It has some genuinely funny moments
The template is the same. A dying man reveals a secret about Rs50 crore that he has left hidden in a zoo in Janakpur, India.
Surrounding him is the greedy cast of the film - the husband-wife duo (Madhuri Dixit Nene and Anil Kapoor), the dim-witted Javed Jaffrey and his brother, Arshad Warsi, the cunning Ajay Devgn and his accomplice Sanjay Mishra, Police Commissioner Boman Irani, North-Indian accented Ritesh Deshmukh and many others.
Total Dhamaal is a comedy of errors. The gags r good. Special mention is the appearance by the original comedy king, Johnny Lever, who lifts the entertainment with his Bengali scientist-pilot act.
Him trying to fly a makeshift chopper fitted with a 'rickshaw kick' and a ceiling fan is gold. Johnny Lever is impressive in his short cameo.
It is refreshing to see the duo of Anil Kapoor and Madhuri Dixit come together on screen after 18 years. Their constant bickering as a couple is entertaining.
Javed Jaffrey will make you laugh with his child-like honesty and Sanjay Mishra with his English...,, but over done it 'bro bro bro bro'..!!
Movie doesn't rely on vulgar one-liners or double entendres and yet is packed with some funny moments, overall a clean film.
Just like most Indian comedy films, all the characters gather in a central place (zoo) in the climax. What follows is 15 minutes of bad VFX.
What the film guarantees for two hours is clean entertainment - a film with dialogues that can be seen with your full family sitting next to you. It is paisa-vasool and won't fail to entertain you.
One time watch..!!
