Truly Dreadful Film

Such a frustrating disappointment

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Never seen a movie which endorses slapstick in all its elements, be it love, humor, marriage or relationships. Yamla Pagla Deewana is a very good entertainer if you keep your logical senses at home! From a critic's eyes, YPD is a poor movie with bad editing, bad direction, fishy music, long plot, huge running time (150 minutes) & a rather chunky screenplay filled with gaudy Punjabism.The actors have performed well, but the story goes haywire just before the intermission and after that, a comedy of errors is set out. Emotions outplay the climax with a clichéd ending. Farce is used at a very high rate & overall, this movie maybe a one-time watch but not a collector's taste.BOTTOM LINE: A jolly good entertainer but lacks cinema potential.Can be watched with a typical Indian family? YESLanguage: No | Alcohol: Critical | Smoking, Drugs: No | Violence: Strong | Gore: No | Sex, Nudity or Mouth-Kiss: No

To be honest,i am going to keep this short and simple. the first part of the film was funny but the second part was absolutely hilarious - it was legend.also if you love the Deols, this film is for you. always watch out for sunny Deol's parts because: in my view he was the best in the whole film A proper JATT always watch out for the fight scenes because at one point it is him against 50 goons with bats and pipes and when anyone would try to hit sunny - he wouldn't get hurt instead the bats and pipes would snap in half - LEGEND I LOVE IT and SO WOULD YOUAll together it is a great fun for the family because it is awesome

The contribution of the Deol family to Hindi Cinema is not to be underestimated. It gave the first Indian He-Man..Dharmendra who in his hey days used to consistently top polls listing him as the most handsome man in India. Even though he did not win popular Film awards, he is one of the kings of Hindi Cinema.His son Sunny carried on this tradition and has done his family proud.Even Bobby, the youngest son along with their sister Esha has jumped into the movie business.The film is a tribute to the three male Deols', without giving anything away..paying homage to the lost and found formula story our Hindi films. It captures emotion, good locales( Varanasi and good o'l Punjab) as well as tickling the funny bone.Specially, the second half, which brings the house down. The music is not bad and add to this a fresh female actor who does a competent job opposite Bobby. Anupam Kher is a scene- stealer.A word of caution, I saw this movie in a multiplex in a city in Southern India, so a major part of the jokes were a bit difficult to comprehend for the regional audience If you are a bit less informed and are not too familiar with this, ask a friend who is well versed to accompany you. Trust me, you will not regret it.Over all my rating is 6 / 10Enjoy !

I am energetic, happy and glad after watching 'Yamla Pagla Deewana'. Director Samir Karnik brings the 3 Deols together, with such an interesting story, that you fall in love with them. 'Yamla Pagla Deewana' is an out-and-out time-pass fare that entertains it's viewer. The First hour is good, but the Second hour is an absolute knock-out. After 'Dabangg' and 'G3', here comes an entertainer that is sure to be remembered!The writing is spot-on, which is filled with entertaining moments and awesome one-liners. Samir Karnik's direction is perfect. Cinematography is damn good. Stunts are excellent. The soundtrack is nice.Performance-Wise: Dharmendra, Sunny & Bobby are in terrific form. They play their parts with ease. Kulraj is decent. In the supporting cast, Anupam Kher, Mukul Dev, Sucheta Khanna, Puneet Issar and Johny Lever are simply superb. Emma Brown is passable. On the whole, A Fun Ride that deserves a watch. Go for the Deols! Thumbs Up!
