Review:  When Sajid Khan makes his Housefull tribute to Hrishikesh Mukherjee, Manmohan Desai, Prakash Jha and called flavors. It was not so good down with many people. With the director himself has Humshakals outside alone the great Indian. This time, devoting his comedy movies mad geniuses - Kishore Kumar, Jim Carrey and Peter Sellers. It does not take Sherlock to see more rolling eyes in disbelief.

Wait, that's not just great! This time, Prince Charles, could be confusing. Prince of Wales is poor reason to complain. Humshakals to try to make a complete fool - including a reaction from his first marriage!
Humshakals about two friends Ashok (SAIF) and Kumar (Riteish). Ashok has a huge commercial empire, but during their time trying his hand at stand-up comedy. Their is particularly bad and everything manages to get feedback is ridiculous people. And then known Shanaya (Tamannaah) Laughing makes your jokes. Immediately falls for her.

Reminds me Sajid is unique (apparently) and these days nobody laughs at your jokes do not. I wonder if a girl can make their way into your heart by claiming his love for his films. Now this story. Do Not? Ahem!

Back to the film, while the flowers of love, there is evil uncle (Ram Kapoor) who wants to take possession of the property and cousin conspires to make a dog. Yes, a researcher friend gets a drink that the DNA of a man could turn into the DNA of a dog for 24 hours. Alice in Wonderland anyone?

And while bad mother found a way to get Ashok Kumar and asylum, make a turn of events these three characters faced with lookalikes - all diverse in features. It is published in a good dose of romance, songs and colorful places.

To be honest, this is not an easy task to write a script with many lookalikes. To keep the story moving and keeping the content of the elevated mood requires much effort. Unfortunately, when the story is busy, the humor falls flat and when you want to laugh you realize that the characters actually behave more like they should effectively.

Well, I laughed during a scene in which Ashok Kumar and try to escape the asylum. Riteish is exceptional especially in the scene and director Sajid exhibitions could be traces.

The director also sees the door of his primary casting. While Riteish is an ace, as usual, Saif Ali Khan seems irrelevant. And given the fact that the film almost on his shoulders, which is a big problem. Ram Kapoor do well. The girls have little to do.

Physical comedy is hard. This is something that many people do not associate with. But there are a lot of films in the genre have been abandoned me rolling on the floor laughing. This film can not do that. Although top notch last effort Himmatwala Sajid Humshakals is not the film that help you save your destination.

I could best sum up a reference to a scene in the film. The aspiring actor Ashok is a joke to his father in a coma, but Kumar stop begging his father is in a coma. If a hearing that flight inadvertently in a coma in the first half hour of the film, and then just do not respond.

In short, Sajid Khan did not disappoint.



PS: Brownie points Sajid Khan mock his Himmatwala. Good to see her accept that this is a bad movie. Curiously, it also adds his Tees Maar Khan sister to the list.
