HOME | SCOOP!! & NEWS | BOLLYWOOD Dhol : Movie Review21st Sept 2007 20.10 IST By Nikhil Kumar By now we have gotten familiar with the Priyadarshan brand of humour – hilarious situations arising out of confusion and chaos. His latest movie Dhol bears the trademark Priyan stamp. Priyadarshan , it appears, has an inexhaustible capacity for making comedy films. Comedy is a serious business, and Priyan is the man who can take a flop film like ‘Pardah Hai Pardah’ and give it a new garb as ‘Dhol’. 
This time there is no Akshay Kumar or Paresh Rawal to shoulder the movie. Priyan relies on small-timers like Tusshar Kapoor , Kunal Khemu , Sharman Joshi and Rajpal Yadav . For the side-roles Priyan falls back on his regulars like Om Puri and Asrani . ‘Dhol’ tells the story of four friends (Tusshar, Sharman, Kunal and Rajpal). The four are good-for-nothing, unemployed and laidback youths who dream of making it big in life in the easiest possible way and by taking the shortest possible route. That route, they reckon, would be to marry a rich girl. To their good fortune, a rich girl ( Tanushree Dutta ) moves into their neighborhood with her grandparents. The four friends try many tricks to woo her, but Tanushree ignores them. Then, to their utter surprise, the four discover that Tanushree is trying to solve a mystery. Instantly, they plan to help her to win her heart. Even though ‘Dhol’ follows Priyan’s tried and tested formula of comedy, the movie does have a number of well-executed sequences that will have you in splits. One of these scenes is when the four friends, eager to help Tanushree, spray water on her house, thinking it is on fire when in reality there is a havan puja going on inside. Another scene is when the four guys push Tanushree’s grandfather’s car off a cliff. What makes ‘Dhol’ work is the camaraderie between the four actors. Rajpal Yadav steals the show with his superb comic timing. Tusshar and Sharman are pretty okay. Kunal Khemu, previously seen in serious roles, shows a bit of flair to tickle the funny bone. Tanushree and Payal Rohatgi do not have substantial roles. Om Puri and Asrani are good. The movie’s music is forgettable. The cinematography is of quality. All in all, ‘Dhol’ is funny, but only in patches. Alongside hilarious scenes are sequences that drag and bore you. The songs are another spoiler. Yet, the movie is not a bad watch.
