Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express You have to admire the film for one thing though: it sticks unswervingly to its promise of delivering loudness and crassness. Rated: 1.5/5 Apr 2, 2019 Full Review Rachel Saltz New York Times Unless your idea of a good joke is a golf ball thwacked into an unsuspecting crotch or the old frying-pan-in-the-kisser gag, you probably won't like this movie. Rated: 2/5 Jun 27, 2011 Full Review Kevin Thomas Los Angeles Times The film is amiably silly, gaudy and even pleasantly diverting for the non-Hindi-speaking viewer who realizes that the verbal gags that elicited laughter in the original language tend to elude translation via English subtitles. Rated: 3/5 Jun 27, 2011 Full Review Manish Gajjar Birmingham Mail Entertainment without a care in the world for anything that might resemble a conventional sense of logic. Rated: 2/5 Jul 3, 2011 Full Review Simon Foster sbs.com.au Determinedly colourful, ADD-edited and over-staged in every way, Double Dhamaal leaves one feeling grimy, thoroughly demoralised and viscerally exhausted. Jun 30, 2011 Full Review Maitland McDonagh Film Journal International It's pretty damn dumb, but if you're looking to convince someone that "subtitled foreign-language movie" does not equal "art film," Double Dhamaal is Exhibit A.

Audience Member its a fantastic fun filled movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Very Double Meaning But Also With Some Very Fun ï¿ 1/2~,ï¿ 1/2~Â?ï¿ 1/2~ï¿ 1/2'Â?ï¿ 1/2'Â?ï¿ 1/2'Â?ï¿ 1/2'Â? Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Ahmed M This movie shouldn't even be a sequel to Dhamaal, as it isn't anywhere as good as the first one. Sure the first one wasn't really good, but it had quite a good comedy scenes, an interesting story and good characters, this has none of that. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 06/06/16 Full Review Audience Member Like most film sequels, Double Dhamaal takes it's predecessor 2007 Bollywood comedy film Dhamaal's basic story frame/template and tries to expand on it and tries to make it bigger by adding new ideas for con-acts, new places like in Macau, China (overseas) and new supporting characters. Although it is fast and brightly colored (more colorful as seen on the release poster and comedic) to impress and entertain the Dhamaal fans, it is too frantically silly to entertain the whole family. It is low on freshly squeezed comedic energy and also reliant on slapstick humour. Several of the comedy acts and jokes and lines are recycled from the first film. The film should also elaborate on how exactly the four friends found the disguise costumes and how they switch in and out. (Did they buy them from a clothing story with the money they had or dd they ambush someone in an alley and strip them of their clothes, kill the person and put on their clothing or did they shoplift?) Overall, Double Dhamaal isn't Dhamaal 2. The plot seems to be thin at times and gets boring and tedious and confusing. It's Double Trouble. Arshad, Aashish, Ritesh and Javed truly shine as the four friends as well as Sanjay as Kabir. However, I felt that Kamini, Kiya and Mohisn Bhai's roles were unnecessary. The beginning of the film where it takes off right after Dhamaal ends as well as the Devil's Bar comedy scene is funny but that's not enough to save this movie. You're better off watching the 1st 2007 film. My review: 2.5/5 Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member A loud,silly and crass movie! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Not as good as the original Dhamaal, but it is well-made, and deserves a watch! Better not miss this one... or your wasting a lot of laughs! Recommended! (One Time Watch) Verdict = Semi Hit Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews
