And then it's a free for all.YouTube is one of the best places you can get a lot of free series and documentary. Not to be left out, Esha Gupta (in a special appearance) surfaces in the climax as a zookeeper whose premises are under threat from another character who turns up out of the blue armed with a fake property sale deed and a horrid Tamil accent - Chinnappa Swamy (Mahesh Manjrekar). More such unbridled silliness is delivered with abandon in Total Dhamaal. Riteish Deshmukh, in the guise of Lallan, ends every sentence with 'bey' to suggest that he is a Bhojpuri speaker. Total Dhamaal is pretty much like Lallan.
We aren't told what happens to the daft pilot, but his two passengers find themselves dangling from an under-construction highrise at the end of the ride. In a film in which everything is aimed at offending our cinematic sensibilities, one can only clutch at straws like Jackie Shroff's voice barking orders to Guddu from the "world's most advanced GPS system" in Chindi ( chaalu Hindi) or the Johnny Lever cameo that has him playing a Bengali pilot who flies a chopper that he creates from the engine of an auto-rickshaw and takes Lallan and his pal on a disastrous flight. They and their rivals have to reckon with all manner of hazards on the way - wrecked cars, malfunctioning copters, a precarious bridge across a precipitous canyon, gushing waters from a dam, a steep waterfall, and even an involuntary skydive. He is the guy who ends up dead a little later and his original calling holds the key to why the two suitcases filled with wads of notes have ended up in a zoo.Īdi and Manav (Arshad Warsi and Javed Jaffrey, both Dhamaal series constants) and the Bhojpuri-spouting Lallan (Riteish Deshmukh, another actor from the earlier two Dhamaal films), along with his fire-fighting mate (Pitobash Tripathy), hit the road in a race to get to the loot before the others can.
But before he can lay his hands on the cash, the getaway driver (Manoj Pahwa), a former animal trainer, flees with the money. With his accomplice (Sanjay Mishra), he swings into the 16th floor hotel room where the deal is being struck by the police chief and swoops away with the stash. Total Dhamaal Movie Review: Still from the film (courtesy Instagram) Total Dhamaal is Tom and Jerry stuff - mind you, we have nothing against Tom and Jerry stuff when it is the real thing - masquerading as live-action buffoonery. Producer-director Indra Kumar, not having learnt his lessons from the low-yielding second Dhamaal outing eight years ago, continues to believe that all you need to elicit laughs is to have characters getting into life-threatening trouble and coming out of it largely unscathed and then continuing to dish out more of the same. Once they are done with their asinine antics that might have passed off for passable jabs at situational humour if only the screenwriters knew what constitutes screen comedy, the characters wind up in a menagerie where the silent animals - computer-generated and otherwise - seem far more sorted out than the humans who invade the space in search of a missing booty. Total Dhamaal is total duh: a slapstick caper that lurches from one brainless gag to another as a bunch of grownups stop at nothing to outdo each other in making utter fools of themselves.
