Review
Jamana das Orphanage is an Ashram that is maintained by two brothers, Joy and Roy. One of the brothers holds the opinion that a child’s future is determined by upbringing more than just their blood relationship. He splits apart two sets of identical twins in order to prove this hypothesis, which sparks confusion.
Surprisingly, the new parents of the rearranged pair of infants choose to name their children Roy and Joy. Roy One is the Electric Man. Roy Two always gets shocked when Roy One touches the wire.
Talking about the movie, with the Golmaal series, Rohit Shetty has repeatedly shown that he is a master of creating good comedy. This time he highly disappoints his audience. In the attempt to create a chaotic comedy, the filmmaker ends up making a mess. The movie’s dialogues fall flat and one can not even force- a laugh on them. Only a few instances make you laugh out loud; otherwise, the whole movie is like a bland meal; which just looks fancy but tastes nothing.
Regarding the star performances, this multi-star movie boasts a fantastic star cast that includes talented performers like Johny Lever, Siddhartha Jadav, and Sanjay Mishra, among others. However, it appears that Rohit Shetty has forgotten to put the skill to use.
When it comes to the main lead of the film, Ranveer Singh is an unmitigated letdown. When utilized properly, Ranveer is a talented actor who has enormous potential, but it seems like he is a big misfit for a Rohit Shetty comedy.
Varun Sharma doesn’t try anything new, which is often preferable than overacting or doing too much. He is a good talent but his dialogues are so lame that even a kid seating next to me in the theatre, doesn’t laugh.
Although Pooja Hegde has a small role, she is bearable. I still don’t get why Jacqueline is in the movie, She doesn’t do anything that advances the story or the humour. Her presence in the film is quite avoidable.
To be honest, the supporting cast of the film is the only thing that has a chance of keeping everyone interested till the very end. This movie’s true star is Sanjay Mishra. He displays his true talent in the movie by playing Jacqueline’s father. Despite lousy writing, he succeeds in making the audience laugh with his facial expressions and dialogue delivery. Even Siddhartha Jadhav, Vrajesh Hirjee, and Johnny Lever are deserving of praise.
Coming on to the film’s music and background score. Rohit Shetty’s film has a very particular background score, which he uses in his comedy films. This time as well the technical team has used the exact same soundtrack which is okay. The songs of the movie are totally forgettable except Deepika’s Current Laga song. It is a nice track which makes you want to groove.
Looking at the Technical aspects of the film, the CGI and VFX are poorly done. The script of the film needs major editing and some good jokes to make the movie palatable.
Conclusion
There is nothing outstanding about the film, which disappoints audiences. Instead of cribbing in the theatre, I would much rather rest and relax at home.
