Definitely one of the funniest movie I have seen in a long time. One thing leading to another in a village full of uneducated people.Paresh Rawal is undoubtedly one of Bollywood's finest and best actors when it comes to essaying such character driven roles as the greedy lottery ticket salesman he plays in Malamaal Weekly. It's almost hard to believe that it's the same guy who played the guru cultist in 'No Smoking' and then the suave lawyer , he is just too good. Om Puri, Paresh Rawal, Ritesh Deshmukh, Rajpal Yadav and Seema Biswas are all in their element as they round out the cast in supporting roles. I really liked this film and I recommend it to others.In the city of the blind, the one eyed man is king.

Let's admit it, Bollywood can't really pull off a comedy - not since Andaaz Apna Apna have we seen a decent comedy make it to the silver screen. I'm sick of all these talentless newbies coming into the industry and appearing in "comedies" that are nothing but annoying screaming and complete idiocy.This movie though made me laugh right through. The chemistry between the main characters was fantastic and the acting was superb by the 3 main old dudes. Asrani was also FANTASTIC! The jokes, the reactions, etc were perfectly delivered. The story, although predictable, was a refreshing change and it never felt over cooked and the jokes stayed true to the story line.Good light hearted film!

A very nice comedy after a long time...free of nudity, vulgarity etc ... a complete family entertainer. A great theme making people laugh from the beginning till the end of the movie. Although the film has stars of the fame like The great comedy king Paresh Rawal, Om Puri, Asraani, Sudha Chandran, Ritesh, Shakti Kapoor etc but still the movie doesn't look cluttered with stars... Star of the Show is "Baaje" n "Leela" And unlike most of other comedy movies.. the end of Malamaal Weekly is still grasping and very very comic. A total Paisaa Wasool.... A bit overdoing on part of Ritesh.. But still a good Timepass. Do watch!!

I must admit i really went into this movie with a lot of expectations and trust me thats not the only reason i found this movie to be bad.For starters this movie is the remake (and a pathetic one) of the British film "Waking Ned Devine" which i saw years ago and was an utterly delightful movie that captured the essence of the English countryside.As such this movie follows the same themes although the movie claim that the village is small consisting of 100-150 khidkis (homes) is not evident anywhere i must have seen at least that many or more people in this film. Also the false picture or racial mixture in the village was to hard to digest (a bloody drunk anthony in a small village in India talk about rubbish stereotypes and in fact there is more than one anthony in the same village wtf).You cannot emphasize how many absurdities this movie has that are hard to digest even for a comedy. Seriously after Hera Pheri its all been downhill for priyadarshan.Also what the hell is it with him and connected people it wasn't funny in hungama and its definitely not funny here.The only reason this movie gets a 4 is because the acting is top notch and the cast of main actors do a great job i keep repeating it but i feel ritesh deshmukh has a bright future playing the average joe guy due his bad looks and good acting(lets not forget his politician father).Also there are some genuinely funny scenes in the movie but this movie lacks any genuine original humour.All in a movie making disaster but can be watched due to top notch performances of the actors and some genuinely funny scenes.Watch it in the matinée or television debut though.(not wasting 200 bucks to watch it an inox)
