Dhaai kilo ka haath is back!

Sunny paaji plays the role of Brad Pitt's Mickey the Pikey as Munna in this liftoff of Snatch. Well, I just gave away the whole story for Fool n Final didnt I?? Now let me tell you what the rest of the characters match up to:

Turkish - Vivek Oberoi as Lucky
Tommy - Suresh Menon as (doesn't matter)
Boris the Blade - Arbaaz Khan as Moscow Chikna
Bricktop - Zakir Hussain as JD
Doug the Head - Asrani as Lalwani
Cousin Avi - Gulshan Grover as Chowksey
Franky Four Fingers - Chunky Pandey as Rocky
Bullet Tooth Tony - Jackie Shroff as GunMaster G9 (with apologies to the original Gun Master, Prabhuji Mithun Chakraborty)
Vinny - Shahid Kapoor as Raja
Tyrone - Johnny Lever as Malbari (sab ke uupar bhari)
Sol - Paresh Rawal as Chatur Chobey

There is no Sausage Charlie, no 2 gorgeous daughters of Doug the Head and JD does not have a pig farm like Bricktop. Instead we have Om Puri and Sharmila Tagore playing inconsequential roles (in retrospect, Sharmila actually portrays Mickey's periwinkle-blue-caravan-loving Ma). Doug the head is Sindhi and cousin Avi is Gujrati. Doug is in Dubai and Avi in London. The whole story takes place in Dubai. I almost forgot to mention Sameera Reddy and Ayesha Takia who make up the eye-candy female presence. Ayesha Takia also gives Shahid Kapoor a reason to bust some moves in song and dance routines.

Bullet tooth tony is Jackie Shroff as GunMaster G9. Gunmaster comes with excess baggage (under his eyes). Chowksey does not get a chance to return to London and is killed. While dying he utters his favorite line 'Bahu Saras' which reminds of Gulshan's similar act in Diljale where he dies wondering 'Uupar gol-gappe kaise khaoo?' Sunny Deol is back with his trademark line 'Ye Dhaai kilo ka haath jab kisipe padta hai na, to aadmi uthta nahi hai .. uth jaata hai'. One might have expected that 14 years from Damini, paaji must have pumped more iron and gone on to 3.5 kilos. Paaji disappoints. Atleast with the dialogues.

The storyline moves on similar to Snatch. Diamond heist, lots of people trying to lay their hands on the diamond, illegal fighting matches, etc etc. Nothing much to write home about this movie. Watch it if you want to experience how Bollywood can smash an original film to pulp.

Later!

For kicks and giggles, I checked out movie reviews for this movie on some other websites. Surprisingly, no one seems to mention its likeness to Snatch. Admittedly this movie is very confusing to understand with so many parallel stories going around but that wasnt the case with Snatch. Either that or I can digest really horrible cinema quite comfortably =))
