The fourth installment of the Dhamaal franchise is now out in theatres. Let’s see how the movie is.

Story:

Dhamaal 4 revolves around the hunt for Shaitaan Singh’s century-old hidden fortune, with multiple gangs competing to get their hands on the treasure. Prithvi (Upendra Limaye) is the only person who knows the details of the map leading to the treasure. Pirate leader Adhoora (Ravi Kishan) relentlessly pursues Prithvi to get hold of the wealth. Guddu (Ajay Devgn), Adi (Arshad Warsi), Manav (Jaaved Jaaferi), Lallan (Riteish Deshmukh), Paaro (Anjali Anand), and Rosy (Sanjeeda Sheikh) also join the race in a bid to become billionaires, leading to chaos and a series of messy situations.

Plus Points:

The first half of Dhamaal 4 is entertaining despite the story not offering anything fresh. From the trailer, it was obvious that the movie would be a madcap ride with no logic, and the first hour fairly holds the attention.

There are multiple episodes in first half that generate a good amount of fun. Especially, the pre-interval sequence where all the lead characters hold onto a cliff discussing the treasure is quite nicely presented. Jaaved Jaaferi unintentionally injuring Sanjeeda Sheikh every time evokes laughs.

Ajay Devgn and Sanjay Mishra’s ghost encounter is also neat. The performances of all the artists are fine. Ajay Devgn, Riteish Deshmukh, and Anjali Anand stand out among the rest with their impressive portrayals.

Minus Points:

The second half, however, couldn’t maintain the same momentum. Here, the movie leans more towards the adventure and treasure hunt aspects, and the comedy quotient takes a beating. There are very few fun-inducing moments, and even those don’t land as expected.

As the film progresses, we get the feeling that it is running out of steam. The treasure hunt episodes are barely exciting, and the script needed more interesting moments during this particular phase to hold the movie together.

As the writing isn’t sharp, predictability kicks in, and the pacing also slows down in the latter half. Certain moments seem repetitive, and the movie could have benefited from better songs.

Technical Aspects:

The recreation of the Italian song Bella Ciao is nice, but the other songs aren’t catchy. The background score is quirky and suits the film’s mood. Sudhir Kumar Chaudhary’s cinematography is effective.

The VFX is partly good, but in some scenes, the green screen effect is visible. Indra Kumar’s direction is just okay. Had the second half been handled better, the movie could have been thoroughly captivating. The slight emotional touch in the climax is decent.

Verdict:

On the whole, Dhamaal 4 is an okayish comedy drama that has its share of fun moments. The film begins well with entertaining segments in the first half, but post the halfway mark, the proceedings lose grip, and it ends on a flat note. There are some episodes that cater to family audiences, and the lead actors perform well. However, one wishes the dosage of madness had been higher, given what the franchise is known for.

Story:

In the Delhi court, Jagadishwar Mishra alias Jolly (Akshay Kumar) and Jagadish Tyagi alias Jolly (Arshad Warsi) keep fighting with each other. They go up against Imperial Group head Haribhai Khetani (Gajraj) in a case filed by a woman farmer. Who actually took up this case? What challenges did they face while fighting against Haribhai Khetani? And who ultimately won the case? This forms part of the crux of the film.

Plus Points:

Among the courtroom dramas, Jolly LLB has a solid craze among the audience. The first two films impressed audiences with their good content and performances. The third part also features solid portrayals by Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi. It’s so good to see two Jollys in a single film, and the actors have killed it with their performances.

The film neatly shows how some corporate companies illegally occupy farmers’ lands and the hardships farmers endure after losing them, with a lot of detail given to this aspect. The first half is totally filled with fights between the two heroes to outdo each other, and they work to an extent.

But after taking up the case, the film turns into a serious mode, and the proceedings that come after that are neatly executed. The background score is in line with the film’s storyline and is impressive. Gajraj Rao shines in his role. Saurabh Shukla, who has been part of this franchise, captivates once again with his performance. His portrayal as a judge is the soul of Jolly LLB 3.

Minus Points:

Jolly LLB 3 might not impress those who liked the first two parts. Both those films had solid courtroom drama, but Jolly LLB 3 has fewer court scenes. The film mostly revolves around the main problem it deals with, and it becomes somewhat monotonous after a point.

Though the third part features two heroes, it is Saurabh Shukla who steals the show with his strong performance, which may disappoint fans of the stars. Akshay’s role is fine, but Arshad Warsi’s part could have been written much better. The others don’t get much scope.

The director took more time to get to the point, and this might bore the audience. When the second half is going in a serious mode, the insertion of unwanted comedy tracks breaks the momentum. Hence, we don’t feel the impact of an emotional song. The climax also falls short.

Technical Aspects:

The story chosen isn’t anything new, so there isn’t much excitement. Since the story is routine, the director should have designed the screenplay in a better way. There are many lag moments in the proceedings. The songs are just okay, while the background score is good. Editing is below par, and the production values are good.

Verdict:

On the whole, Jolly LLB 3 doesn’t create the same impact as its predecessors. Akshay Kumar, Arshad Warsi, and Saurabh Shukla give good performances, and the court scenes are engaging. However, the weak writing, lack of exciting elements in the story, and the dragged sequences are major drawbacks. Fans of courtroom dramas and the Jolly LLB franchise are advised to watch it by keeping their expectations in check.
