Hungama (2003)
6/10
One of Priyadarshan's good comedies
13 March 2014
Warning: Spoilers
Priyadarshan became a known face in comedy after HERA PHERI(2000), followed by the dud YEH TERA GHAR YEH MERA GHAR(2001), Hungama was a comeback for him and the film did well. The film is an adaptation of Priyadarshan's own 1984 film Poochakkoru Mookkuthi; which itself was based on Charles Dickens' play, The Strange Gentleman. The film does take time to set in, with multiple stories at one GO. but the scenes between Paresh-Shoma and the entire affair angle of Paresh-Rimii and Akshaye-Shoma is hilarious though the other confusions don't get settled properly, some are left hanging midway and never settled. Aftab-Rimii angle is okay, but the love triangle does seem hasty. Rajpal's track is funny and also Shakti Kapoor's track The end is like HERA PHERI but Priyan doesn't settle all the subplots only the main story

Direction by Priyan is good Music by Nadeem Shravan is decent, Pari is melidious, while other songs are good but their placements distract

Paresh Rawal is the scene stealer, the actor is in character unlike his latter comedies and delivers comedy in a straight face Shoma Anand is hilarious too though she does go overboard at many places Akshaye Khanna is decent in his role, Rimii Sen in her debut with a dubbed voice is decent though she does come across too much at many places Aftab Shivdasani is decent too, though he gets less scope Rajpal Yadav is amazing in a half baked role, Manoj Joshi is okay Tiku Talsania, Sanjay Narvekar, Neena Kulkarni are okay, Jagdish(Malyalam actor) who plays the servant is superb.
