‘Total Dhamaal’ Mid-Ticket Review: First half of this Ajay Devgn-Anil Kapoor starrer is ‘Total Torture’

The first half of the much-awaited comedy drama ‘Total Dhamaal’ that is directed by Indra Kumar is a ‘Total Torture’. All the characters in the movie are either shown salivating with greed or shivering with fear. We do wonder if Indra Kumar has been swept away from the real plot of the film.

The movie starts with Ajay Devgn and Sanjay Mishra looting a police commissioner (Boman Irani). The total sum is of Rs. 50 crore and in the ensuing drama it gets lost. Ultimately, all the eight characters of the movie are seen chasing the booty. The acting is as pedestrian (and annoyingly loud) as Indra Kumar’s sense of humour. The background score is equally horrendous and ensures that you can’t even get a few minutes of early morning sleep just so that enduring the ordeal becomes bearable.

Yes, we can understand that it’s a leave-your-brains-at-home kind of a movie but Ajay Devgn falling off a skyscraper and escaping unhurt is a pure insult to the intelligence of viewers. We are not looking forward to the second half at all.
