Watch All the Best: Fun Begins For Free

Excellent, a Must See

To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

One chaos follows the other, one problem follows another, one guest is followed by a hundred of this. It is such a non-stop laugh riot which takes off like an aircraft right from the moment Dharam bhaiyya arrives at the airport. I cannot name a person who did not play a part in making this such wonderful experience. The duel between Dharam and Prem is full of such hilarious scenes. I will be very honest here to admit that I have never ever been fan of Johnny Lever's comedy. I have mostly found it annoying, especially given the main part of his comedy revolves around facial expressions, but here was a case of such a hilarious film that I even enjoyed his role.The night scene where Dharam and Prem end up being in the same room, I almost choked the first time I watch this film back then in 2009/10 - offering a light-hearted relief amidst a huge family crisis in our lives. It is amongst the most popular comedy films in our family, and one of my brothers-in- law could literally watch this everyday of the week and yet roll on the floor each time (and I had actually kept it as a surprise for him that we will be watching this film). The "Chammachch eik, cheeni dou baar" is such a popular dialogue in our daily lives. It is the sympathetic expression on Sanjay Dutt's face, before he finally explodes, the expressions on RGV (Sanjay Mishra)'s, the way he sits cross-legged on the chair, make it such an unforgettable scene.

Rohit Shetty returns with the usual slapstick fare of comedy. Once again he has come out with another mindless offering of humour. It seems that he has made Goa the base for his movies. I don't think that Rohit deserves a high rating for being a comedy movie director. As I don't feel he understands the elements of comedy. He is truly not a master in this genre but he knows how to handle a camera. David Dhawan was more skilled with these type of movies. As again this movie is in the same vein as the 'golmaal' movie's. It is totally devoid of any situational comedy or humorous dialogues. Instead the movie completely relies on pathetic and childish behaviour from all that act in the movie. The overall atmosphere in the movie reminded me a lot of the movie 'No Entry', as the theme of identity confusion was very evident in both. The plot revolves more around Fardeen Khan as his brother thinks that he is married to Mugda Godse. But the truth is somewhat else. Both Fardeen and Ajay are notified by Sanjay Dutt that he will be staying over at his place due to a 4 hour plane delay. At that moment Mugda is away so Fardeen assumes that Ajay told him that Bipasha Basu is to stand in as the wife. When initially the housemaid was chosen by Ajay. From here onwards every attempt is made to sustain Sanjay's believe that Bipasha is Fardeen's wifeThe movie progresses with one plot track however this does not develop to a large substance. Many other characters enter in and out in the movie but their involvement is so restrained that one does find their presence to have any importance. The smaller characters do feel to deter our concentration away from the main stars. At times this does tend to side track the movie in a frustrating manner. As the movie is based on a play one wished that the running time of the movie was restricted to 2 hours. There was no need to go beyond that duration. The movie's pace does vary from time to time but the presence of Sanjay Dutt sustains ones attention. He is undoubtedly the centre of attention in the movie. His comic timing and charisma is very hilarious. It is due to him that one is encouraged to watch on. After giving a good performance in one of the best comedy of the year 'Life Partner', Fardeen khan disappoints despite being a integral part in the movie. However he gives good support to Ajay Devgan. Ajay on the other hand irritates. Mugda Godse leaves no impression in a very small role. There was potential to involve her however she was ignored. This was disappointing despite she gave an impressive debut in 'Fashion'. She has talent and did the best she could in the few scenes she had. Bipasha Basu looked very glamorous. Since 2007 she has toned her body very well. She exhibits her assets to a high extreme. Her acting ability has matured after so much time.The scenery and locales of Goa add a certain tropical appealing atmosphere to the movie. It is a change from seeing Mumbai.If you are in to brainless fun, this one is for you.

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!!5.62 on a scale of 1-10.

'ALL THE BEST' is a decent movie with superb direction. Rohit Shetty and Ajay Devgan are again at their best. After GOLMAAL and GOLMAAL RETURNS, they are back again with lots of action, lots of fun, laughs and lots of romance all lead to 'ALL THE BEST'. The movie has some kiddish jokes also but overall it is a good and a time pass movie. Sanju bhai was again at his best. Ajay devgan was superb. Fardeen also acted nicely and fitted perfectly in the role of Veer. Bipaha Basu also was at her best. Mughda Godse could have done a little better. OVERALL it was a good and a funny movie. I would like to give the movie 6 stars out of 10. its indeed a watchable movie.
