The film is a direct repercussion of stretching an already unfunny joke for far too long. On the other hand, the funniest part of the film is its interval.Įssentially, Golmaal Again is an origin story of Gopal, Lucky, Madhav, and the two Laxmans a story that we neither needed nor wanted, but one that is gifted to us anyway.
It is a truly horrific sight, no less than the one where Devgn attempts to make his body match steps to a re-engineered version of Ishq’s “Neend Churayi Meri” with Parineeti Chopra. The only time the film makes you feel absolute horror is when the almost 50-year-old Devgn goes to sleep every night only on Shreyas Talpade’s lap after his face is lovingly caressed, and a childish lori is sung to him. Golmaal Again is far from a horror comedy, and it is not any kind of funny. According to Devgn, “ Golmaal Again is a horror comedy which is not scaring you, but it is really funny.” As someone who endured the painfully terrible 151 minutes of Golmaal Again, I can attest to the fact that neither of the two statements have an iota of truth. But when it comes to children or Ajay, it’s safer to indulge the delusion.Īnd delusional he is.
This fictitious “closet audience” sounds a lot like the “imaginary friends” some kids insist they have. According to Devgn, these are the very people who have not just watched, but also enjoyed the films.
Days before the release of the fourth installment of the franchise, the man went around town giving interviews mocking the “intelligent crowd” who dismiss the Golmaal series as “brainless comedy” when it’s not. It is more that that, according to lead actor Ajay Devgn. But, Rohit Shetty came to our rescue and helpfully destroyed approximately 17,000 cars on screen in his latest offering Golmaal Again, giving us reason to cheer this lacklustre Diwali.īut Golmaal Again is not just about large-scale car destruction.
Thanks to the Supreme Court cracker ban, we may not have had the pleasure of watching bikes and cars go up in flames this year.
