Do Knot Disturb

A Hindi Four Rooms with even less gusto
No bicarbonate soda is going to avert the gag reflex when watching Do Knot Disturb, a Bollywood flick that’s just not going to make it. Instead of casting the picture with two former Miss Universes, the filmmakers would have done well to punch-up a script and attend to the chintzy musical composition. Instead, only a couple of desperately drawn-out gags fill the minutes. Horndog Raj (Govinda) has married into wealth only to spend his days and nights lusting after a trophy on-the-side girlfriend he’ll do anything to keep. Trouble is he’s a moron and incapable of continuing the charade, despite bankrolling a scheme that blows up in everybody’s faces. Some audiences may come to watch the eye candy bounce around in brightly colored getups but the context is more cheap music video thrill than substantive cinema.
It’s curious what Raj (Govinda) did before he wed Kiran (Sushmita Sen) and became the kingpin of her Delhi company. Pimp or smut peddler come to mind. Raj’s roaming eye piques his wife’s suspicions. She hires a private detective to look into the matter. Sure enough the bloke is chasing a younger skirt named Dolly. In Porky Pig fashion, the hustler-in-CEO’s-clothing blabs about Dolly—saying her name again and again as if he’s in some orgasmic trance.
The two are caught on camera, but the quick-thinking bozo tells all that a third party, visible in the picture, is her real boyfriend. Thus begins the search to find the guy in the photo and attempt to create the biggest put on since Milli Vanilli took stage.
There’s a slight buildup where all the parties intersect at The Majestic Hotel and an intricate music video results. The entire work is trying to play off of two gags and fill the rest up with music videos—most of them thin and done-up with tacky tunes that clearly need many more takes in the recording studio.
Suffering through this one is hard work. I suspect male populations near and far will skip a night at the go-go dance joint and get their rocks off at the cinema instead. But as for the poor dates that they’ll drag along, this one is fit with flat notes and mediocre bits sold off as top shelf. Do Knot Disturb? Do Knot Bother!

Do Knot disturb - a must watch said:
Do Knot disturb is a fantastic movie and if you want to remain cool and out of stress , go and watch this movie. this is quite entertaining. But I request all my friends wishing to watch this movie to leave you brains at home before going to theatre. Normally what happens. some people or critics go out to watch film like detective and for finding faults and thus they cannot enjoy properly film. Life is already so stressful and if someone is trying to make you laugh and you start finding faults in it .... come on... enjoy movie... i think if you miss this movie , you miss a lot and you will regret later for not watching it in theatre.... My friends don't read critics of others, rather learn to take decision yourself and become a judge yourself rather reading a review criticizing the film. Do knot disturb is full of comedy and it's stress burster also... Govinda , Ritesh Deshmukh, Sohail Khan , Ranveer Shori, Rajpal yadav, Lara dutta and Sushmita sen they all have well executed their roles ...My dear critic does'nt know how it is difficult to make a movie and moreover making somebody laugh If you have to make movie , you will know it..my dear critics spoil somebody 's work of many months in three hours... it is not just. For me who can not laugh after watching such a fantastic film DO knot disturb, is either mentally disturbed or he does not understand language of the movie.. it 's quite non sense to find a moral lessons in a comedy film , for me if somebody can make me laugh even by making gestures and expression or with silly jokes , I will appreciate him... My friend the toughest task in this world is to make somebody laugh you can make somebody cry and sad but it's hard job to make somebody laugh...All i want to say is Do Knot disturb is a movie which you must watch . of course if you think that you don't want to be happy in your life then it's ok ..For anyone who loves laughing Do Knot Disturb is open Invitation. If you miss this movie you miss a lot in this year
My rating --- 4/5
