Maxabout Review
Doesn’t make for consistent laughs. Vulgar and noisy
Friday, October 02, 2009
‘Fun lies behind closed doors’ reads the tagline of the film. One would rather close doors to such farcical fun. It’s time directors DO NOT take the viewer for granted. Take the cue from the title. Do not bother to disturb yourself for this deafening drama.
DO KNOT DISTURB rests on a thin plot and David relies on gags and jokes to keep you hooked for those 2 + hours. If non-stop mindless entertainment is on your mind, this recipe is just for you.
Writer
Yunus Sajawal takes a long route to reach the culmination.
The characterizations of Govinda and Sushmita Sen are directly derived from Kyunki Main Jhooth Nahi Bolta. The source material is obtained from Sushmita’s solo claim-to-fame Biwi No.1 with the basic plot of a married man falling in love with another girl. Just this time Sushmita is upgraded to playing a Gharwali while Lara Dutta is cast as the Baharwali.
The characters don’t speak but scream, don’t act but emphasize on antics and the director seems to take the term slapstick somewhat literally, sticking to a slap in every alternate scene. The endless slaps sound like earthquakes. Forget credible characterizations, even character names are as ridiculous as Diesel, Gobar, Nunnu or Bantu.
Songs are just a waste of time, unnecessarily included. Placement of songs again reminds you of most of the directors previous films. And just about every time Ms. Dutta appears, a singer on the soundtrack bursts out with “Enamoraaaata!” That at least made me laugh.
There are baseless tributary take-offs on Deewaar that do not amuse at all. As much boring and bland each gag is, the director has the audacity to repeat them for a second and third time.
It pains to see the comic genius of the trio of Govinda, Riteish Deshmukh and Ranvir Shorey to be criminally wasted in a shoddy script. Lara Dutta looks as much attractive as much horrible she is in acting. Sushmita Sen seems to be conned in an extended special appearance. Sohail Khan isn’t funny. His role is sketchy, hence it doesn't make an impact. Despite his histrionic hamming, Rajpal Yadav induces some residue laughs. Himani Shivpuri is alright. Rituparna Sengupta is hardly there.
