I kind of liked David Dhawan's last two films Do Knot Disturb(which wasn't really liked by majority of audience) and Partner(which was a hit). With Rascals, he has again taken a step completely backwards.

Its hard to think, that you should criticise the film for its cheapness or not. Because when the title itself is 'Rascals' and going by the promos, they always promoted the film or made the film on that lines.But, I still couldn't accept all the cheap acts that happens in the film, especially involving Kangana Ranaut.

Surely, Ajay  Devgan and Sanjay Dutt give in very good performances together. At places, which its bound to happen in such a film, they go over the top and loud. Kangana Ranaut, I doubt anyone would like in this role, playing a role of dumb girl, who is willingly doing anything the two rascals would ask her to. I won't even describe that in detail here.

Lisa Haydon is also limited to skin show in the small part she has in this film. Hiten Paintal gets no scope even in a supporting character. Arjun Rampal fails mainly because he is given some of the worst possible witty lines to enact in the film. While Satish Kaushik, the reliable man most often in comedy films, also dissappoints in a scene that is completely over the top.

The title track and shake it saiiyyan are the only tracks worth liking in the film, which comes at right places. Rest songs are more or less forced.


Overall, Rascals is a good watch for you, if you like the 'cheap oriented films'. Else, most likely you are gonna get irritated with the comedy, the gags that work very less. Only thing you would say is, can comedy be created only by keeping a dumb character ?

Verdict : Poor
