Double Dhamaal movie review

‘Double Dhamaal’ is the sequel to the 2007 movie ‘Dhamaal’ which has been directed by Indra Kumar, who is known for bringing the best entertainment for the audience. But this time, movie critics  are not so impressed and fee that the director might have forgotten to add in some more spice and hence the reviews are not the best.

The earlier cast of Ashish Chaudhary, Riteish Deshmukh, Sanjay Dutt, Javed Jaafery and Arshad Warsi have been brought back, who have failed to generate and effective freshness – which a sequel demands. The movie does not boast about anything new.


The only attractions in the movie are the eye candies Mallika Sherawat and Kangana Ranaut, who seem like desperate to gain the attention of the audience.

The story is about the same old friends trying new shortcuts to make big money. The characters are loud and unreasonably irritating. Instead of delivering the dialogues, the actors in the movie seem like they are shouting at each other. The story then very slowly picks up at the later half with some twists and turns, when the it becomes bit enjoyable. One may catch the movie to watch the much talked about ‘Jalebi Bai’ item number by Mallika Sherawat – which is absolutely brilliant and Miss Sherawat must be given credit for putting a lot of effort into the dancing for the track.

Watch Double Dhamaal if you have nothing better to do this weekend.

Mallika Sherawat is hotter in 'Jalebi bai' than 'Shalu ke thumke'!

The crew of 'Double Dhamaal' had quite a treat on the sets and not just with actress Mallika Sherawat grooving sensuously to the song 'Jalebi bai', but also with piping hot jalebis.

Director Indra Kumar used to order as much as 25 kg of jalebis (Indian sweet) daily for the whole unit to feast on. In fact, on the last day of the song's shoot, all the unit members including choreographer Ganesh Acharya and diet conscious Mallika had a party of sorts with hot jalebis.

'The item song was shot at Mehboob Studio, and the mood was so festive and celebratory that we decided to have sweets everyday in honour of the song! We ordered around 25 kilos of sweets for the whole unit and since sweets are always associated with celebrations, the entire mood of the crew used to be very upbeat,' told Kumar.

Mallika is previously being talked about for her sizzling dance in the song 'Shalu ke thumke' from the yet to be released 'Bin Bulaye Baraati', but Kumar tells 'Jalebi bai' is a step ahead.

'The song promos will be up by this weekend, and we are sure it will be a huge talking point! Mallika has outdone herself as Jalebi bai,' he added.

'Double Dhamaal', a co-production by Reliance Pictures and Maruti International, will release June 24. The world premiere of the film will take place on the same date at the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) weekend, to be held in Toronto.
