Hi Friends,
Hungama 2 marks the Priyadarshan's comeback to Hindi movies along with Shilpa Shetty who also came back to Hindi cinema after many years. The movie is based on the Minnaram which is a Priyadarshan movie released in 1994 in the Malayalam language. The movie stars Paresh Rawal, Shilpa Shetty, Ashutosh Rana, Pranitha Subhash, Meezaan Jafri, Rajpal Yadav, Tiku Talsania, Manoj Joshi, Akshaye Khanna, Raman Trikha and many little kids. Venus Worldwide Entertainment company produced Hungama 2 and it was really great to see the names of Ratan Jain, Ganesh Jain, Chetan Jain and Armaan Ventures.
The movie is directed by Priyadarshan and the story is also written by him. The movie was released on 23-Jul-2021 on the Disney+ Hotstar OTT platform. The movie also has the famous hit Chura Ke Dil Mera Song from Main Khiladi Tu Anari recreated especially for this movie. Anu Malik composed the music for this movie and lyrics were written by Sameer and Rani Malik. The song is picturised really nicely and is the main attraction of the movie. The movie brings back the whole team of character actors you must have seen in other Priyadarshan movies.
The story revolved around a family run by the grandfather Ashutosh Rana character as Colonel Govind Kapoor who has 2 sons and a daughter. Sons are played by Meezaan Jafri as Aakash Kapoor and Raman Trikha as Aman Kapoor and Naira Shah as Preeti. There are some 4 kids who live with their grandfather and calls him Junglee Bail and are really naughty kids bringing in much pain for all their teachers played by Johnny Lever as Tutor Gagan Chandra D'Costa and other family members. Pranitha Subhash as Vani Kapoor enters the home with one small girl and claims that this is the child of Aakash Kapoor with whom she fell in love during the college days and the baby is from those times. Meanwhile, Col Govind has already promised the hand of Aakash for Manoj Joshi's daughter. The whole family now tries to find the real father of the daughter meanwhile no one trusting Aakash leading to a lot of situational comedy along with his engagement ceremonies thrown in. Slowly and steadily, Vaani captures the hearts of all the small kids and other family members and all of them sides with her as compared to Aakash.
Paresh Rawal plays Advocate Radhey Shyam Tiwari and his wife Anjali Tiwari is played by Shilpa Shetty. He is very possessive about his wife leading to a lot of misunderstanding that keeps on going till the end of the movie. He thinks that Aakash is having an extra-marital affair with Anjali and tries to protect his wife from him at all costs. The whole sequences of Paresh Rawal are really amazingly funny and make this movie worth watching. Rajpal Yadav has played Popat Jamal character who works in the canteen in the college where Aakash and Vaani used to study. Aakash uses him to get rid of Vaani and the same gets caught by Col Kapoor. Tiku Talsania as Cook Ojasram Nandan has played his role just like he used to play in all his movies in his career but it was good to see him back.
Pranitha looks really beautiful and her character has been picturised as a mysterious one whose real intentions are not shown till the end of the movie. Meezaan has yelled in the whole movie which gets your nerves really high and is unbearable to watch. The same can be said about Ashutosh Rana's character as well as Manoj Joshi's character of Manasvit G. Bajaj which keeps yelling throughout the movie. The movie fully belongs to Paresh Rawal who has done his acting superbly and you will feel the pain he is going through.
Overall, Hungama2 is a movie you can watch with your whole family and is a family entertainer with a few mysterious spices added to the situational comedy. If you can go through the pain of yelling and loud dialogues from some of the characters, then you can enjoy the movie which has all the flavours Priyadarshan movie brings to the cinema. This movie really feels like coming out from the past and brings back all the memories of my childhood/adulthood when Priyadarshan movies used to be the talk of the town. Watch it to live your childhood memories! RATING 2.5/5
Cheers!!!
