As expected from every Priyadarshani movie Dhol too has all the masala needed for a comedy flick. Good cast, funny dialogues and well-directed scenes make the film worth your money. But one connot help wondering how long is Priyan going to use same climax with confusing fight between different groups? Rather than being hilarious, it now seems more stale and stupid.

You cannot compare Dhol with hits like Hera Pheri and Hungama, but it does not disappoint you. If you are a comedy fan, then this is a movie you will enjoy with your family and friends.

The story revolves around four friends Pankaj (Sharman Joshi), Markand (Rajpal Yadav), Sameer (Tusshar Kapoor) and Gautam (Kunal Khemu). Carefree and single, the guys are waiting for the right chance to make their career. After being unable to start any work of their own, they decide to patao (woo) a rich girl and lead their life in comfort. To their delight, a rich girl Ritu (Tannushree Dutta) comes to live next door with her grandparents, to get to the bottom of her brother’s suicide. They are all set to win the girl by hook or by crook. However, all their efforts to impress the girl and her family fail (resulting in some rib tickling incidents), so they pretend to be her deceased brother’s friends. Though they succeed in convincing her, their plan back fires and they find themselves in a much bigger problem.

Some gangster was behind Ritu’s brother and his friend Jai’s death and he has been looking for a dhol, and now he is going to kill all four of them if they don’t tell him where it is. More and more funny scene follows.

The movie moves on the chemistry that the four actors share. The friendship and relations shown looks very real and natural. Rajpal Yadav steals the show proving that a good actor stands out no matter what. Sharman Joshi yet again proves that comedy comes naturally to him. Tusshar Kapoor should drop his lover boy and ganster roles and focus more in such movies that will help him make a place in the viewers’ memory. Out from the Bhat camp, Kunal Khemu, on other hand, is successful in proving that he is a pretty versatile actor. Tanushree Dutta does not have much to do, and the music is so-so.
