| Fool N Final: Total Bakwaas indya.com rating: 1.5 out of 5 * Cast: Sunny Deol, Shahid Kapoor, Vivek Oberoi, Ayesha Takia, Sameera Reddy and Paresh Rawal Director: Ahmed Khan Synopsis: After robbing a priceless diamond, Rocky (Chunkey) leaves for Dubai from India to sell it off to his uncle's (Gulshan Grover) accomplice. One by one, we are then introduced to many characters staying in Dubai - a Punjabi hulk (Sunny), a smart thief (Shahid), who does robbery for his girlfriend's (Ayesha) uncle (Rawal), so that he approves of their marriage, a girl (Sameera) on the run from flesh traders, an international don (Arbaaz), a bumbling driver (Lever), a tarot reader assassin (Jackie), a ruthless don (Zakir Hussain) and a loser (Vivek), who owes money to this don. How all these characters get directly or indirectly involved with the stolen diamond is what the rest of this film all about. Acting: Shahid is decent and dances well but is totally relegated to the back seat in the scenes that feature him with Paresh Rawal and Johnny Lever. His bike sequence is enthralling. Rawal and Lever dominate the funny moments and are the only actors who really make an impact. Sunny continues with what filmmakers think he is best at – punching goons so hard that they fly away, shouting loudly when angry and dancing to a Punjabi number. A 'Special Thanks' accompanies Vivek's name in end titles for a thankless role of a glorified extra. Ayesha is better than she was in her last few films. Sameera is hardly there. You wish there was more of Chunkey. Jackie and Arbaaz are okay. Om Puri and Sharmila Tagore are wasted as Sunny's bhaiyya-bhabhi. indya.com rating: 2 out of 5 Direction: Ahmed Khan relies more on a stylized presentation than packing in the right elements to make you sit through two and a half hours. He presents the film in a comic strip format, which is innovative no doubt but with no good comedy to complement it and over the top gags mixed in, it grates on your nerves after a point. Ahmed wastes a lot of time introducing his characters and you keep looking at the watch hoping that finally the story will move ahead. But you remain seated till the end disappointed. indya.com rating: 1.5 out of 5 Script: Does it exist in the first place? A script that borrows its main plot from the Brad Pitt starrer, Guy Ritchie film, Snatch is so mindless that you wonder whether the makers were serious while attempting this comedy. The film only manages to make you laugh in two or three scenes, like Johnny's car sequence with Rawal or when Arbaaz and Jackie come to threaten Shahid and co. Nadiadwala seems to be obsessed with diamonds as they have been the focal point of all his last few films. The last scene of the film between Rawal and Lever is a ditto copy of his Nadiadwala's own film, Deewane Hue Paagal. Also Vivek's entry with a song is similar to that of Akshay's in Hera Pheri. indya.com rating: 1 out of 5 Music: Himesh Reshammiya's average music is elevated by enticing picturisations of the song numbers, especially, Tere Layee and the hip hop Yeh Dooriyaan. Vivek's only song Ek Kalsa irritates with its senseless lyrics. indya.com rating: 2 out of 5 |
