Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

The woman in the sidecar going around the village is just hilarious. By the way she (Sudha Chandran) fits the part well with her svengali makeup, heavy jewelery and zabardast attitude, that is in total reverse of a typical village woman-and that in itself is funny. Then we have probably the greatest comedy characters of the Indian Cinema-Paresh Rawal and Om Puri-the Laurel and Hardy of Hindi comedy. Just looking at these two brings a chuckle. Priyadarshan, is one of the few producers who understand comedy unlike these "Banchods of Bollywood" producing filthy toilet humor movies like "Delhi Belly" and "Three Idiots" which is demeaning to Indians and comedy at the expense of the Indians. These scum maggots donot represent India nor Indians and they should be kicked out of the industry and sent back to where they came from. This is a movie that has a subtle meaning behind the comedy. Few scenes are redundant like the dead Anthony ending up on the tree. Some of the subplots are too drawn out. I guess this is to satisfy the average movie goer in a village who wants paisa vasool and and an eyecandy "Item number" which in this context is provided by Rakhi Sawant. It would have been nice that if she were to be one of the charecteres in the village, instead of just an item. The movie is enjoyable-for the masses who are starved for good comedy.

Let's admit it, Bollywood can't really pull off a comedy - not since Andaaz Apna Apna have we seen a decent comedy make it to the silver screen. I'm sick of all these talentless newbies coming into the industry and appearing in "comedies" that are nothing but annoying screaming and complete idiocy.This movie though made me laugh right through. The chemistry between the main characters was fantastic and the acting was superb by the 3 main old dudes. Asrani was also FANTASTIC! The jokes, the reactions, etc were perfectly delivered. The story, although predictable, was a refreshing change and it never felt over cooked and the jokes stayed true to the story line.Good light hearted film!

A very nice comedy after a long time...free of nudity, vulgarity etc ... a complete family entertainer. A great theme making people laugh from the beginning till the end of the movie. Although the film has stars of the fame like The great comedy king Paresh Rawal, Om Puri, Asraani, Sudha Chandran, Ritesh, Shakti Kapoor etc but still the movie doesn't look cluttered with stars... Star of the Show is "Baaje" n "Leela" And unlike most of other comedy movies.. the end of Malamaal Weekly is still grasping and very very comic. A total Paisaa Wasool.... A bit overdoing on part of Ritesh.. But still a good Timepass. Do watch!!

This movie is worth watching- that is if you want the time to pass and if you're bored out of you're mind. It was quite humorous, but not very memorable. I think this movie would have been excellent if only it was cut about an hour or so, because it really did drag on.The characters were brilliantly casted, and the acting was very well rehearsed. But honestly, this movie isn't worth three hours of you're time. It's unique, because the whole plot isn't some sappy love story, but the again it really does DRAG ON.I'll say that one more time to make myself clear. This movie really does DRAG ON.Watch this if you're bored out of you're mind, and want to see something humorous, but not "memorable humorous." I mean, after the movie ends, you won't be like "Oh, ha-ha! I remember when so-and-so did that- classic!" You're reaction will more be like "huh. That was not too bad. What's for dinner?"
