His dying confession about the whereabouts of the hidden money is heard by four unconnected groups who land at the accident scene at the same time. Total Dhamaal First Reactions: Madhuri Dixit, Anil Kapoor’s Film Is ‘Hilarious’, Say Fans. While trying to escape from both his former friends and the Commissioner, Pintu gets caught in a freak accident.

However, they are hoodwinked by their third partner Pintu (Manoj Pahwa) who runs away with the money. Guddu (Ajay Devgn) and his friend Jonny (Sanjay Mishra) steal Rs 50 crores worth of black money from a corrupt Police Commissioner (Boman Irani). Unlike the first movie, there is a background given to the treasure in question here. Why is why, Total Dhamaal is quite a fun ride till it goes on a slippery road in the third act. Thankfully, director Indra Kumar realised what went wrong there and rebooted the franchise by working on the same strengths of the first film and using a bigger talented cast (though Sanjay Dutt's absence is felt). The treasure trail was dropped in the sequel, Double Dhamaal, which was a disappointment. But there was plenty of fun moments to watch, as a group of morally-bending protagonists (our upright mainstream movies usually don't go that route) go on a kiddish ride to become richer. Of course, I didn't know then that it was almost a frame-to-frame adaptation of a Hollywood film, It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. I don't know about you, but I had quite enjoyed the first Dhamaal movie when it came out in 2007.
