Detail Analysis:



If it is a Shahrukh Khan release then excitement soars to new heights no matter what is the
 genre or what is the occasion. But after not so great spell in last few years at domestic 
box office, he teams up with director Rohit Shetty who has mastered box office, this 
excitement goes through the roof. On top of that Deepika Padukone adds brownie point 
after super successful YJHD.


Film has rather simple but interesting plot (and we will not reveal much as always been
 the case). Rahul (Shahrukh) goes on to a journey of his lifetime where he meets Meena
 (Deepika) and how his meeting with her changes his life completely. Tangaballi 
(Nikitin Dheer) who is good friend of Durgeshwara (Sathyaraj) puts forth every possible 
hurdle. But all the fun, song and dance make this journey an experience full of 
 entertainment or we say dhamaal!


Performance wise Shahrukh Khan excels and excels big time. His comic timing and aura
 simply lift the film to another level. If this is not his best comic performance then 
certainly one of the best. He is back as hero for masses and how! The way Shahrukh  
takes you as fun narrator through the film is hilarious in itself! Deepika surprises in 
every frame and she is real surprise package of the film. Her accent and comic timing 
are top notch. This is her 2nd big performance in 2013 after YJHD. Nikitin Dheer 
makes a mark with intense performance and so is veteran south actor Sathyaraj. 
Mukesh Tiwari and Kamini Kaushal fit the bill in brief roles. Also be ready for f
ew surprising supporting performances and cameos.



Music was not plus point before release but be assured that after watching it you will 
bound to change your opinion. Title song and "Titli" look best and positioned well. Vishal - 
Shekhar deserve all kudos for their work. Action always been a high point of Rohit SHetty 
 cinema and he doesn't disappoint you this time either. Watch out for post interval 
portion, two mind blowing sequences. Editing is one thing which keeps film so breezy 
that you hardly blink before its over. Cinematography is decent but not so 
overwhelming location leave you wanting for more.

 


But it is director Rohit Shett who keeps proceedings racy and his command over 
the right mix of entertainment makes this special. There is a song followed by super 
dialogue and then some nail biting action - take a bow masala king! This will be by 
far the best work of Rohit Shetty. 


Overall this is a film which belongs to distinct and lethal combo of Rohit Shetty and SRK. 
1st half is very comic an light hearted and at interval point when SRK - Deepika 
elope from Deepika's house, the fun begins. It has item song but that is not vulgar like 
many other films in same genre, it has comedy but not slapstick like many other films 
of same genre, it is entertaining but not as mindless as many other films in same genre. 
This is a complete entertainer and surely win the heart of masses. But film's success will be 
decided by how well classes take it and how much film sustains on weekdays.
