CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

silvan-desouza They are some films which work due to big stars but Priyadarshan's MALAMAAL WEEKLY which had Paresh, Om Puri in main leads worked just on the popularity of Paresh and people who like Priyadarshan's comedyThe film is a remake of WAKING NED DIVINE(1998)The film has a good plot and the comedy is situational like HERA PHERI but the problem being the film drags in between and too many characters also the comedy at places is too crudeThe film otherwise follows 1 track throughout and doesn't break into dances.etc the romance is also non filmy The chaos that ensue due to the hidden lottery and many gags are hilarious The film keeps your attention most of the film only the film tends to drag here and there The climax also follows the typical Priyadarshan style where people chase othersDirection by Priyadarshan is good but his claiming that he wrote the script is faulty as the film is a remake of WAKING NED Music(only 1 song in the background) is okayParesh Rawal entertains though his new look is bad but yet he is good though nothing new Om Puri is good but hams at places Ritiesh though sidelined does a great job Reema Sen is okay Sudha Chandran is good Arbaaz Khan is good Asrani is as usual, loud and so is Shakti Kapoor and Rajpal Yadav the rest are okay

Shoopydoop 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!

Ashish Agrawal I really like the flow of movie. Because it shows all kinds of usual and unusual situations which might occur and how cunningly to handle them. The lesson I learn is "If you get something which is not your own then take it but not alone, also distribute among those who needs it". One more lesson "You one lie force you to speak thousand more lie". The whole movie revolves around the concept "Money can anybody blind". Movie involves people from village whose thinking is different from urban people. In village any sort of issue spread as fire but if the same movie involved urban people, story would be completely different.I appreciate way of showing the greediness on screen.

nomanali77 Something is wrong out there. The genre of comedy is not going through a very good phase in Bollywood. There was a time when a movie like "Malamaal Weekly" would have been very highly appreciated for its great slap-stick, nincompoop approach to humor. Unfortunately, a new wave of directors have set such high standards in film-making, scripting and screenplay, that an idiot-ride like the one under mention here cannot go unpunished.The heavy dosage of actors cannot save this film. In fact, they are just as much to blame in messing it up. Except, perhaps Ritesh Deshmukh, who gets better with his films. Let's go through the cast, one by one: Paresh Rawal: Plays Lilaram, the lottery ticket seller. Bad teeth, worse jokes. Not as annoying as he was in Garam Masala, but seems to be fading out on the comedy scene. A possible favorite of Priyadarshan, and no doubt a brilliant actor, but this director has worn him out. Give him something new to do.Om Puri: ballu, the milkman. Now, why is it that we see Om Puri, a great character artist of commercial and parallel cinema, doing comedy so often. i feel he has limited ability in comedy. he seems to be playing the same kind of character over and over again. Slightly temperamental, very opinionated, etc. Leave him to his serious roles.Rajpal Yadav: Nothing new ever comes out of him.Asrani: He's an "Angrezon ke zamane ka comedian". This generation needs something else to laugh.Shakti Kapoor: They're still offering him movies?? Innocent: Really famous comedian from South India, but I think his voice was dubbed by Tiku Talsania.Ritesh Deshmukh: The only decent performance in the movie. His scenes are the most bearable.Reema Sen: Plays the village belle. Wears make-up all the time.Arbaaz Khan: Confused and hurried as usual.I am not going to discuss the plot, but overall the movie was stretched beyond tolerance and the amount of characters that were there was completely unnecessary. If you want to watch an actually funny movie along the same lines, watch "Rat Race". I think "Malamaal Weekly" could've been inspired by that.
