Directed by Umesh Shukla
A UTV Movies Release
DHOONDTE REH JAAOGE is supposedly this laugh-a-thon directed by newcomer Umesh Shukla. The film might still have some bite considering it is coming from UTV Movies, who have helped many small budget flicks reach out to a wider audience. They seem to be trying to do the same with this one as well.
This comedy shall see Kunal Khemu team up with Sonu Sood and Soha Ali Khan. Yes, though the trio might not sound the perfect candidates for a comic outing, probably names like Paresh Rawal and Johnny Lever might help? Still no? Hmm...
The concept is simple, brilliant, failsafe, unique and guaranteed to work,’ says Anand Pawar (Kunal Kemmu) an honest Charted Accountant but loser in life, to Raj Chopra (Paresh Rawal), a veteran film Producer with no money. All they need to do is raise 100 Crore from various financers and produce the film in 5 Crore. They would then make a film that will never work, a film that will be hooted out on the first day itself and run away with 95 Crore.They want to become instant millionaires in the shortest time possible.An infallible plan.
To make a FLOPBUSTER they rope in Super star Aryan Kapoor ( Sonu Sood) as a the lead in the film, they also rope in Parvez Asharraf (Johny Lever) as a writer, who is Pro Pakistan and many other weird and wacky actors, director, music directors for the film. Anand Pawar becomes so greedy that he decides to cheat on his own girl friend Neha Chattopadhayay ( Soha Ali Khan) who is a small time theatre actress. Anand cast her as a main heroine in the film so her acting ka keeda will be over in one film.This not only becomes one of the most masterful of escapade (fun with a lot of escapes) but also instigates a laugh –a – thon.
The film is yet another one that highlights the film industry, but in a more comical way that say, a LUCK BY CHANCE or an OM SHANTI OM. The film certainly seem to be inspired by the comedy BOWFINGER, where the producer is trying to complete the film with look alikes once the real actor walks out.
Sonu Sood really seem to be the one having a lot of fun in this one, trying out get ups of most of the celluloid heroes, right from Veeru of SHOLAY to Raj of DDLJ. He also plays the dual roles of the superstar as well as his look alike. Meanwhile Kunal and Soha gets to brush up their comic skills behind big nerdy glasses.
I hear the script is real good...so good that they could easily turn the climax around to cash in on the ongoing Soha Ali Khan-Kunal rumours doing the rounds. Let us hope that the audience do not do the turning-around trick.
