After having the audience in splits with 2007 hit film Dhamaal, the comical five some of Riteish Deshmukh, Jaaved Jaffery, Arshad Warsi, Ashish Chaudhary and Sanjay Dutt are returning with a double dose of entertainment in the sequel Double Dhamaal, releasing on Friday (June 24).
Directed by Indra Kumar, the movie co-produced by Reliance Entertainment and Maruti International, has new additions to the cast - Kangana Ranaut and Mallika Sherawat.
The story of Double Dhamaal starts where it ended in Dhamaal, when they donate all the money that they had acquired. The four good for nothing jokers -- Roy (Riteish ), Manav (Jaaved), Adi (Arshad) and Boman (Aashish Chowdhary) -- still dream of a good life where they would get everything without doing anything.
Enter their old arch-nemesis and corrupt inspector Kabir (Sanjay), who is no longer a cop and is now leading a luxurious life. He drives a Mercedes, has a posh office and lives in a villa. After seeing all the comfort and luxury in Kabir's life, Roy, Manav, Adi and Boman feel jealous and decide come what may, they will share his fortune.
However, they are unaware that their quest to turn their dreams into a reality would become a nightmare as Kabir has his own agenda, only shared by his wife Kamini (Mallika Sherawat) and his sister Kiya (Kangana Ranaut).
Made at a budget of Rs.35 crore, the film has been shot in Mauritius, Hong Kong and Mumbai and promises to be a rib-tickling comedy. Another highlight of the movie is that after "Munni" and "Sheila", sultry Mallika will be seen giving competition to Malaika Arora Khan and Katrina Kaif as Jalebi Bai with her item song.
The makers have also bought the rights of the hit song of Oye Oye from the 1989 action film Tridev and remixed it to suit the GenNext audience. The music of the film is given by composer Anand Raj Anand.
The other highlight of the film is said to be Ashish, who dons the garb of a woman and even learnt how to behave like one for the role. And it was Riteish, who demonstrated catwalk skills to Ashish and gave him a lot of tips which helped in his performance. Riteish had played a woman in Apna Sapna Money Money.
Ashish will show his 'adaas' and 'nakhras' as a girl while seducing Sanjay in the movie.
The shooting of the film, however, proved to be quite painful for Jaaved as he fractured his leg on the sets and had to be admitted to a hospital. As a result the director had to alter the final scene of the film.
The film is set for a worldwide premiere at the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) awards function to be held next week in Toronto.
Whether the sequel will be able to repeat the success of the 2007 film Dhamaal is yet to be seen.
Boxoffice Prediction;
The films trailer has created a lot of buzz in the industry and expectation was very high from the movie but due to the madness of Ready all around it did lose out on the hype proportion to some extent. From all angle the film is expected to make an impact on the film's opening which instead of being very good to excellent around 70% occupancy level, which is approximately 25cr in the weekends, taking 1000 print release, now the business around 55-60% in around 19cr weekends. The first day should be around 5.5cr-6cr mark. But if it offers a good content , then it may reach 22cr mark.
The movie Budget is around 35 cr (including P&P), required to do business around 60cr mark in Indian boxoffice to get a hit status, all will clear in few days.
