How I spent Friday night, watching middle-aged wannabe Casanovas – Rascals



Take a Deewana Mastana story, twist it a bit so the third guy has a more active role in the film. Take two middle-aged leading men who have lost all sense of maturity, and throw them in with two young girls who are not afraid to strip down to their skivvies at the least provocation. Add lots of references to films past, gags using blind men, disabled men, and ethnic stereotypes, give up any pretense of having a coherent story or logic and you have a David Dhawan film in the 2000s.

Ajay Devgan drinks some Koffee with Karan



This was one of the more candid and refreshing episodes of KWK.  Having Ajay as a guest and hearing from the horse's mouth tidbits about his life was very interesting.  Ajay is media shy so this was a coup of sorts.  Fun episode.

Golmaal 3 reviews averaging 2.80/5


Taran Adarsh, Bollywood Hungama: 4 stars "ideal fun ride"

 Mayank Shekhar HT 1.5 stars "Shoddiness shows."


Nikhat Kazmi, TOI 3.5 stars "In an industry where sequels rarely work, the Golmaal franchise seems to have struck gold with its formula of making sense out of nonsense.  "


IANS  3 stars "Director Rohit Shetty tries his best in merging comic vignettes into one comprehensible film. "


Raja Sen, Rediff 1.5 stars "The best thing that can be said about Golmaal 3 is that it both enters and exits your system rather comprehensively, leaving behind nothing either memorable or of consequence."


Renuka Rao, DNA 3.5 stars "As expected (and promised), this film is all about wacky humour, well-timed farcical dialogues and brainless entertainment."


Sitendu Goswami, tellycafe.com 3 stars "The scene where the siblings threaten each other without saying a single word is a masterpiece in itself. "


Rajeev Masand, IBN 2 stars! "I’m going with two out of five for director Rohit Shetty’s Golmaal 3. This is pedestrian comedy that evokes desperate laughs. If you must, watch it for Mithun, who shows us he’s still got his mojo!"

Look who is Bollywood's new mommy, second time on though...it's the lady who was marketing her film We Are Family till sometime back and has now added a new addition to her own.

Dabangg Bollywood cops


  With Chulbul Pandey soon to grace our silver screens, I was just wondering how our Bollywood has been showing cops on screen. I know most of the times they are the ones coming in the end, doing nothing but putting already battered villain into ambulance, but then there have been few times when our heroes have donned the uniform, lets see how they have fared while being our protectors...
