SUMMARY
**************************
‘Maan Gaye Mughall-E-Azam’ offers nothing more than heaps of juvenile humour, some tortuous songs and, most of all, lousy performances by almost everyone in the cast. Rahul Bose looks awkward speaking Hindi and doesn’t do much else than fondle Mallika or persuade Paresh throughout the film. Paresh Rawal is not in form this time round. Mallika Sherawat does what she’s known for – flash her cleavage, kiss her co-star, and do some booty shakin’. Kay Kay Menon (as the ghazal singer and a double agent) does hold your interest for while, but his character is soon bumped off.
What’s most shocking about ‘Maan Gaye Mughal-E-Azam’ is how shamelessly it steals from ‘To Be Or Not To Be’.
Whenever Paresh Rawal says his dialogues Jab Jab Zameen-e-Hindustan on stage, Rahul Bose (in the audience) stands up and walks to meet Mallika backstage. Exactly the same thing happens in the original movie, where the dialogue was “To Be Or Not To Be”.
Another example: There is a scene where Paresh Rawal guises himself as a ghazal singer with a fake beard and penetrates into the network of a local underworld gangster. However, the gangster comes to know that the real ghazal singer (Kay Kay Menon) is actually dead and to catch the imposter he puts Paresh in the same room where Menon’s dead body is kept. Finding himself in a potentially lethal situation, Paresh hits on an ingenious idea. He shaves the dead singer’s beard and pastes a fake beard on his (dead body’s) face. So when the gangster confronts the two to figure out who’s real, Paresh gets away because the dead singer’s beard turns out to be fake.
Such blatant plagiarism only goes to show how much “creative” the director of ‘Maan Gaye Mughall-E-Azam’ is.
Even if we cut Chhel some flak (because almost everyone else in Bollywood is copying), he doesn’t deserve to be spared for making make such a hodgepodge of what was a superb comedy with memorable performances.
Now, go watch the film. You'll be glad you did.
