Directed by : Priyadarshan

I haven't seen Malamaal Weekly, whose sequel this film is. But, there's hardly any link between the old film, except for the starting scene in the film. Priyadarshan is one director I feel should make more intense and realistic films like 'Aakrosh', but his heart it appears lies in these comedy movies. Here, he once again presents a movie that has got a meaning somewhere, but won't end up making you like the film in totality.
The main reason why the film doesn't work for me is, Shreyas Talpade, he is asked to act so loudly, or maybe thats how he has become now, with his choice of films since some time. There are many times when you would feel irritated with either what Shreyas is doing with his character, or what his character is doing in the story.
Only respite in the movie comes from the two veteran actors, Om Puri and Nana Patekar. In case of Nana Patekar, I would say he may well say opposite to what I said about Shreyas. Nana, these days does characters that have less dialogues, maybe I miss the one who would show his anger with those heavy dialogues. Nevertheless, Nana Patekar does very well in this movie too. Those khana sequenes specially when he enters the house or goes to dhaba were very funny.
Paresh Rawal has a half baked role, and the climax scene just cracks me up with the unusual and typical change of heart I have seen in dozen hindi films. Yea, in real life we change too that quickly, right ?
The girl opposite Shreyas, looked very beautiful.. though her acting was just about okay.
And the songs in the movie appear from no where, forced into the narrative for the sake of it. Only the title song is somewhat nice.
The climax is completely stretched, and predictable.
Among the supporting cast, only Neeraj Vora and Asrani have a decent enough roles.. rest all are totally wasted.
Overall, Kamaal Dhamaal Malamaal is watchable only for Om Puri and Nana Patekar, otherwise its a film that has nothing new to offer or remember at all.
Verdict : BELOW AVERAGE
