There is one thing conspicuously invisible in 'All The Best'
. The Director - Rohit Shetty. Not that he has any noteworthy cinema riding on his back with forgettable works such as Golmaal, Golmaal returns (??!!), Zameen and Sunday but this time around, it's as though the actors Ajay Devgan, Fardeen Khan, Sanjay Dutt, Sanjay Mishra, Johnny Lever and the femme fatales were left on their own with a half page story to work with. Screenplay, script, editing etc are left to the spot boys while the handful of funny dialogues must be conjured up by the actors themselves. Thus, all we get in terms of entertainment are a few funny scenes and dialogues and the rest of the movie being a stale brew of hamming, over-the-top action, loud comedy and silly amateurish scenes that suit a 4th grade school play than a movie with so many actors.
All the best is what one could watch on a holiday afternoon when there's nothing better to watch on television. You will kill time instead of passing through it .. some brain cells as well. Fardeen Khan is wasted in a role where he appears to be nothing more than helpless, Ajay Devgan has done better even in Hindustan Ki Kasam with his performance while his aspirations of being a producer are rightly picked on by Dutt's humorous take on it in the movie. Even Johnny Lever had one of his worst roles in the movie where he plays a mute gangster whereas Sanjay Mishra's character does nothing but repeat the same dialogues over and over to the point of irritation. Bipasha does what best she can do with the piecemeal role that she has while that Mugdha Godse may not be seen on the big screen again after this stint. Sanjay Dutt is the only actor who entertains in the movie. All the jokes, quirky dialogues and funny scenes belong to him and he renders them flawlessly.
Surprisingly, in all the mess, 2 songs truly stand out by Pritam – 'Haan Main Jitni Martaba' & 'Kyon'. KK & Pritam have given countless hits and this time too, they excel with their combined skills with a rocking track in 'Martaba' while Clinton Cerejo gives his best so far in 'Kyon'. The conclusion is that Sanjay Dutt is the only factor one can sit through the movie that has some bit of humour in dialogues and scenes associated with his character. The rest of the movie is simply forgettable and at the same time memorable for the complete lack of direction in its plot, editing, screenplay, meaning, purpose and authenticity. For a Diwali release, such negligence should be unforgivable. One must subject Rohit Shetty to watch Golmaal & Golmaal Returns back-to-back!!
