Director:Anees Bazmee

A crazed prank without a cap on his obsession with poignancy, Anees Bazmee's Pagalapanti arrives with a mixed bag of stale gags and removes the unbridled buffalo in an attempt to knock it off as a comedy. The sheer bravado that pea-brained film is more serious than the overthrow of the mines in hopes of tickling your weird bone. The jokes are silly, the humor is lame and the acting is wildly erratic. The net result is a regular laugh riot that triggers a riot at regular intervals. Laughter is never physical.

Pagalpanti is a troop of actors tried with skill and time to revive the comedian's almost comatose, but even left Anil Kapoor, Arshad Warsi and Saurabh Shukla high and dry on a pointless script The one who thrives on situations is such a mad trail that three men desperate to get strictly wealthy quickly and two gangland veterans To manipulate greedy threesome rhythm somehow never sit.

Peppered with plot, chase, explosions, and music forcibly bungling in when nothing else is working, hinges on a bunch of fools who roam circles, carrying the film with them. Raj Kishore (John Abraham), Janaki (Arshad Warsi) and Chandu (Pulkit Samrat) start a business. It goes up in smoke. Really. Raj is blamed for bringing bad luck to the venture.

Enter the two gangsters Raja (Saurabh Shukla) and his brother-in-law WiFi brother (Anil Kapoor). They employ three down-in-the-dips men for their nefarious antics. A lot of money and effort has fallen into the drain and the criminal enterprise aims to make good losses. While the characters are faced with ups and downs as they run aimlessly, it is a road in a way for the film. It hits a point very quickly with no return and no amount of horseplay can lift Pagalpanti out of the morass.

There is no Akshay Kumar in the cast, but Pagalapanti extracts a leaf from the star's playbook and deviates into an explicit "public service" track, designed to be neatly in favor of the current political controversy. The film stars a character named Neeraj Modi (Inamulhaka), a tycoon who is left behind in a loan from India.

It provides excuses for climate catch-all wrangling by one of the main characters against economic offenders who have given slips to the authorities. It is very convenient that - not a word has been spoken against the powers and systems that allow such a Brazen Skulgdari to be rich and well connected. Anyway, come to think that, even if the film had gone there, it would have tied itself into some more unintentional knots.

Anyway, we are getting ahead of the story here. The story, Did We Tell? Well, Pagalapanti pretends that this is a story to tell. But all it can manage to mess up is a series of silly escapades spoiled by three 'pioneering' women leading the garden path by a screenplay that shows them beyond a very short space that Beyond looks beautiful and is dominated by songs that are meant to be showstoppers. Yes, they shut down the show and shut us down completely.

Sanjana (Ileana D'Cruz) is wooed by the character John Abraham and Jahnavi (Kriti Kharbanda) forms a pair with Chandu of the Pulkit emperor. Urvashi Rautela comes out of the blue towards the end of the film and quickly disappears. But this perfect royal mess has plenty of all three girls who come close enough to keep Housefull 4 in the shade.

Arshad Warsi, the best comedian in Hindi cinema today, breaks his liner one by one in his witty style. However, there is little in Pagalpanti that the actor may not have done before and with more impact. The same thing about Saurabh Shukla, another screen artist who effortlessly rises above a bad script. Even for him, it is a tough nut. Under the guise of the sly king, he is not for once, as he surveys.

The only one in this unintentional wreck of the film is the one who does not care about the ruins around him, Anil Kapoor, playing the role of an incisive, flamboyant gangster who speaks before he thinks, among the passable bits. Goes to do something. But there are so few and in-between moments that they don't add much.

John Abraham and Pulkit Samrat turn on the charm but only superficially. The former delivered it with his customary wide-shouldered swag, the latter relies on the fresh-faced carelessness he specializes in, but neither actor able to inject enough insanity into the proceedings to do justice to the cast's presence.

If there's anything in Pagalapanti that can be given a thumbs-up, it's the fact that the film's producers make no bones about their shin-level ambition. They think it makes sense to be completely absurd. But is it a very good idea to spend so much money on something? Certainly not if the show is not of a laugh-inspired type.
