Double Dhamaal Rating: 2.28/5
Ratings:1.5/5 Reviewer:Rajeev Masand Site:IBNLive
Double Dhamaal, unlike the 2007 film whose sequel it is, has absolutely no plot to speak of. The earlier Dhamaal, although generously copied from It’s A Mad Mad Mad Mad World, had several moments of inspired lunacy. This sequel is a lazy effort made on a bigger budget, but evidently with half the integrity and spirit.I’m going with one-and-a-half out of five for director Indra Kumar’s Double Dhamaal. Aside from a few laughs post-intermission, this film is a crashing bore.Visit Site for More

DOUBLE DHAMAAL works primarily because it's an ingeniously written film that moves briskly from one gag to another, leaving no moment in between to contemplate. On the whole, DOUBLE DHAMAAL is a seriously hilarious movie that lives up to its title -- it's double dhamaal all the way. If you are not looking for wisdom and rationale in a light-hearted entertainer, I am sure you will savor this carnival of claptrap. Sometimes, a good laugh is all you need to make your day. Try not to miss this one, it pledges hilarity in abundanceVisit Site for More

First things first, part one was better. It was stupid, but it did have lots of goofy humour and fun. The sequel is more stupid than funny, nevertheless there are enough moments to keep the clock ticking. The entire film operates as one extended con game where most of the chaos is kicked up by the loser foursome of Arshad, Jaaved, Riteish and Ashish. This one's definitely not for the fastidious, choosy viewer but for those who don't mind losing it for a bit, Double Dhamaal works like an average Bollywood comedy.Visit Site for More

Double Dhamaal suffers from a malaise commonly found in almost all sequels. It's an overdose. Our characters don't talk, they shriek at each other. Or they yell at the top of their voices. The cuss words are there in every sentence. Double-meaning dialogues, jokes with ill-concealed sexual innuendos, and from the first scene itself, our protagonists in a state of hype. Just when one feels all hope is lost, the film picks up pace. The story twists and turns and the last 20 minutes of the film managed to evoke a few laughs. Double Dhamaal is a huge disappointment. Especially for those who've seen the first part. And even for those who haven't. Watch it at your own risk.Visit Site for More

The first thing that hits you while watching DOUBLE DHAMAAL is that it's too loud. Each and every character is screaming and the gags are over the top. Apart from a few sequences that make you laugh, majority of it is a lot of codswallop. While DHAMAAL had a good plot, DOUBLE DHAMAAL falls way short in terms of the story, despite moving from Mumbai to Macau. The narrative does improve in the second half, but it's simply not enough.With a negligible funny quotient and a feeble script, DOUBLE DHAMAAL ends up being a 'double' disappointment.Visit Site for More

The filmmakers were possibly busy scoring a tax-free contract to shoot in Macau. Dialogue writers were giggling over their rhymes in every other line, pun on every second word. The editors were paid to keep their trap shut. Whining women (Kangna Ranaut, Mallika Sherawat) were picked up for pretty posters. Male actors then were naturally left to somehow figure their way through this mess.Visit Site for More

To be fair, Double Dhamaal has a few giggle-worthy moments, but you must earn these moments by lasting through endless torture tactics that Indra Kumar unleashes on you. These include mediocre gags, garish songs and Kangana Ranaut.Indra Kumar’s recipe for dhamaal is quite simple — sexual innuendo, potshots at popular films, bad mimicry, foreign locations, a generous dose of overacting, an item song and a gora villain.Visit Site for More

While the first half mostly revolves around Sanjay Dutt’s plan to take advantage of four guys, who want to make easy money, it comes with predictable humor. The story comes with twists in the later half, but nothing seems to be engaging with typical joke and loud scenes forming a major chunk of it. Few scenes which are a spoof on movies like 'Guzaarish' and 'Wanted' manage to tickle the funny bone. if you expect 'Dhamaal' in ‘Double Dhamaal’ then don’t forget to carry the double dose of pain-killers, that’s our honest take!Visit Site for More
