A totally outrageous plot that falls flat
I HAVE said many times over in my reviews that sequels in Indian cinema do not really work. This third in the franchise starring veteran action hero Dharmendra and his two sons, Bobby and Sunny Deol, is again such a disaster.
Vaidya Puran (Sunny) runs an Ayurvedic clinic where an ancient formula handed down through generations is a cure for any ailment. He is a gentle soul, whose brute strength only comes to the fore when he is angered by anyone or anything threatening the younger brother he dotes on, Kaala (Bobby).
Their real-life father Dharmendra plays retired lawyer Jayant Parmar, who has been squatting as their tenant for many years, despite all their attempts to oust him.
He lives out his life in a dream world where he imagines two beautiful damsels by his side all the time, even discussing his issues with them while everyone else wonders what is going on.
Enter unscrupulous Gujarati pharmaceutical manufacturer Morfatia, who wants the secret formula at all costs.
A wild card in the entire zany plot is young doctor Kriti Kharbanda, who teams up with Vaidya to learn the art of Ayurveda for a while.
Kaala is smitten by her, but finds it difficult to confess his love.
The theft of the formula ends with a totally outrageous court case where the judge is Shatrughan Sinha, an old friend of Jayant, who irks his erstwhile buddy by addressing him by his nickname in the public court, and shares details of their personal antics together as young men.
Director Navaniat Singh fails in his task to extract some good laughs as he tries to send out messages about the efficacy of traditional medicines and the need for brotherhood between the Punjabi and Gujarati communities. Only diehard fans of the Deol family might like this movie.
