Umesh Shukla is a zany filmmaker & 'Dhoondte Reh Jaoge' proves that.'Dhoondte Reh Jaoge' is about two-good-for-nothing guys who plan to make a Flop film. A unique & crazy idea! Some jokes are so so funny that you get into a full-throated roar! While some are like Akshay Kumar's comedy films, completely bland.The first hr is entertaining, the second is not. It picks up in The pre-climax, when the premiere takes place... it's hilarious! Especially the so-done Lagaan portion. The climax, however, leaves no impact. But I don't know why, I get a strong feeling that this film will gain a Cult following in the coming years.Performance wise, Paresh Rawal & Johny Lever rule the show, with their impeccable comic-timing. Both are superb. Kunal Khemu is lovable. The highly-talented guy isn't getting his due. Right from his childhood days to now, his acting has always been super. Sadly, none of his films have done well, and neither has made a huge fan-base. Let's hope he gets what he deserves in the coming time. Sonu Sood is passable. Soha Ali Khan is, as usual, dull. Dilip Joshi stands out. Shabbir Ahmed is excellent in a cameo.This is surely not a good film, but much better than the crap going on right now.

Anand Pawar , a born loser , and a naive ,middle-class working man , with faltering speech , to add to the woes , loves Neha; she aspires to be an actress one day , but presently ,is nothing more than an ordinary girl next door . Raj ,on the other hand , is a cunning , slimy producer , who has to play tricks to get his story accepted , and even shop lift clothes , for appearing decent . Kunal Khemu , Soha Ali Khan , and Paresh Rawal , in the lead roles of this movie , are supposed to entertain us , along with the medley of a bunch of crazy characters , who pop up as per the need of the hour . Lifted , of course from Hollywood , that is the idea of making a flop film , Dhoodate Reh Jaoge manages to evoke a few funny situations , but fizzles out in the end , with crowds in the theater going in a frenzy , supposedly with the comic situations in the film , and the funny takes on the Bollywood block busters . The director , the script writer , and the actors ,too , are at a loss to give a fitting climax to this otherwise good attempt to produce some thing different than the usual formula films , in it's climax , which ends on rather unbelievable ,goody goody acts and dialogs , like Aryan handing over Neha , which he looked after as Anand's security deposit , and Neha running in his arms ,in a full bridal costume , like a fancy dress competition ! Sood never changes his expressions throughout the movie ! Soha's attempt at dancing like Urmila ,is casual , and confirms that she can't dance ,for heaven's sake ! Paresh has started to show signs of his advancing age , and his flirting stints as well as some vulgar actions and dance , smack of overacting , unacceptable . Amongst all , kunal is good , and surprisingly , natural . Hero's duplicates idea and playing on their physical handicaps is stretched to the limits , and makes it pathetic instead of funny. Some how , the movie comes across as a childish sort of a presentation , with every thing carried out in a casual manner , specially the Press conference scene , investors handing over money etc. Today's Bollywood has come a long way from all the situations shown here , and a very vibrant and sleek industry , in spite of the heap of garbage it produces , by spending in crores of rupees every year !Nevertheless , this could be termed as a good effort at making fun of our big time productions , but sadly , it wasn't done seriously enough , to throw a well-aimed snow ball , and initiate fun , at the expense of the stalwarts. Nako Nako number is well taken , and Kunal has danced with ease . Want to pass some time without bothering for the money you spent , better watch it on Video than in a theater , a little patience is required ,to sit through till the climax , going flop towards the end ! i have given it a six , because it's quite funny in the first half , and the tempo was quite smooth . Must mention Johny Lever , who leaves us yearning for seeing his old self ; Tolerable , but not that hilarious like his other movies . Like to watch odds ? Then go for it !
