Male Bonding Ka Dhamaal in Bollywood

There is some kind of trend started of late in Bollywood - "male bonding". Throw in some 3-4 friends and write a funny script around them. We have had Dil Chahta Hai, Jhankar Beats, Masti, No Entry, Fight Club (however pathetic it was), Golmaal, Life Mein Kabhi Kabhi, latest Heyy Babyy and forthcoming Dhol. These movies have their own appeal and cater to a good segment of audience. Also if you note there are certain actors who have more or less specialized in these part roles. It's good that they have realized they cannot shoulder the complete movie on their own so why not combine forces. Such names which come instantly to mind are Riteish Deshmukh, Arshad Warsi, Sharman Joshi, Tusshar Kapoor, Fardeen Khan and Aftaab Shivdasani.

Dhamaal, which releases this Friday, belongs to the same genre. Directed by Indra Kumar, the story goes something like this. Roy (Riteish Deshmukh), Manav (Javed Jaffrey), Adi (Arshad Warsi) and Boman (Ashish Choudhary) are four lovable idiots who live and con together. One day, while trying to save a dying man, Bose (Prem Chopra), they get their big break. They think their life is made but unfortunately for them, Police Inspector Kabir Nayak (Sanjay Dutt) has been chasing Bose for the last ten years. He finally finds him. Only dead! Desperate for his promotion, he questions the suspicious looking foursome he finds next to the body. Inadvertently they blurt out the secret before managing to escape. Now begins the mother of all chases! As one misadventure follows after another, the five are thrown into hilarious situations that has the audience in splits and guessing.

I hope Dhamaal is as hilarious as the promos promise to be!!!

My favorite in this genre is but of course Dil Chahta Hai. Which one is your favorite?
