Priyadarshan’s story is promising and has all of the elements of a stable, complicated entertainer that he’s well-known for. However Yunus Sajawal’s screenplay spoils the present. The narrative is in all places. There are too many characters and subplots and are usually not stitched collectively effectively. Additionally, logic takes a backseat. This often occurs in comedy movies however right here, it reaches unbelievable ranges. Manisha Korde and Anukalp Goswami’s dialogues attempt their greatest to contribute humour and drama however it’s not upto the specified degree.
Priyadarshan’s route is common. He’s laced with a poor script and that additional diminishes the affect. Prior to now, he has exceled with comedies the place there are far too many characters and misunderstandings. How he used to handle to easily execute the insanity regardless of challenges was his USP. The filmmaker tries to copy his formulation however doesn’t succeed. The essential plot is such that the movie may have been humorous from begin to end. However the humour may be very weak and in addition the humorous conditions are few and much between. He doesn’t even do justice to a few of the subplots. Even the reply to the thriller behind the sudden look of Vaani on the Kapoor household’s residence is foolish. On the constructive, a number of scenes right here and there do handle to lift laughs however clearly it’s not sufficient.
Rajpal Yadav: “Mujhe ANGREZI nahi aati, London mein sabse zyada COMFORTABLE primary hoon”| Hungama 2
HUNGAMA 2 begins on a uninteresting and critical observe. The observe of Gagan Chandra D’costa (Johny Lever) and that of the youngsters does elevate a number of laughs. However the children then disappear and re-emerge solely within the second half. This makes it clear that issues are going to occur at random within the movie. A number of scenes that stand out and are literally humorous are Nandan discussing the contents of the DNA report and Popat Jamal (Rajpal Yadav) claiming to be Vaani’s husband. Popat additionally single-handedly contributes to the humour within the climax. However as talked about earlier than, it was not sufficient. Ideally, the entire movie ought to have been hilarious, similar to the primary half.
Meezaan Jafri is strictly okay. The actor tries his greatest however in some scenes, his comedian timing shouldn’t be upto the mark. A job like this required a much more proficient actor. Pranitha Subhash places up a assured act and leaves a mark. Shilpa Shetty appears to be like ravishing and proves that she will nonetheless ship a advantageous efficiency. Sadly, her display screen time is proscribed. Paresh Rawal’s observe is humorous however the humour is weak. Efficiency-wise, he’s first-rate. Ashutosh Rana has a lengthier and even stronger position. He goes a bit overboard however manages to entertain. Tiku Talsania additionally will get his act proper, particularly within the DNA report scene. Manoj Joshi is alright. Rajpal Yadav has a small position however brings in large laughs. Johny Lever is nice within the cameo. Akshaye Khanna is nothing nice within the particular look. The kid actors do effectively however their observe shouldn’t be effectively utilized. The actors enjoying Meezaan’s sister and brother are common.
Anu Malik’s music is forgettable. ‘Chura Ke Dil Mera 2.0’ is one of the best of the lot due to Shilpa’s sensuous strikes. ‘Pehli Baar’, ‘Chinta Na Kar’, ‘Aao Chalein Hum’ and ‘Hungama Ho Gaya’ are disappointing. Ronnie Raphael’s background rating is best and is within the Priyadarshan zone.
Ekhambhram N Okay’s cinematography is breath-taking. The locales of Manali are effectively captured. Selvakumar’s manufacturing design may be very superior. The truth is, the movie appears to be like like a wealthy product. The costumes are glamorous, particularly those worn by Shilpa Shetty. M S Aiyyapan Nair’s enhancing may have been tighter.
On the entire, HUNGAMA 2 shouldn’t be as humorous as one expects it to be. The movie suffers as a result of lengthy size, insipid script, weak humour and lack of logic. A significant disappointment.
