David
Dhawan
has
always
made
wacky
and
bizarre
films
and
his
new
baby
Do
Knot
Disturb
doesn't
push
the
envelope
either.
His
critics
may
term
his
cinema
outlandish
and
outrageous,
but
the
fact
is
that
his
films
cater
to
the
aam
junta.
His
mantra
is
simple:
Haso
aur
hasao.
Now
let's
analyse
Do
Knot
Disturb,
inspired
by
the
French
film
La
Doublure
aka
The
Valet
(2006).
David
has
tackled
extra-marital
affairs
in
his
earlier
films
like
Saajan
Chale
Sasural,
Gharwali
Baharwali
and
Biwi
No.1.
Do
Knot
Disturb
also
talks
of
a
married
man
having
a
torrid
affair
with
a
supermodel,
but
it's
not
remotely
similar
to
his
past
endeavours.
Actually,
Do
Knot
Disturb
rests
on
a
thin
plot
and
David
relies
on
gags
and
jokes
to
keep
you
hooked
for
those
2
+
hours.
Even
though
you
realise
that
there's
not
much
meat
in
the
story,
even
though
the
situations
are
silly,
you
remain
glued
to
the
proceedings
because
it
keeps
you
in
splits
thanks
to
the
funny
jokes
and
the
weird
characters.
So
what's
the
verdict?
Do
Knot
Disturb
is
sure
to
keep
you
smiling
from
start
to
end.
A
few
portions
may
even
prompt
you
to
laugh
aloud
or
break
into
a
guffaw.
If
non-stop
mindless
entertainment
is
on
your
mind,
this
recipe
is
just
for
you.
Do
Knot
miss
this
one!
A
filthy
rich
businessman
(Govinda),
married
to
a
beautiful
and
sophisticated
woman
(Sushmita
Sen),
tries
to
hide
his
extra-marital
affair
with
a
supermodel
(Lara
Dutta).
To
save
his
skin,
he
bribes
a
waiter
(Riteish
Deshmukh)
into
pretending
to
be
the
supermodel's
boyfriend.
What
follows
is
a
series
of
mistaken
identities
and
misunderstandings.
David
Dhawan
opens
his
cards
at
the
very
outset.
The
emphasis
is
on
comic
situations,
while
the
story
goes
out
of
the
window
after
a
point.
You
don't
mind
it
purely
because
the
motive,
like
always,
is
to
keep
you
in
splits
and
Do
Knot
Disturb
succeeds
to
a
large
extent.
At
the
same
time,
writer
Yunus
Sajawal
takes
a
long
route
to
reach
the
culmination.
The
Ranvir
Shorey
dual
role
sequence,
for
instance,
seems
unwarranted.
Also,
Sohail
Khan's
portions
looks
forced
in
the
narrative.
Even
otherwise,
the
post-interval
portions
are
very
lengthy,
although
the
comic
scenes
compensate
for
the
deficiencies
in
the
writing.
David
Dhawan
is
the
Big
Boss
of
laughathons
and
Do
Knot
Disturb
proves
his
supremacy
yet
again.
You
may
argue
that
the
goings-on
are
plain
ridiculous
and
ludicrous,
but
the
entertainment
quotient
is
so
high
that
you
ignore
the
weak
plot
gradually.
Nadeem-Shravan's
music
is
pleasant.
The
songs
are
well
filmed
too.
Vijay
Arora's
cinematography
is
excellent.
Dialogues
(Amit
Aryan)
are
first-rate.
In
fact,
a
few
one-liners
actually
bring
the
house
down.
Govinda
is
matchless
in
a
David
Dhawan
film
and
Do
Knot
Disturb
confirms
this
fact
yet
again.
In
fact,
there
are
certain
parts
that
only
he
can
portray
and
David
taps
that
potential
to
the
fullest.
Watch
Govinda
when
he
suddenly
starts
speaking
in
a
female
voice
during
the
Ranvir
Shorey
episode.
It's
howlarious!
Riteish
Deshmukh
is
superb.
Matching
Govinda
in
scene
after
scene
is
next
to
impossible,
but
Riteish
stands
on
his
feet
all
through.
His
scenes
with
Lara
also
are
thoroughly
enjoyable.
Lara
Dutta
springs
a
pleasant
surprise.
Known
for
glamorous
roles
uptil
now,
she
handles
the
comic
act
extremely
well.
Also,
she
looks
sensuous
in
several
scenes.
Sushmita
Sen
is
wonderful,
though
she
gets
limited
scope
to
prove
her
mettle.
Sohail
Khan's
role
is
sketchy,
hence
it
doesn't
make
an
impact.
Ranvir
Shorey
is
excellent.
Manoj
Pahwa
and
Rajpal
Yadav
are
amazing
in
their
respective
parts.
Himani
Shivpuri
is
alright.
Rituparna
Sengupta
is
hardly
there.
On
the
whole,
Do
Knot
Disturb
is
a
mass
entertainer
that
keeps
you
entertained
and
smiling/laughing
in
most
parts.
At
the
box-office,
this
one
lives
up
to
the
hype
and
expectations
and
that
in
turn
should
reflect
very
strongly
in
its
business.
