Storyline After losing a huge sum to a police officer, Kabir Nayak; four slackers: Aditya Shrivastav, Boman Contractor, Manav Shrivastav and Deshbandhu Roy find themselves unemployed and broke. Then they come upon Kabir, who apparently lives a wealthy lifestyle now along with his wife, Kamini, and sister, Kiya. They intrude in his life, find out he is having an affair with a woman named Gulabo, and blackmail him into making them partners. They also rope in a gangster-turned-Sadhu, Bata Bhai, into investing in an oil project – but are humiliated and go on the run after finding that Kabir has conned them. With an enraged Bata on their tail, the hapless foursome manage to escape to Macau with the help of a gangster, Mohsin Bhai. It is here they will run into Kabir – who is now the owner of ‘Four Jokers’ Casino – and make elaborate plans to avenge their humiliation as well as ensure that he winds up alone and penniless.

CAUTION: When you are about to watch this film please don't forget to take a headache tablet. Yes I am not kidding mate. Just one word describes the film in short- "Torture". Pathetic film with bad humor and a rubbish storyline. Too much of mimicry that doesn't connect with the audiences. On the contrary they get bugged watching when it gets repeated again and again. Utter nonsense story . On the plus side lies Satish Kaushik . You,ll definitely enjoy his presence in the film. The first half of the film does include a few scenes that are enjoyable.But post interval is fully on the negative side. Bringing gorillas in between makes matter more worse. Stupidity personified. Talking about the performances, Javed is good,Ritesh is silly,Ashish and Arshad are average. Sanjay Dutt- The biggest disappointment of the film. Another factor that doesn't click is the music of the film. I,ll go for 3 out of 10. Watch Dhammal 1 again instead of watching this one. I bet u,ll enjoy that rather than this silly film.
….let me count the ways.**
Those of you who haven't seen the movie yet, please don't watch it. Those of you who have seen this already, we can all just hold hands and mourn the collective incineration of our brains.
Double Dhamaal was sheer torture – the kind that makes you want to blow your head off just to end the pain, the kind that made me want to claw out my newly-lasiked eyes just so I wouldn't see any more, the kind that makes you want to scream and leave the theater at a quick gallop.
Lets not talk about audience reactions anymore…lets talk about the movie. Not much to say – honestly kindergarten babies can do a better job than the bunch of overpaid overacting buffoons in this movie. Everyone, from Arshad Warsi to Sanjay Dutt to the nameless goon who waves a gun around, is a complete waste of time. Hell…the entire movie is a complete waste of time. And writing any more about it would be a waste of MY time.
** Apologies to Elizabeth Barrett Browning
It is a stupid movie…… old stuff…. age old… do not provide a good laugh…
Story : The gang of Dhamaal — Adi (Arshad Warsi), Manav (Jaaved Jafri), Boman (Ashish Chowdhury), Roy (Riteish Deshmukh) are back. Once again they have just one purpose in life: to get rich, any which way. This time the plan entails duping their tormentor Kabir (Sanjay Dutt) by messing up his personal and professional life.
bogus movie… had very high expectation but i must say after watching first show that i have wasted my time and money. my advice do not watch this movie in cinema halls… wait for the television premier. went to cinema by listening to people that this is not worth half of DHAMAAL…. but still went with a hope…. but its a time waste..!!! do not watch…!!!
The original Dhamaal was a rip off from an assortment of Hollywood releases but still it was one of the best comedies i have seen.Double Dhamaal is simply another worthless & disappointing sequel like Bheja Fry 2.
In this installment the idiot foursome is back and try to take revenge against Kabir(Sanjay Dutt)as now he is a rich conman.The plot moves from India to Macau in the second half without any improvement.The jokes & gags get repetitive and the chemistry between the leads is missing which made Dhamaal such fun.Javed Jaffrey is funny in parts while Ashish Chaudhury is simply irritating to watch.The other two leads Arshad & Riteish had been doing these same stupid roles from the onset of their careers and sleepwalk through their roles.Sanjay Dutt looks lost while seeing Kangana & Mallika act we realize why there weren't any female leads in the original Dhamaal.It would have been much better had they only been used for the item numbers.
In short the cinematography,music,plot has got nothing new to offer & though there are some funny moments they are few & far in between so at more than two hours it gets bland & boring.Avoid this if you value your time & only if you are desperate to watch it rent a DVD.
