Review of Hungama

Hungama (2003)
3/10
Poor Comedy that relies on past hits of the same genre
18 August 2003
Warning: Spoilers
Hungama (meaning "Confusion" in Hindi) is a comedy of errors. The only problem is among all the errors, that the audience is left wondering where the comedy was. The acting is average, with the exception of Paresh Rawal, who still manages to bring a chuckle or two. The plot is too complex to keep track of and thus gets stale very quickly, the music is ... well... never mind the music.

It seems like the Hindi movie industry has run out of original ideas for comedy movies. While Hera Pheri, which was a similar movie, did have quite a few funny moments and had more originality, hungama is quite simply, a blind rip-off ... not in terms of the plot, but the comic-style.

Do not waste your time with this one. You are better off watching Andaz Apna Apna or Hera Pheri a second time.
