Warning: Spoilers
David Dhawan is known for making comedies, though he started off with action films like Taaqatwar, Aag Ka Gola he shifted to socials with Swarg(1990) but got success with comedies, from Shola Aur Shabnam, Bol Radha Bol(1992). Don't expect logic in his films just entertainment. Another aspect he has made many films on is double roles,mostly creating confusion. Bol Radha Bol involves around a scam where a mistaken identity purposely replaces the original. The first half focuses more on love story between Rishi and Juhi which does have it's funny moments but it's the second half when the real confusion takes place, which mostly happened in 90s. The film also has some stupid scenes like Kader Khan's character who goes blind after 6'0 clock in evening but that was all forgiven in such films those days. The film released in 1992 when Rishi had another hit Deewana, in both films Sushma Seth plays his mother.Rishi Kapoor however by this time was around in his 40s and he was putting on lot of weight, looking misfit to play a romantic hero yet he went on playing a romantic hero even in late 90s. Direction by David Dhawan is good Music is good, Tu Tu Tu Tu Tu Tara became very famous, title song too is good

Rishi Kapoor plays both the roles superbly, proving yet again that he is a fantastic performer, though his weight worked against him Also the SFX between both is downer, but that is forgiven for a 90s film Juhi plays her part well, as the gaon ki gori who later changes her style to fool Tony. Kader Khan is hilarious in his role which may not be sensible, but he always played such crazy characters. Alok Nath in a negative role is superb, Mohinish Behl is also as usual Sushma Seth is her usual self, Kiran Kumar is as usual, Shakti Kapoor proves some funny moments The rest including Arun Bali, Tiku Talsania and rest are okay

Tiku Talsania,
