A Masterpiece!

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Why on earth did David Dhawan make such a nonsense? The film makes Haseena Maan Jayegi look like a classic. It's so stupid it makes you cringe Ajay Devgn after Singham returns with such a crap, while Sanjay Dutt too has done better comedy before, both are named Chetan and Bhagat(please!) The film has Kangana who is given her worst role ever It also has Arjun Rampal The comedy is so purile, so boring, so stupid that it makes you cringe DD also has scenes borrowed from his earlier films like a blind fake act scene from HMJ. Direction by David Dhawan is bad Music is badAmongst actors Ajay Devgn is never known much for his comedy timing and tries too hard but falters, Sanjay Dutt who is becoming a regular in such films gives a bad performance, being overweight too does him disservice Kangana annoys with her winny delivery Arjun Rampal is wasted, rest are nothing great

Im still not sure how I ended up seeing this movie, but here I am thinking of the film that stands next to Double Dhamaal as the worst of 2011. Seriously, it is that bad. Reasons? For One, there is hardly a plot, but old, cliché gimmicks to create a Partner feel in two Rascals story. Two? The cast themselves. Now we already know how Kangana has modeled herself on some western woeful pictures from day one, but Sanjay Dutt and Ajay Devgan is in way over their head. And worse still, someone like Arjun Rampal turns in for a very poor cameo. Lastly? Does it work? No. It does not. I don't care if people write reviews stating that a lot of reviewers won't admit they liked the picture. I absolutely hated it.I just want to say this has to be one of the worst movies I have ever seen. The character Kangana played, talks pure crap. Every word coming out of her mouth just seems to make me angry, because it sounds like she is trying really hard to sound cool and smart. She just unloads so much non-sense that it make watching the film torture.

David Dhawan directing a film called RASCALS with Sanjay Dutt and Ajay Devgan in comic roles was indeed a promising news. The promos looked good and few songs were also being noticed. But this was the scenario only before the release of the film and now after watching it I have a completely different story to tell quite sadly.In the past, David Dhawan has been accused many times of copying from both the Foreign as well as our own Indian movies. Plus he was also into using the double meaning dialogues and songs to win over his viewers in those successful years of films featuring Govinda and Karishma Kapoor. Unfortunately in his latest venture too, David doesn't move away from his same old overused path and continues to use both these formulas in RASCALS in a rather disappointing way.Firstly, writing his extremely weak storyline, the director and his writers take all their inspiration from an English Classic "Bedtime Story" (1964) which also revolves around two con-men trying to fool a rich lady and which was again remade as "Dirty Rotten Scoudrels" in 1988. Adding his own contribution in the script, David changes a wheel chair ridden imposter (in the Original films) into a fake blind man (Ajay Devgan) in RASCALS. But then later on strangely returns to the wheel chaired man again in the end as a loyal follower of the original. Interestingly this same plot and many similar sequences were earlier copied by Bollywood in three films namely, "Johar Mehmood in Hongkong" (1971), "Khel" (1992) and then partially in the famous "Andaz Apna Apna" (1994).Secondly this time, David goes even further in using the double meaning dialogues along with a lot of skin show by both Kangna and Lisa in the film. In fact, the sequences and dialogues used in these particular sequences even surpass all his previous films and can be easily termed as 'Vulgar', which usually work in the smaller centers. The film starts off well with a better first half but in the later reels it gives you many unwanted boring scenes like the one in the deserted church with Satish Kaushik. So, with very few enjoyable comedy sequences, RASCALS is not able to deliver as per the expectations raised by all the talented names in its team. David stumbles several times in his script and direction. Soundtrack only gives you few catchy double meaning raunchy numbers as usual. The ladies are only there to shed off their clothes just at the word "Go". The supporting cast continuously hams in their badly written roles. And the leading heroes tend to shout more than act in the whole film. Though both Ajay and Sanjay have successfully played many comical characters in their recent films, but the same cannot be said for RASCALS.In short David Dhawan's new madcap entertainer is surely mad but strictly not entertaining as per its promises made. But if you are really interested in con-men films then do watch both "Bedtime Story" and "Dirty Rotten Scoudrels" to know the difference in treatment given to the plot by their respective directors.

We went into this movie with the thought that this might actually turn out to be nice. The promos released were kind of attractive and showed that this might be a refreshing comedy. Sanjay Dutt and Ajay Devgn, not the biggest stars around but good actors nonetheless added to the hype and yet what we got was nothing but pure lame, pointless, idiotic and humor that doesn't do justice to its definition.This is one movie that you go in with the thought, 'These rascals might be entertaining' and come out with the thought, 'Was that entertainment? Bloody rascals!'David Dhawan has given us a number of comedy flicks in the past and most of them, more often than not have worked. This one doesn't come even close to being the best and doesn't come close to be called as good humor either!The story line doesn't make sense or in fact there isn't a story line at all!Heights of over acting are on display by all the three leads, namely, Ajay Devgn, Sanjay Dutt and Kangna Ranaut (who I personally hate as an actor).The movie opens with a set of 2D animations for the credit which was innovative yet pointless. Throughout the movie there is this constant rhyming going on dialogue after dialogue which we presume is to make them funny but are plain lame and don't came close to make them funny. The character names for Sanjay Dutt (Chetan) and Ajay Devgn (Bhagat) are supposed to in some way make some kind of mocking at Chetan Bhagat but I doubt it was anywhere near being successful in doing so.The plot too is stale and there is no twist whatsoever to catch your eye but well you can't expect that from an Indian comedy unless making light of poverty, charity, handicap or a sexed-up version of Andaz Apna Apna meets Jodi No 1 meets Deewana Mastana meets Bluffmaste is your idea of a joke, those laugh lines won't budge.Sadly, Bollywood comedies thrive on double meanings but that too has gotten so stale that it rarely brings a laugh. The fact is the over acting rises to heights that it doesn't appears that it is supposed to make you laugh! Throughout the movie, there were punches being delivered by the rascals on screen but they were so stale, so boring, and not even worth calling a PJ. The writer should be delivered all the punches back and in a different sense altogether!It made us laugh just once throughout the movie and that scene too wasn't as funny to leave a mark for I have been racking my brain to remember what it was and yet I fail!It made us laugh at another point though but it was not because of the on screen rascals, it was because of a couple of off screen rascals who were talking of breaking the LCD of the theater, yes 'THE LCD' when the sound went off for some reason. Those guys were funnier than the on screen rascals.Some of my friends can be funnier than these rascals!Coming to the acting bit, well I, on a personal level am a fan of Sanjay Dutt's work and Ajay Devgn has impressed in the last couple of movies but yet, as stated there has been too much of over acting and well, with a script like that, no one can make the movie funny in any way whatsoever. I won't talk about Kangna Ranaut for I hate her hence I might get a bit biased and a bit too negative. About Lisa Haydon or Hayden whatever her name is, she has been portrayed as a prostitute and that's her character! All in all, this is one movie that can easily give competition to Double Dhamaal which I had already presumed to be the worst comedy Bollywood movie of the year, but this one has surely given Double Dhamaal a strong competition. Even a no brainer should have some sort of sense and this one has nothing to offer!We give it a, I don't know, it might be a bit too much for the movie but still a 0.3/5 just for that scene which made me laugh and yet I fail to remember!In short, pure bullshit and a waste of time and money!
