Darwaaza Bandh Rakho

Cast: Aftaab Shivdasani, Chunkey Pandey, Zakhir Hussain, Snehal Dabhi, Isha Sharvani, Gulshan Grover, Kota Srinivas Rao and many more…

Music: Now that I recollect, there are no songs in the movie
Comedy: Out and out comedy film but quality of humor not that great
Tragedy: Zilch

J.D Chekravarthy (another name change...Formerly J.D Chakravarthy) of Satya fame comes up with a well woven plot and has picked up good actors for the different roles. The story and incidents about how things keep going bad for a motley gang of four when they kidnap a millionaire builder Raheja’s daughter and choose a bankrupt gujju'stock broker's house is entertaining. The comical thread is very good and some of the jokes and dialogues are sure to have the audience in splits.
The problem with the movie is that though the train of incidents, the jokes and the performances are pretty good nothing stands out as exceptional. Telugu audience would find Kota Srinivas Rao’s performance hilarious. On a different note, the door bell does stand out in the movie as it is heard in alternation with every dialogue throughout in the movie.
The sequence in which the number of hostages held captive by the gang to avoid the kidnapping from coming to light is one of the attractions of the movie. Chakry does not go overboard with the comical element and there is nothing that would classify as slapstick but if compared with the recently released Golmaal then the movie does look a bit pale.
What lets the movie down is the hype in the initial promos of it being an “Edge of the seat” comedy. There is good comedy in the film but not really an edge of the seat laugh riot.
The good thing is that the movie is short so is light on your mental bandwidth and does serve the purpose of giving you a relived and fresh mind once you are done watching it.
