Fights,Camera And Mindless Action in Himmatwala.Starring Ajay Devgn,Tamannaah Bhatia,Mahesh Manjrekar,Paresh Rawal. A Sajid Khan film in not meant to be taken seriously he has made that crystal clear time and again.So, don't you dare put on your thinking cap.Full too faltu is howbest one can describe Himmatwala in which Khan revisits eightie flick the Jitendra and Sridevi starrer movie by the same name. Hence it's only right that the director writer Khan reminds us at more than one point that it's eighties in which the film is set. Of course, in his typical lampooning style he continues to take a dig and tongue in check even refers to 21st century disease called swine flu and save the tiger campagian.Forget how much of the film is faithful to the original it is in effect a tribute to as well as a spoof of the ever etermal formula masala film.So you get to see what you have seen before umpteen number of times. A back of beyond village ruled by despotic sarpanch, revenge saga, hero falling for the daughter of his arch enemy and bashing up a dozen goondas with a flicker of his hand. Yawn Yawn....indeed the film that starts with Sonakshi Sinha gyrating to Thank God it's Friday followed by Ajay Devgn smashing up a street fighter does begain on an insipid note. But the movement our hero returns to his native village the film finds its keel. Dialogues aim at the funny bone but hit home only every now and then. And part of the credit for strange one liners bring a smile to your face goes to the versatile actor Paresh Rawal .
