wogma rating: Watch if you have nothing better to do ^(?)

quick review: What you see (in the promos) is what you get. Over-the-top, no-head-nor-tail, senselessness served in the name of unpretentious cinema. Sure, many from the crowd around me were laughing, hooting, and whistling their hearts out. At what though, is beyond me.

No thanks, I'm very comfortable with my sense of humor.

Yamla pagla deewana Review:

Story of movie is a family drama of a man searching his family got separated from him. Sunny Deol is in the role of Paramveer Singh Dhillon, an honest man living with his mother, his Canadian wife Mary and two sons in Vancouver city of Canada. He is working as a loan recovery agent in a bank of Canada. His mother who is a typical Punjabi woman had decided to give divorce to her husband Dharam Singh (role played by Dharmendra ) because of their personal problems. But one night suddenly Dharam Singh took the younger son and disappeared. In search of father and younger brother, Paramveer decided to go back to India.

Both father and son live in Banaras and are the biggest fraud there. Dharam has good personality and a very stylish man and adored by women of his age. He does not believe in love. His son Gajodhar (played by Bobby Deol) has same habits like his father but gets easily nervous in the company of women.

It will be great to find out that how this family comes together through comedy of errors.

Music directors of the movie are Rahul Seth, Sandesh Shandilya and RDB and the lyrics are written by Irshad kamil and Rahul Seth.

The concept was not nice.It was a nonsense comedy,although the acting genius did his best but still there is something else which the people are looking for now!
