CAST: Sanjay Dutt, Arshad Warsi, Riteish Deshmukh, Javed Jaffery, Ashish Chowdhary, Asrani

DIRECTOR: Indra Kumar

Four laybouts, one cop, and one irate Parsi: this motley lot is after loot hidden in a mysterious location in a Goan church, and Dhamaal all about the adventures they have on the way.

So in Indra Kumar's return to direction after a sizeable gap, this is what we get: Javed as an effective imbecile, Riteish as a getting-better-with-each-film comic, Ashish who is visible for the first time, and a strangely subdued Arshad, offset by a manically-charged Asrani: where does he get all that energy from, at his age?

Sanjay is the only big star here, and as befits big stars, he gets the biggest scenes and the lines, but on the whole, every one gets to partake in the whole-scale idiocy the plot unleashes, with zest.

The result is mindless fun, just right for those days you want to sack out in your seat, and laugh out loud once every few minutes.

Psst, this one has no girls. Indra Kumar pulls off an all-boys movie, keeping the female of the species strictly bound to the item numbers.
