David
Dhawan and Govinda were the
No.1 team in Bollywood once;
and two years ago they recreated
that magic once again in ‘Partner’.
But will their jodi go the distance
yet again? ‘Do Knot Disturb’
a comedy of errors and affairs,
is a heavily marketed movie
by Big Pictures. Will this work?
Let’s analyze.
The story is about a businessman
- who to safeguard the secret
of him having a mistress to
his wife - brings in a poor
waiter to act as the mistress’s
boyfriend. The rich wife hires
a detective to find out the
truth. What follows is a comedy
of errors which finally heads
towards a predictable finale.
David Dhawan has mixed his Maine
Pyaar Kyun Kiya, Saajan Chale
Sasural, bits and pieces of
the Tamil hit Panchathanthiram
and made a cocktail out of it.
There are several comic moments
but not in the same league of
their previous movies. Even
though illogical comedies are
David Dhawan’s forte,
he has missed it completely
this time. The pacing of the
movie needs to be adjusted as
it is a little |

boring after the interval. With so little
ideas they have tried to make it into a
two and half hour movie which goes against
the movie. A moral ending of the cheating
husband getting his due punishment, is a
welcome change.
Technically, the movie has nothing much
to brag about, Cinematography by Vijay Arora
is plain ordinary. Editing and music is
passable. The dialogues are crude most of
the times and dialogues like “thujhe
Bangala Chahiye (wife) ya flat (mistress)”
sounds demeaning to ladies.
Almost all the male artistes have given
their best, Govinda is hilarious, and his
dialogue delivery is praise-worthy. Ritesh
Deshmukh proves yet again his prowess in
the comedy genre. Both Miss Universe in
the movie have overacted, Lara Dutta looks
hot but Sushmita looks fatter than Govinda
in some places. Sohail Khan is likeable
in a role which fits him to a ‘T’.
Rajpal Yadav goes overboard most of the
times but still manages to make us laugh.
Manoj Pahwa has done his bit brilliantly.
Ranvir Shorey has been wasted in a role
which has little scope to play with his
histrionics.
With ‘Wake up Sid’ releasing
on the same day and Diwali just two weekends
away, it is a difficult time to prosper
for ‘Do knot disturb’. The amazing
run of Wanted in the single screens is going
to work against the movie too. With its
tremendous hype, the movie might make a
solid start but from Monday onwards the
downward trend is likely.
Verdict:
Cocktail rehash with a moral ending
