Maan Gaye Mughal-E-Azam

After watching Maan Gaye Mughal-E-Azam, we sincerely wish we could have said 'Maan Gaye Sanjay Chhel'. Alas, this could not happen as we found hardly a few scenes in the movie that could be classified as 'worth-appreciating'. First of all, 'Maan Gaye Mughal-E-Azam' is one of those loud comedies that we have left far behind. If that wasn't enough, the continuity in screenplay is seriously lacking in the movie.

 

Though the writer has tried to add a punch to every single line in the film, there are many times when the humor falls totally flat. The story is not strong enough and on top of that, there are irrelevant songs in the movie that make no sense at all. Crisper editing and somewhat more competent direction was surely the need of the hour here. How did the director manage to bring out so loud performances from such brilliant actors, is a question we still have no answer to.

 

Paresh Rawal, though pretty loud, serves as the only saving grace of the film. Moving on to Mallika Sherawat, she hardly knew acting before also, but this time even her cleavage failed to create any ripples. Kay Kay Menon was completely miscast in the movie, while Pavan Malhotra was wasted. However, what we were left wondering is how could the much-talented Rahul Bose be in such a movie. By the way, why was Tanaaz Currim trying to pull off a Punjabi accent?
