Do Knot Disturb Pre-release Review
This is one film that you should not ‘disturb’ yourself over. I mean the effort of buying a ticket, driving down to the multiplex and then standing in the queue for popcorns and cola! In fact, you can sit at home 
and watch flicks like ‘Kyunki Main Jhooth Nahi Bolta’, ‘Biwi No.1’, ‘Maine Pyaay Kyun Kiya’, ‘No Entry’ and even ‘Masti’ for that matter and have much more fun. Why? Simply because ‘Do Knot Disturb’ seems to be an amalgamation (read poor) of all these movies, be it in terms of the characterizations, the scenes or even the gags!
and watch flicks like ‘Kyunki Main Jhooth Nahi Bolta’, ‘Biwi No.1’, ‘Maine Pyaay Kyun Kiya’, ‘No Entry’ and even ‘Masti’ for that matter and have much more fun. Why? Simply because ‘Do Knot Disturb’ seems to be an amalgamation (read poor) of all these movies, be it in terms of the characterizations, the scenes or even the gags! The comedy is slapstick, but not in the usual sense of the term. Rather, you will see a slap sticking to Rajpal Yadav’s face every few minutes. The main problem with ‘Do Knot Disturb’ is that its formula is way too old and the script has been based on the same oft-repeated concept (rich wife, poor husband, extramarital affair, lots of lies to cover the affair and emotional drama in the end). The plot is irrational and the punch lines completely missing. It’s high time directors realize that just facial contortions, silly dialogues, cheap gestures, and high-pitched voices do no make a good comedy flick.
It is sad to see Govinda, who was once considered the ‘King of Comedy’ and still has so much potential (remember ‘Partner’), being reduced to a mere caricature of his earlier self. On top of that, even Ritesh Deshmukh and Ranvir Shorey have been criminally wasted in the movie. Lara Dutta is looking like a million dollars, but needs to work on her comic timing (squeaking all the time will not do). The worst part of the movie is that one of the most elegant ladies in Bollywood Sushmita Sen has been reduced to an overweight eyesore, especially with her unfaltering wardrobe. The only saving grace is a few laughs from Rajpal Yadav.
Do Knot Disturb Pre-release Review
Looks like Bollywood would never get bored of making comedy flicks based on the institution of marriage? On top of that, these days, the presence of apna Chi Chi (Govinda) in such flicks is becoming more and more predictable? Somehow or the other, this ace actor always bags an important role in such movies. So, whether it was the box office average movie ‘Life Partner’ or the promising upcoming flick ‘Do Knot Disturb’, you are sure to get a taste of Govinda's expertise over comedy.
Directed by the King of Comedies David Dhawan, ‘Do Knot Disturb’ has been produced by Vashu Bhagnani. The movie stars Bollywood's Who's Who of comedy, such as Rajpal Yadav, Ritesh Deshmukh, Ranvir Shorey, Himani Shivpuri, Rituparna Sengupta and Manoj Pahwa. Add to this, the enigmatic looks and the charming performance of the leading ladies, Sushmita Sen and Lara Dutta. The music of the film has been given by the talented duo Nadeem-Shravan, while the lyrics have been written by Sameer.
Coming to the plot of the movie, ‘Do Knot Disturb’ runs around the 'knotty' affair of a rich businessman (Govinda), who resorts to all sorts of measures to hide his extra marital affair with a supermodel (Lara Dutta). His wife (Sushmita Sen) is a sophisticated and sexy lady, who is extremely generous and caring. However, the twist in the ah-so-blissful life of the couple is that the wife is more successful than her husband. While she is the proud owner of a successful company, the lavish house and everything else that money can buy, her husband is the one who lives on his wife's money and moves to her beats.
Frustrated and suffocated by his state-of-affairs, Govinda resorts to an affair with a supermodel - his only way out. However, his wife gets suspicious of his moves. On the other hand, the hot and sultry supermodel mistress is too naïve to judge that her lover would not leave his wife to marry her. Coming back to the life of the couple, to get rid of the qualms, the husband bribes a waiter (Ritesh Deshmukh) and asks him to pretend to be the model's boyfriend. The waiter, then again, has a story of his own. He is in desperate need of money, for the treatment of his sick mother (reminds you of the 1970’s Hindi movies, doesn’t it!).
Allured by the money offered by the rich businessman, the waiter pretends to be the boyfriend of the mistress, so as to throw away the mistrust of the businessman's wife. However, in comes the twist, when Sohail Khan, playing the role of the ex-boyfriend of Govinda’s mistress (mainly dumped for the married man), comes to the scene. Though Sohail is genuinely in love with her, he does not have a control over his anger. Add to the already 'knotted' plot, a private detective (Ranvir Shorey), hired by the rich lady to keep an eye on the moves of her husband.
This private detective is all set to get a proof of infidelity - thanks to his feelings for this sexy, rich woman who is his childhood friend and sweetheart (Ah… those one sided love affair blues)!! Mistaken identities and misunderstandings follow, which are sure to bring out the laughter pangs and hilarious sides of viewers. Will the rich businessman be able to cover up his 'knotty' affair? Will this sexy, rich woman know the secret affair of her husband and fall for her childhood friend? Will the hot, but naïve mistress ever come to terms with her lover's intention and go back to her ex-boyfriend? A whole lot of questions, all of which would be answered in the first Friday of October! Till then, wait and watch!!
