EXCLUSIVE REVIEW BY HANUMANT BHANSALI
Buddha Mar Gaya, directed by Rahul Rawail is touted to be a mindless comedy. Though, it justifies the term mindless, it lays a lot of unwanted scenarios to be called as a comedy. The film gathers a bunch of starlets from the film industry including comic heroes like Paresh Rawal, Anupam Kher, Om Puri and Ranvir Shorey.
The treatment of Buddha Mar Gaya will manage to titillate the front bench audience. The old brigade of creative filmmaking team successfully presents a disastrous comic affair through Buddha Mar Gaya.
The film talks about money and its side effects. Laxmikant Kabadiya (Anupam Kher) is a business tycoon, whose company is on the verge of a Rs 5000 crore Initial Public Offering (IPO). The IPO would make LK’s company one of the largest business houses in the country.
As the plot had to move forward, LK dies a night before the IPO opens. This leads to series of erroneous events, ignited by Vidyuth Baba (Om Puri), who advices LK’s family to hide his death for the next two days, after which the shares would be sold.
In the process of hiding LK’s death, the family undergoes a lot of dramatic events, which fail to keep the audience in splits.
The film is strongly avoidable for the families, though the youth may have a laugh at some of the jokes on adultery. Buddha Mar Gaya is the best example of witnessing the industry’s best falling prey to a disastrous script and direction.
Director Rahul Rawail should be dumped into one of the innumerable loopholes present in the ‘black comedy’. The screenplay is far from gripping and dialogues are even worse. The script is so loose that even a 10 year old kid can identify the loose ends in the story. The 100 minutes film is worsened by the irritating background score.
Anupam Kher, as a corpse walks away with grace. Paresh Rawal’s talent is wasted as a result of poor dialogues. Om Puri is good. Ranvir Shorey is strictly okay. Rakhi Sawant exposes and titillates the audience to the core. The other actors fail to impress with their loud body language.
Avoid watching this film as you are bound to ‘die watching’ it. Buddha Mar Gaya promises to make you sulk, for sure.
