WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Wyatt There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Rawal Afzal This is one of the ever green films and hugely popular in our family, inasmuch that even my father, who in his entire life mustn't have watched more than 30-40 films, loves it to bits and never misses it if he ever catches a TV channel showing it, it without a shadow of doubt being his all-time favourite comedy film. So I had arranged this for myself just to re-live those childhood memories, those moments when it used to make me laugh for even hours afterwards. There're no two ways about the fact that I fully enjoyed it again, although I'm not too well right now and lack of concentration has been a big issue for me of late.There are different kinds of comedy films, from which of one kind are those that are based on funny dialogues and scenes, and then those which completely thrive the set of misunderstandings that are built from the first part of the film to the climax. 'Hungama' falls into the latter category, and in what a tremendous way it qualifies for that category! The misunderstandings are so many and they come in so many different forms that one even feels slight bit of sympathy for Mr. Tiwari; from an affair it escalates into having a son from another marriage to a daughter from another marriage!Some scenes are so so ridiculously funny and outrageous that the whole imagination captures the comedy, like the scene of being caught in the bushes, to seeing his wife's supposed boyfriend look around in the house for his wife and even boldly asking where she is, to Jeetu asking Mr. Tiwari to hand over his wife to him with, of course, his 'aashirvaad'. So it's a brilliantly made film and must go down as amongst Priyadarshan's finest works. It is a Bollywood classic that I don't think will ever get old.

namashi_1 Priyadarshan is widely known for his Comedy Flicks. 'Hera Pheri' is a cult classic, while 'Hulchul' & 'Malamaal Weekly', also gained a following. 'Hungama', is a yet another winning comedy from the talented filmmaker. It's Loud and Funny! It's long, but interesting at the same time.I had watched 'Hungama' during it's release, way back in 2003, and I enjoyed it. Sure, I found it outrageous, but I remember laughing loudly at a few portions. Over the years, when-ever I re-visit this comedy, It still manages to hold my attention, despite it's visible flaws.'Hungama' is the story of a bunch of misfits whose misconception about each others backgrounds end up in a series of chaotic, yet comic outcomes.An adaptation of Priyadarshan's 1984 Malayalam film 'Poochakkoru Mookkuthi', 'Hungama' is mostly an engaging fare, thanks to it's interesting and progressive screenplay, that comes in-tact with memorable dialogue and winning performances by it's talented star cast. But, the writing in the second hour, trends to drag a bit. And some portions, are loud. The climax is over-the-top, but it's funny nonetheless.Priyadarshan's direction is good. Cinematography & Editing are fair. Songs are fairly okay. Performance-Wise: Paresh Rawal is impeccable. The legendary actor plays his part with unmatchable ease. Akshaye Khanna gets it right, as always. Aftab does deliver in some portions, while Rimi Sen is ordinary. Shoma Anand is amusing. Shakti Kapoor & Tiku Talsania are superb, and bring in a host of laughs. Manoj Joshi, Rajpal Yadav, Sanjay Narvekar & Razzak Khan are funny as well.On the whole, 'Hungama' is meant for those who love Haha fares. Thumbs Up!

moviesaremypassion I watched this movie because I'm an Akshaye Khanna nut. Although I was sad to see he wasn't in more scenes, clearly it's better to have a supporting role (with top billing!) in a good film than the lead in a bad one.The plot of this story has so many twists and turns that whomever wrote it should get a literary award. The way the characters are linked together is truly clever and hilarious. I think this movie is 10 times funnier than Hera Pheri.And, none of the actors disappoint! How great is that?Very entertaining. 9 out of 10

jungleking Hungama can easily be dubbed as India's answer to the 'Comedy of Errors'. It works out really well when you do not expect a lot out of a movie and coming out thinking - yeah that was great. That is the case with this one. The cast were not all that appealing and the songs were passable - so when I actually got to watch the movie it made me sit up and realize that maybe bollywood could do comedy and did indeed have a sense of timing and humor. The confusion or chaos revolves the name Anjali - it is the name of a prominent businessmans (Paresh Rawal) wife and also the name of a girl on the run from her past trying to make it in Mumbai (Rimi Sen). There are then a handful of characters that cross their paths and it inadvertently causes a lot of confusion. There is not enough space here to go into them, so its better to go and watch the movie.On the acting side the show stealer is Paresh Rawal. He is excellent in this movie - it will have to be said that he is on par if not better then Johnny Lever nowadays, if not better. The two main leads Akshaye and Aftab also were terrific with a good change to see the later doing some good acting. Rimi Sen is good and fits into the story well. The rest of the support cast (and there are plenty of them) are well balanced and compliment the story well.The two backbone characteristics of the movie namely the script and music would have my mixed views. The story is excellent. But the music left something to be desired.Overall its one of those movies you would watch when you just want to have fun.
