Review :
More stars, less fun
Golmaal returns with the same characters, but Golmaal Returns does not continue from where Gomaal had left. Only the names of the characters remain the same.
Ajay Devgan is back as Gopal, Tusshar Kapoor is Lucky, Arshad Warsi plays Madhav. Only Laxman this time is played by Shreyas Talpade and not Sharman Joshi — but there’s really nothing that Shreyas can’t do. He is a belly laugh all the way!
The woman brigade this time is bigger than before, the star attraction being Kareena Kapoor. But why Kareena agreed to play this role maybe only Saif knows! She even agreed to Ajay Devgan sporting a tattoo of her screen-name, Ekta, on his arm. Very sporting.
There is an attempt to turn on the heat with Amrita Arora cast opposite Arshad, Celina Jaitley opposite Shreyas and Anjana Sukhani opposite Tusshar. But they only sizzle for the theme song that comes at the start and then out they fizzle.
Rohit Shetty keeps making cross-references to the previous film with dialogues and characters like that of Vasoolbhai (Mukesh Tiwari) and Vrajesh Hirjee, but in different contexts. Tusshar plays the mute guy once again, but his presence in any film now seems to guarantee jokes about Balaji, saas-bahu serials and his famous sister Ekta Kapoor, which can get on your nerves.
The women in the film, especially Kareena, is a diehard fan of the Balaji serials. The storyline has these serials as its starting point. Kareena watches all Balaji serials and her head is full of rubbish. She doubts her husband Ajay and that leads him to tell a few white lies. Things come to a pass when all her lies get entangled and a murder of a colleague makes things worse. Arshad is a police inspector who is chasing both Ajay and his sister Amrita, though for different reasons. Shreyas helps Ajay to get in and out of difficult situations while Tusshar plays his brother-in-law who is always ready to double the mess.
Arshad and Shreyas are the most fun to watch. Tusshar is good. Ajay Devgan is okay. Celina and Amrita get away in short dresses while Anjana goes missing through most of the film. Kareena is good at comedy, though you can forecast all her expressions exactly.
The story is too bland and predictable. Rohit tries to spice it up with one-liners but the digs at the Balaji serials and the barbs at big films like Om Shanti Om, Saawariya and Black far outnumber the funny scenes.
Golmaal Returns lacks originality. The innocence that was the USP of Golmaal is also missing. The sequel falls back on the much-used theme of sex and suspicion. The screenplay fails the director big time. There is not much one can take back home or come back to. The music of the film is just about okay. Only the Golmaal song stays with you.
Golmaal Returns ends with a pointer to yet another sequel. But do we need it?
