Dolly Ki Doli Reviews+ Boxoffice REVIEWS ON PG1, DT notePg 40 - Page 17

A con fake cinema where a tall and beautiful Sonam Kapoor dumps the rich dullahs all over but not a single proper picture of the shaadi'.. Dolly Ki Doli comes with such wisdom.

Even after some mild amusements and complete commitment of the actors to pack a punch Dolly Ki Doli' is a mismatch. While conning the dulha and his family with milk on Suhag Raat' be it a ganne ke khet obsessed Haryanvi Raju (Rajkummar) or a typical Punjabi staying in saddi Delhi - Manjot (Varun) has some amusing moments creating a lol promise but the unconvincing back story to this Looteri Dulhan' glory spoils all the fun.

Ironically Dolly Ki Doli' due to this mismatch finds itself in a tricky situation it is forced to rely more on the holiday mood and generosity of the audience for favorable returns rather than the content.

The Story

Dolly (Sonam) is tall and beautiful con women. Part of a well organized gang that consist of a up to date papa ( Joshi), a brother (Mohammed Zeeshan Ayub) - the target hunter. A gharelu maa and a type cast dadi who utters only a single line Beti De Di Sab Kuch De Diya'.

Dolly and his gang of chors family cast their spell on the target dulha and his family. Gets married and on the wedding night drugs the family with dhoodh and flees with the loot.

But the loot on Manjot (Varun) turns suicidal. Meanwhile, Robin Singh (Pulkit) is tracking down this case and we get to know some personal connection between the cop and this con woman Dolly.

Umashankar Singh and Abhishek Dogra keep it simple during the first half but sadly during the second when the back story starts they suddenly get con' for ideas.

What to look out for

First half is simple and has some amusing moments. Sonam Kapoor is marvelous in the role. She is terrific. Dolly's Dulhas - Rajkumar, Varun and the cop Pulkhit do their part with complete honesty and try to pack a punch.

The supporting cast do a competent job Joshi, Mohammed, Archana Puran Singh al are good in their parts.

What not

Another example of a debutant filmmaker having a concept getting a start but screwing it in the end. The flaws are glaring. In this age of smart phones and slick wheels we have a Looteri Dulhan' dumping Dulhas all over and still no one bothers to click this tall hot and happening chick in his latest pixel camera.. it must be reminded that this looteri dulhan' even meets her target outside and still no click. Can anyone explain this..

Conclusion: 'Dolly Ki Doli' is a con gone wrong. Watch it at your own risk.

Rating **

Dolly Ki Doli Review & Rating - A lady makes men fool

Story:

Dolly Ki Doli revolves around Dolly played by Sonam Kapoor who fools men with her beauty. She makes the men to fall in love with her and she gets married to them and runs away with all the money the next morning.

Dolly fools the men with pre-plan and she works with a gang who never caught to anybody. She meets various boys like Sonu Sarawat (Rajkummar Rao) and Manoj Singh Chadda (Varun Sharma) whom she married and made them fool by robbing all the valuable things they had.

A police case has been filed on Dolly and inspector, Robin Singh (Pulkit Sharma) was appointed to deal her. Now the twist in the tale is Robin and Dolly was related in the past. What is Robin and Dolly's relation? Will Robin be able to catch Dolly and the gang? Forms the rest of the movie.

Artistes' Performance:

Sonam Kapoor looks beautiful and she has improved a lot acting wise. Rajkummar Rao and Varun Sharma entertained the audiences very well and the dance number by Rajkummar is outstanding. Pulkit Sharma looks handsome and his Haryanvi accent is excellent.

Plus Points:

The major plus point of Dolly Ki Doli is its duration, the movie runs about only 100 minutes. There is no chance of getting bored as the film starts and finishes within a small time space. The movie is quite interesting.

Minus Points:

The second half of the film is ridiculous and the story eventually loses its grip. The climax is silly and predictable. Characters Rajkkumar, Varun and Zeeshan are completely wasted in the film as there is no scope for acting. Saif's cameo is wasted completely.

Analysis:

Director Abhishek Dogra failed to entertain the audiences throughout the movie. Only the first half is interesting, the second half is confusing. The songs are fine, especially Malliaka's item number, and are placed well in the plot. Editing is just okay.

Verdict:

Dolly Ki Doli is decent watch film...

Dolly Ki Doli movie review: This Sonam Kapoor film is just a one-time watch!

