A bunch of madcaps chase their tails in Goa from the first frame to the last. Rohit Shetty discovered his winning formula with ‘Golmaal’, kept it up with last year’s Diwali hit, ‘Golmaal Returns’, and is back with ‘All The Best’, with some old faces, and some new ones. And though, ‘All The Best’ is not as certifiably crazy as the others, there are enough loony tunes to be keep the laughs going.

Ajay Devgn, who’s taken off the ‘a’ from his surname for luck, smartly turns to comedy in his latest production (‘Raju Chacha’ and ‘You Me Aur Hum’ were box office duds), because that is something he does as well as intensity. Here he plays Fardeen’s friend, and Bipasha’s boy-friend. Fardeen’s girl is Mugdha, but he has to pretend that Bips is the love of his life, to keep big brother Sanjay in good humour.

Actually, it doesn’t really matter about who loves whom, because ‘All The Best’ cheerfully sacrifices all pretence of sense to ensure the gags are rapid fire. Several Shetty regulars (Johnny Lever, Asrani) show up to keep the foursome company. Devgn is the best of the lot, and his scenes with Dutt have a lot more charge than the ones he has with Bipasha, who doesn’t display as much comic prowess as cleavage. Mugdha shows she can be surprisingly successfully batty. Everyone else is suitably asinine. `All The Best’ gives you exactly what it sets out to-- light-hearted brainlessness.
