Yamla Pagla Deewana (New Comedy Hindi Film / Bollywood Movie / Indian Cinema DVD) [DVD]

Yamla Pagla Deewana, apt to the title brings together the
three Deols- Dharmendra, Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol as never featured before in
a film genre comprising of comedy, action and romance. The film begins in
Canada, travels to Banaras and eventually makes its way to Punjab. The father-
son duo of Dharam Singh and Gajodhar Singh (Dharmendra and Bobby Deol) are the
biggest conmen in Banaras. Their happy go lucky existence involves drinking
and pulling off hilarious cons on unsuspecting people. The only hitch in their
perfect albeit notorious life arrives in the form of Paramveer Singh Dhillon
(Sunny Deol). A brawny and honest NRI from Vancover, Paramveer lands up in
Banaras claiming to be Gajodhar's elder brother separated at childhood. The
duo willingly accepts Paramveer into their fold only to exploit his muscle
power to serve their con games. Meanwhile, Gajodhar falls in love with Saheba
(Kulraj Randhawa), a beautiful Sardarni from Punjab. As their romance reaches
its peak, her brothers arrive and forcibly take her away. Paramveer saves the
day with a crazy plan to win the girl back for Gajodhar which leads them to
the rustic heartlands of Punjab. What follows is a rollercoaster ride
showcasing the Great Indian Joint Family, Eccentric Relatives, Marriage
Mayhem, and a classic case of Mistaken Identities! Review What makes the movie
work? A variety of reasons- One, watching the Deol parivaar in one frame is an
experience in itself. Two, drama, emotions and light moments are smartly
integrated in the narrative. Three, the punches [most of them] are thoroughly
enjoyable. Four, the entertainment quotient. Most importantly, it delivers
what it promised in its promos: Laughter and amusement.Yamla Pagla Deewana is
a hardcore mass entertainer that fulfils the expectations of the aam junta.
Those who love Deols will adore this one, while those who don't, won't be able
to ignore it either. The film works big time for its mass-appealing second
half and loads of entertainment it has to offer. --platform47.com Yamla Pagla
Deewana is a fun ride. The film has a slow, insipid beginning but starts
crackling after a while. There are umpteen jokes on Sardars, on how they take
pride in their hospitality, their brawn, their fascination for Canadian
Sardars and finally how they forget to use their brains in a fit of fury. Poli
(Sucheta Khanna), the only woman you get to see other than Saheba in the
household, gets really crazy with her English. In short you get a peep into a
well to do rural Sardar family.All the three Deols come up with a great
performance. Sunny with his beatific smile, flexes his muscles when necessary,
plays the elder brother's part to perfection, Bobby as the crook gets more
screen time in the first half of the story, after interval, he is mostly
required to keep mum and push Sunny to keep the story moving. However apart
from some lovey dovey gazes between Gajodhar and Sahiba, you don't get to see
real chemistry happening. Dharmendra has an equally interesting part to play
and adds to the confusion in the latter half.If you are asked to pinpoint
which Deol has come out with the best, it will be a bit difficult, as all of
them have their own special moments. Dharmendra despite his age comes with a
zany work, tailor made for him.Yamla Pagla Deewana is a perfect watch for
those who love comedy. --platform47.com The right dose of action, drama and
comedy, combined with a fine story make YAMLA PAGLA DEEWANA a paisa vasool
(worth every penny) entertainer. --platform47.com