Dolly Ki Doli movie review: Sonam Kapoor's latest entertainer is the new age women-centric film you can't afford to miss!

Sonam Kapoor plays a con-tastic looteri dulhan in this one. Read on to know what I thought of Arbaaz Khan's latest offering...

After the gigantic success of Dabangg and Dabangg 2, Arbaaz Khan had the Herculean task on his shoulders to give the audiences an entertainer that could beat his previous records. Did his latest movie deliver? Read on to find out...

What's it about

Sonam Kapoor is Dolly, the looteri dulhan who is out to get every rich and horny bachelor in town. She operates with a team of confidantes who pretend to be her family helping her carry out all the scam weddings and the loot thereafter! Pulkit Samrat plays Robin Singh, the cop who has been assigned the case of this looteri bride and he is on her trail, willing to go to any lengths to find her and put her in jail! Rajkummar Rao is Sonu Shehrawat and Varun Sharma plays Manjot, both of them are the innocuous, foolish yet adorable dulhas who get ripped by Dolly. After being cheated by their dulhan, the two with Robin's help try to pin down the con woman. But do they succeed? You'll have to watch the film to find that out!

What's hot

When Arbaaz Khan promised his fans a fun, entertaining comic ride, he worked hard to deliver. Casting Sonam as the con runaway bride was a good decision as she was true to the part she played. Rajkummar and Varun bring two very different characters to the table and their performances work brilliantly in tandem. Pulkit's character of the slick cop is designed on the lines of Salman Khan's character in the Dabangg franchise; a part he plays earnestly and makes his own! Special mention to Mohd. Zeeshan Ayyub and Archana Puran Singh as without their performances DKD wouldn't worked like a smooth running machine. The casting director of Dolly Ki Doli has done a spectacular job. I loved how the songs moved the story forward, not block it awkwardly. The writing by Umashankar Singh is fresh, witty and it never gets boring. Abhishek Dogra gives a decent directorial debut but there is scope for improvement. The best thing about DKD is the climax, it is unconventional, you do not see it coming. It unpredictability makes you feel satisfied after you walk out of the theatre. The crisp run-time of DKD works in its favour.

What's not

Although the film is a breezy entertainer that never leaves you bored, the story-telling could have been tighter. Like Saif Ali Khan's cameo in the film; it didn't fit in the script of the film and Saif was too corny for the part he played even though it was that of a Prince. I would have loved to see Salman in a cameo. Sonam acts her part well but in certain situations I wanted an actress of higher caliber to be Dolly. The moral of this story is a little problematic even though it makes for a nice twist but you will understand that only after you have seen the film.

What to do

If you want to begin the coming long weekend on a fun note, don't miss this film!http://www.bollywoodlife.com/news-gossip/dolly-ki-doli-movie-review-sonam-kapoors-latest-entertainer-is-the-new-age-women-centric-film-you-cant-afford-to-miss/

Dolly Ki Doli' Review: Sonam Kapoor sizzles in comedy drama

The Hindi movie "Dolly Ki Doli" starring Sonam Kapoor was released in India and across the world on Friday, Jan. 23, 2014.

Directed by Abhishek Dogra, the movie is a romantic comedy, where a girl named Dolly, played by Sonam Kapoor, will be looting young men after tempting them into marriage.

Apart from Sonam Kapoor, the film also stars Pulkit Samrat, Varun Sharma and Rajkummar Rao in pivotal parts.

In what seems like a total laugh riot, "Dolly Ki Doli" is being produced by Arbaaz Khan under his production company, Arbaaz Khan Productions.

The film has songs by Sajid- Wajid, while Malaika Arora Khan will be seen in special number.

In terms of box office, the movie is expected to do decent business, given that it has been made on a small budget.

According to a report in KoiMoi, the screen count of "Dolly Ki Doli" is approximately 1600-1700, which is good considering that the movie is aimed at the multiplexes.

Going by the pre-release buzz, which is rather good, the film should make a good weekend.

The 1st day collections of "Dolly Ki Doli" should be anywhere between Rs 6 to 9 crores. If the film manages to gross more than 25 crores on the weekend, the producers should be happy with the collections.

The movie will also have to compete with another big release of the week, "Baby", which stars Akshay Kumar in the lead role and is touted to be a high octane drama.

Keep an eye here for more updates on "Dolly Ki Doli" box office collections.
