Reading an Artcial of the Music or Movie review!!!

After several star-packed comedies like "Hungama", "Hulchul" and "Garam Masala", director Priyadarshan is ready with another one this Friday titled "Malamaal Weekly".

So far he has been remaking his Malayalam hits in Hindi. But this one boasts of an original script and realistic situations.

Shot in a real village, "Malamaal Weekly" tries to examine social problems with humour. The film is set in a small town plagued by poverty, bad harvests and a moneylender. The people in this village are barely able to make both ends meet.

In this village lives Lilaram (Paresh Rawal), the only educated man who earns his livelihood by selling Malamaal Weekly Lottery tickets. One day he learns from a TV report that one of the tickets he had sold has won the Rs.10-million bumper prize.

As most other villagers are illiterate and don't have access to TV Lilaram decides to track down the winner and his mind starts working overtime.

He throws a party for the 105 customers on the condition that they will bring their tickets as an invitation to the celebrations. As luck would have it, all of them turn up except Anthony, the winner.

Disappointed, Lilaram decides to pay him a visit. On reaching Anthony's house, he finds him lying dead in front of the TV set. What follows from thereon is a roller coaster ride of unusual events with surprising twists and turns.

Om Puri's antics in the role of a milkman called Balwant, who tries to keep his servant Kanhaiya (Riteish Deshmukh) away from his daughter Sukhmani (Reema Sen), adds more humour to this laugh-riot.

The film also stars Shakti Kapoor, Rakhi Sawant, Rajpal Yadav, Sudha Chandran and Asrani.

Priaydarshan has shot the film in a village and most of the characters are real too.

Everyone today has to make money to survive, to live, to thrive. And everyone who is trying to make money can be categorized in one of three categories: The first includes those people who earn money and also do good to Society at large. The second category is of those people who are earning money for themselves alone. The third category is of people who commit heinous acts to earn money and are harmful to Society.
36 China Town promises to be an entertaining film about all three kinds of people, with different motivations.

Raja and Priya are two important protagonists who want to help society by earning money. While another couple, Vicky and Soniya want to make money and don't want to do any service to Society.Madam Sushmita is the owner of a casino. She is corrupting society, but for her, it's only business. Madam has a 5-year-old son who disappears.

Madam Sushmita places ads in the papers offering a handsome reward for the child's recovery. Raj and Priya find the child, and these are the same characters that have been desperately looking for ways to make money, and also have the good of Society at heart.
So Raj and Priya, who are strangers to each other, become business partners just for the reward money. Because of the kid, they become friends too. The child gets attached to them. The child starts calling them papa and mama, addressing them as father and mother. They pretend to be a married couple. While on their way to return the child, Raj and Priya fall in love.

Raj and Priya take the child and reach Madam Sushmita palace at midnight and find a hand of a corpse. Petrified, they vanish from the premises, and even forget that they have left their suitcase behind. Along with, of course, their footprints. Because of their footprints and their suitcase, they are declared the killers of Madam Sushmita.

The case gets even more complicated and two lovers with good intentions find themselves on the run from the police and the dons. What follows is a romantic thriller through unexpected turns and twists leading to a spectacular climax!
