out for more.Plus Points Very good dialogues, competent acting, some excellent situations where comedy executed in it's beauty and laugh a minute comic scenes in rest of the body.Performance The Comedy King of Today, Paresh Rawal is restricted to an average role, without any chance for him to do the comedy, where rest of the comrades took the challenge.
