3.5 Very Good

This movie is a so called 'sequel' to the best film of 2006, Golmaal. But there is hardly any connection in the story apart from the male characters! But Golmaal Returns is a breezy entertainer, has already done quite well at the B.O. This is not as good as the prequel though.

It is another of the typical slapstick comedies we have seen recently. Ajay Devgan is this exporting senior in a fishery which reportedly exports drugs. Kareena is a house wife addicted to the typical Saas-Bahu serials and Amrita Arora is his sister. Lucky(Tusshar) is Kareena's brother, a hair stylist. Arshad Warsi is again Madhav Singh Ghai, but this time a cop in Goa. He and Gopal can't stand each other.

Loosely based on the 1973 film Aaj Ki Taaza Khabar, Golmaal Returns revolves around the story of 1 night. That night, a fellow working in the fisheries where Gopal works is killed and all his fingers are cut off. Gopal keeps having fights with him, so Inspector Madhav doubts Gopal of killing the man. But that night Gopal saved Meera(Celina Jaitley)from a bunvh of crooks and had to spend the night at the dock because both their cars were spoilt. But he can't say that because then his ever suspecting wife Ekta will think something happened between them. So this becomes Golmaal all over again!

But there is a problem in this film. The script. It's very silly! But the dialogues are efficient from Farhan-Sajid. The one-liners are ever-green in this masala entertainer and one could leave the hall reasonably pleased with the comedy.

Performances?? Well, Kareena and Ajay totally rule this one, Talpade and Tusshar were also quite good. Anjana Sukhani is really sidelined. So not much scope for her. Celina is also impressive and Amrita Arora and Arshad Warsi are strictly just above good.

GR has the capacity to do well, and may it do so! Go for this one if you wanna have a blast with jokes!
