After staying away from Bollywood for round 8 years, the grasp director is again with HUNGAMA 2. The primary half, launched in 2003, was a laugh-a-minute riot and is remembered fondly even immediately. Does HUNGAMA 2 emerge as humorous as or higher than half 1? Or does it fail to impress? Let’s analyse.
HUNGAMA 2 is the story of a person in hassle after his ex-flame arrives at his home and causes ‘hungama’. Akash Kapoor (Meezaan Jafri) stays together with his father, Colonel Kapoor (Ashutosh Rana), sister, his brother’s youngsters and a butler, Nandan (Tiku Talsania).

Priyadarshan’s story is promising and has all of the elements of a stable, advanced entertainer that he’s well-known for. However Yunus Sajawal’s screenplay spoils the present. The narrative is in all places. There are too many characters and subplots and aren’t stitched collectively properly. Additionally, logic takes a backseat. This normally occurs in comedy movies however right here, it reaches unbelievable ranges. Manisha Korde and Anukalp Goswami’s dialogues strive their finest to contribute humour and drama but it surely’s not upto the specified stage.
Priyadarshan’s route is common. He’s laced with a poor script and that additional diminishes the affect. Prior to now, he has exceled with comedies the place there are far too many characters and misunderstandings. How he used to handle to easily execute the insanity regardless of challenges was once his USP. The filmmaker tries to duplicate his components however doesn’t succeed. The fundamental plot is such that the movie might have been humorous from begin to end. However the humour could be very weak and in addition the humorous conditions are few and much between. He doesn’t even do justice to among the subplots. Even the reply to the thriller behind the sudden look of Vaani on the Kapoor household’s residence is foolish. On the constructive, a couple of scenes right here and there do handle to boost laughs however clearly it’s not sufficient.

HUNGAMA 2 begins on a uninteresting and severe notice. The observe of Gagan Chandra D’costa (Johny Lever) and that of the children does increase a couple of laughs. However the children then disappear and re-emerge solely within the second half. This makes it clear that issues are going to occur at random within the movie. Just a few scenes that stand out and are literally humorous are Nandan discussing the contents of the DNA report and Popat Jamal (Rajpal Yadav) claiming to be Vaani’s husband. Popat additionally single-handedly contributes to the humour within the climax. However as talked about earlier than, it was not sufficient. Ideally, the entire movie ought to have been hilarious, identical to the primary half.
Meezaan Jafri is strictly okay. The actor tries his finest however in some scenes, his comedian timing shouldn’t be upto the mark. A task like this required a much more gifted actor. Pranitha Subhash places up a assured act and leaves a mark. Shilpa Shetty appears ravishing and proves that she will be able to nonetheless ship a high quality efficiency. Sadly, her display screen time is proscribed. Paresh Rawal’s observe is humorous however the humour is weak. Efficiency-wise, he’s first-rate. Ashutosh Rana has a lengthier and even stronger position. He goes a bit overboard however manages to entertain. Tiku Talsania additionally will get his act proper, particularly within the DNA report scene. Manoj Joshi is alright. Rajpal Yadav has a small position however brings in massive laughs. Johny Lever is nice within the cameo. Akshaye Khanna is nothing nice within the particular look. The kid actors do properly however their observe shouldn’t be properly utilized. The actors enjoying Meezaan’s sister and brother are common.
Anu Malik’s music is forgettable. ‘Chura Ke Dil Mera 2.0’ is one of the best of the lot due to Shilpa’s sensuous strikes. ‘Pehli Baar’, ‘Chinta Na Kar’, ‘Aao Chalein Hum’ and ‘Hungama Ho Gaya’ are disappointing. Ronnie Raphael’s background rating is healthier and is within the Priyadarshan zone.
Ekhambhram N Okay’s cinematography is breath-taking. The locales of Manali are properly captured. Selvakumar’s manufacturing design could be very superior. In actual fact, the movie appears like a wealthy product. The costumes are glamorous, particularly those worn by Shilpa Shetty. M S Aiyyapan Nair’s enhancing might have been tighter.
On the entire, HUNGAMA 2 shouldn’t be as humorous as one expects it to be. The movie suffers as a result of lengthy size, insipid script, weak humour and lack of logic. A significant disappointment.
