Golmaal Returns, sequel to 2006 hit comedy movie, Golmaal, is finally out and boy, it’s creating history on the box office charts. Diwali season is here and people are rushing to cinemas to get a dose of this Brainless comedy. Honestly, I didn’t expect much from this movie by going through the response of the audience but I decided to give it a shot, myself.

I’m not going to write anything about the story as there is none. So, is Golmaal Returns better than its prequel, Golmaal? I don’t think so. But first, let’s discuss some good points about the movie.

Good Points

1. Tusshar Kapoor – He again steals the show with his superb performance as a guy who can’t speak. He outshines everyone out there and he does come in handy to surpass the Censor Board of India by abusing in his own language. Now, that’s a nice plan by the director.

2. Humor – Since, it’s a brainless comedy, so you’ve to keep your brains at home. I’m not a fan of such comedies but humor was better in this one. No sex and toilet jokes, that’s a relief.

3. Performance by men – If Fashion was all about women then Golmaal Returns is all about men. Ajay Devgan, Shreyas Talpade, and Tusshar Kapoor give a good performance and the chemistry between Shreyas and Tusshar is worth mentioning. Shreyas again proves his versatility with his performance.

Bad Points about Golmaal Returns

1. Spoofs – Golmaal returns can’t be called as an Original movie because there is no story at all. Director is more interested in spoofing other movies especially that of Sanjay Leela Bhansali. Spoof movies are somewhat funny but this was drop dead boring.

2. Arshad Warsi – I’m really disappointed with him this time but there is not much fault of his too. His role is weakly written and has no character development. Comic timing is bad, no witty lines and zero sense of humor.

3. The ladies – If you leave out Kareena Kapoor, all other ladies have no role to play. Amrita Arora, Celina Jately, and Anjana Sukhani have no role to play. Anjana only comes like in 3 scenes and that too coming out from the gym. That’s it! Why did they even sign this film? If we talk about their performances, nauseating would be the right word. All of them need to go to some acting school, seriously. This movie shows how producers use ladies just for eye-candies.

4. Music – Music is of the lowest quality. Only Tha Karke is a good song but that too is forced in the movie. Pritam, wake up!

5. Climax and Ending – Everyone comes together in the ending and tries to kill themselves. That is a type of ending which is so stupid that you regret to spend your money on this. If you laughed during the ending, you don’t have a sense of humor at all.

Verdict

Golmaal Returns is your average brainless comedy with little laughs and a large amount of boredom. Obviously, director of the movie, Rohit Shetty, didn’t bother to work on the story as he knew that he would be able to bank on the success of Golmaal. It’s the fine chemistry between the leading actors that save the movie from being a total bore.

Golmaal Returns
Race, Jannat, Kismat Konnection, and Singh is Kinng, all of them are the music chartbusters of this year and what’s the common link between them? All of them are composed by Pritam. So what if many of the songs are copied from South Korean artists? Copying is an art, too! Well, for his die-hard fans, he is back again with his new soundtrack for the movie, Golmaal Returns, which is highly anticipated due to the success of Golmaal.

So, does Pritam spin his magic again? Highly unlikely! It looks like Pritam lost his touch on this one and inclusion of previous songs from Golmaal can pretty much confirm that. Yes, there are songs from Golmaal which were composed by Vishal-Shekhar and those are the only saving points of this soundtrack.

Golmaal Returns consist of 15 songs out of which 6 are from Golmaal, 5 are remixes and 4 are originals and there is one English version of one Hindi song. I know that doesn’t sound palatable but we can’t do anything about that. One note to the readers, you’re not going to get any romantic number in this album. Every song is meant to be an upbeat song and it’s not a surprise considering the theme of the movie.

1. Tha Kar Ke

The soundtrack starts with a bang with Tha Kar Ke and I won’t be surprised if you don’t know what it means. Also, this song is composed by a new music director, Ashish Pandit. Ironically, this is the only good song out of all the originals. It may take some time to like this song but once you start liking it, there is no going back. Neeraj Shridhar does his job perfectly and so do the others including Anvesha, Aakariti, Earl and Indie. It’s a pretty solid track with good amount of playback value.

2. Vacancy

I really don’t know what to say about Vacancy. It’s one of those which you either hate or love but can’t ignore. There is a feel of old Golmaal song but with a fast beat. Just like Tha Kar Ke, it is an upbeat song with Neeraj in the lead. Lyrics are nothing special and music is average, too. It’s for hardcore Preetam’s fans. 5 minute length hampers its playback value big time.

When will music composers realize that there is no use of making such a lengthy song? They should learn something from Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na soundtrack. One reason for its success was the short length of the songs.

3. Tu Saala

Tu Saala doesn’t make any sense and one wonders why it was included in the album? It is definitely one of the worst songs to come out this year. Thank god, you don’t have to listen it for long time as it is only 3 minutes and 29 seconds long. Phew!

4. Meow

What’s the deal with the song title these days? Last year, it was Dard-E-Disco, and this year, it is Tandoori Nights from the movie Karzzz. Now there is one more addition to this list and that is Meow. I wonder if they were inspired from Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, if you know what I mean.

At least, this one is better than Tu Saala with better music and singing but not what you call a chartbuster. It’s an average song with a little playback value. To add to your woes, there is one English version of this song. What was the use of it, anyway? Was Pritam out of ideas for this one?

In a nutshell, music of Golmaal Returns disappoints. Thank god, they included songs from Golmaal. They make the album worth listening. It’s not a good start for Golmaal Returns.

Best Songs – Tha Kar Ke, Golmaal (Original from Golmaal)
