HOME | SCOOP!! & NEWS | BOLLYWOOD Fool And Final : Movie Review01st June 2007 23.00 IST By Nikhil Kumar 'Fool And Final' is like an overstuffed parantha (sizzled in desi ghee) that is hard to gulp down your throat. It is called the comedy of confusion. Stuff the story with as many outlandish and over-the-top characters as possible. Throw in a common motive: a diamond robbery in this case. Fill the plot with one 'humorous' situation after another until the story and the comedy in it reaches a high point of confusion. This is the formula that Fool And Final follows. 
The movie, directed by choreographer-turned-director Ahmed Khan, belongs to the same genre as Neeraj Vora's Phir Hera Pheri . The aim is to provide wholesome entertainment in the name of comedy. To begin with, just a mere recollection of the movie's story will confuse you (me as well). Anyway, here it is. Beware. At the centre of the movie's story is a diamond that is stolen in Mumbai by Rocky ( Chunky Pandey ) and smuggled to Dubai to be sold to Lalvani (Asrani), who is the partner of Rocky's uncle Choksey ( Gulshan Grover ), a London-based don. On the other hand, Rajaa ( Shahid Kapur ), his girlfriend Tina ( Ayesha Takia ) and her uncle Choubey ( Paresh Rawal ) are small time thieves. They are approached by a Dubai-based don called Moscow Chikna ( Arbaaz Khan ) to steal the diamond from Rocky. Parallel to this is another plot revolving around Luckee ( Vivek Oberoi ) who runs a fight club in Dubai on behalf of another don. Enters Munna ( Sunny Deol ), a muscle-flexing do-gooder who saves a damsel in distress and thrashes the fighters in the fight club. The story takes a spin when the diamond is stolen yet again. Confusion reigns supreme as all the characters try to keep the trail of the elusive stone. In this crowd, the movie simply loses its direction. The comedy remains banal, except for a few slivers of good laughs. The music, by Himesh Reshammiya, is strictly okay. The cinematography is good. But a mere visual appeal can't save the film. Ahmed Khan hardly tries anything new in 'Fool And Final'. He opts for the comedy of errors (or confusion) created by the movie's overcrowded cast, and peppers it up with some gritty action sequences involving Shahid Kapur (riding the BMX bike) and Sunny Deol (punching his fists of fury). But it is the senseless situational comedy that fails to make up for the absence of a good script. Only Paresh Rawal and Shahid Kapur manage to do some comedy convincingly. Arbaaz Khan hams, Sunny Deol is stiff and uptight, while Vivek Oberoi is loose in his expressions. Ayesha Takia is eye-candy (for obvious reasons) and performs fine enough. Sameera Reddy is hardly there. The same goes for talented actors like Sharmila Tagore and Om Puri . Johnny Lever (as cabbie) is over-the-top. Jackie Shroff is wasted. 'Fool And Final' tries to provide every form of cinematic entertainment in its running time. And that is its major flaw. Sailing in too many boats, the movie ends up neither here nor there.
