Priyadarshan's name was synomonous with dramatic films like Gardish, Virasat and then he turned a new leaf with Hera Pheri and kept doing comedies, most remakes of his Malyalam hits. This film is a remake of an English comedy Boeing Boeing Akshay was mostly criticised as an actor in 90s and he was pathetic in comedy in Mr & Mrs Khiladi and some more films, In Hera Pheri he was quite good but with Khakee suddenly his comic bone started getting noticed, after that Mujhse Shaadi Karoge where he stole the show, Garam Masala was his first solo comedy role though he shared screen space with John too. The film however has no main plot, no logic, no sense yet it's hilarious in many places, though at times it resorts to complete nonsense just to bring laughs like Akshay-John rivalry which suddenly is forgotten in second half. The film starts off on an ordinary note but some scenes are funny like John's promotion, Akshay and John's scene in the hotel and later on some scenes in the house though one does question, How come all the girls cant even hear sounds?But that is like asking too much from such a film.
There are some scenes which are really funny like how Akshay hides from all three girlfriends and till the end it keeps you laughing though it does drag at places, there is no proper continuity too some things happen too sudden too and look contrived, The preclimax is hilarious but the ending is abrupt.
Direction by Priyadarshan is not at his best but good in several portions
Music by Pritam is good but the songs many times do seem forced, Dil Samdundar is good but wrongly placed, while Kiss Me Baby is good, it was added in between later after the success of the film, Falak Dekhun is a superb romantic number by Sonu Nigam, Ada is good
Akshay Kumar's deadpan humour, his expressions, his dialogue delivery are simply spot on, he carries off most ridiculous situations with flair, However at times for some reason he laughs out loud but yet this is one of his best perf John Abraham tries hard to fit in the comic set up, this was his first comic role but he doesn't seem fit, he struggles a lot in his delivery Paresh Rawal is really superb with his deadpan act, sadly later in his career he became loud and theatrical and repetitive, but here he is simply amazing. Rajpal Yadav is not given too much importance, he is funny at times Manoj Joshi is good, Asrani is okay Amongst girls, Daisy, Neetu Chandra and Nargis are okay for their debuts, Only Neetu was seen or heard later rest vanished Neetu too could hardly make a mark Rimii Sen has a small role she is as usual
