Dhoom Dhadaka: Anupam Kher, Satish Shah, Satish Kaushik, Deepshika, Gulshan Grover, Arti Chhabra, Shama Sikandar, Jackie Shroff ; director : Shashi Ranjan

Two rival dons in Bangkok, slugging it out for a `tukda of zameen' in Alibag, Mumbai. Mungli Lal ( Anupam) wants to make a hospital there, Fursat Lala ( Gulshan) wants a casino and dance girls. Whoever produces a `waaris' will get the land, declares godfather Ganpat Rai ( Jackie).

‘Dhoom Dhadaka' stays faithful to its name from the first frame to the last, it careers from Bangkok to Mumbai, covering big and small `bhais', a Gujjubhai going by the name of , what else, Jignesh ( Satish Shah), a couple of muscle-bound lads, with two bimbos to match, a gumshoe called Johnny Inglis ( Satish Kaushik), and a sexed-up housewife named Rambha who never gets enough ( Deepshika).

Lewd jokes abound (parents, please note). There are references to size. It matters, intones one of the lads. And Viagra-like pills are flourished with abandon. Gulshan Grover wears pinks shirts. Anupam is resplendent in pastel capris. And Satish Shah displays a frightful wig.

To borrow a deathless line from the film, it goes limp, because it goes on and on. Like all somewhat tasteless, determinedly plotless capers of this kind, it would have done itself a kindness by finishing off half an hour before it does. It could have been funny, in a crass kind of way.
