Reflections from the pensieve

With Golmaal 3 Rohit Shetty manages successfully to tickle those bones which were dead after watching this year's horrible zombie comedies like Khatta Meetha. Relying heavily on the chemistry of its ensemble cast with a virtually non-existent script the movie is a real treat to watch. If the first ten minutes is left to the fore gang led by Ajay Devgn, the last ten minutes proves why Johnny Lever is still the king of comedy. Adorned by PJs, brainless dialogues and some really funny scenes the movie scores in the first 15 minutes itself. Ajay Devgn is good as a short tempered man who has his lid off when he sees someone pointing a finger, he s accompanied by his brother Shreyas Talpade, who has a stammer. This family is headed by their single mom whose love for Mithun reinvigorates after meeting him since long. Mithun plays a bus driver character a single father who has adopted Arshad, Kunal and Tusshar the mute. Kareena plays the character in helping the love interests but the bigger trouble is to merge the 2 sets of siblings which sparks of a series of hilarious events. But this is the latter half which apparently is bogged down with an emotional scene in between which literally kills the fun part (a big mistake), else the first part is really funny when Ajay and Shreyas along with Kareena try to sabotage Kunal, Arshad and Tusshar's business and vice versa. In between are really funny scenes of Johnny Lever and his gang ie Vrajesh and Sanjay Mishra. Johnny has this character of a don who suffers from amnesia like Ghajini and his transition into different persona are out of the world. Meanwhile Mukesh Tiwari reprises his role of Vasooli bhai and gets cheated around as usual. The movie is absolute fun in the first half but gets a sudden break with a not so required emotional scene. The ending could have been more boring had Johnny Lever not shown his antics. Mithun packs a punch in his role, is funny in short bursts but good ones, one of his dialogues or rather spate of killer dialogues with Prem Chopra (as his love interest's rich dad) is as follows "jiske ghar seeshe ke hote hain woh basement main jaakar kapde change karte hain". Another scene worth mentioning is a mock/mute enacting of pushing up various stuffs up the other sibling gangs arse. Rohit's direction is good because of the fact he had no script weight, he was able to get some really good scenes, including a retro altercation scene of the wannabe husband and a rich dad with the music of those times.
Overall the movie is a total brainless must watch with a gang of friends.
