At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

I finally watched "waking ned devine", it was not as funny as I expected. I have to say that I love this one much better. Here is what I wrote a few weeks ago.I didn't know that this movie was a remake of the English movie, but it didn't diminish how funny this movie is. The storyline fits with the specific Indian village setting pretty good.I had to rewind quite a few times just to watch those funny scenes again. It is a comedy, not a history movie, so there is no need to check the facts to see if they are correct or not."Chup Chup Ke" was the first Indian comedy that I have seen, I rated that one a 9. I also rated this movie a 9. Those actors were pretty good, and their facial expressions are priceless.I truly enjoyed it very much. I may watch it again after a few years to have another good laugh.

Let's admit it, Bollywood can't really pull off a comedy - not since Andaaz Apna Apna have we seen a decent comedy make it to the silver screen. I'm sick of all these talentless newbies coming into the industry and appearing in "comedies" that are nothing but annoying screaming and complete idiocy.This movie though made me laugh right through. The chemistry between the main characters was fantastic and the acting was superb by the 3 main old dudes. Asrani was also FANTASTIC! The jokes, the reactions, etc were perfectly delivered. The story, although predictable, was a refreshing change and it never felt over cooked and the jokes stayed true to the story line.Good light hearted film!

A very nice comedy after a long time...free of nudity, vulgarity etc ... a complete family entertainer. A great theme making people laugh from the beginning till the end of the movie. Although the film has stars of the fame like The great comedy king Paresh Rawal, Om Puri, Asraani, Sudha Chandran, Ritesh, Shakti Kapoor etc but still the movie doesn't look cluttered with stars... Star of the Show is "Baaje" n "Leela" And unlike most of other comedy movies.. the end of Malamaal Weekly is still grasping and very very comic. A total Paisaa Wasool.... A bit overdoing on part of Ritesh.. But still a good Timepass. Do watch!!

Something is wrong out there. The genre of comedy is not going through a very good phase in Bollywood. There was a time when a movie like "Malamaal Weekly" would have been very highly appreciated for its great slap-stick, nincompoop approach to humor. Unfortunately, a new wave of directors have set such high standards in film-making, scripting and screenplay, that an idiot-ride like the one under mention here cannot go unpunished.The heavy dosage of actors cannot save this film. In fact, they are just as much to blame in messing it up. Except, perhaps Ritesh Deshmukh, who gets better with his films. Let's go through the cast, one by one: Paresh Rawal: Plays Lilaram, the lottery ticket seller. Bad teeth, worse jokes. Not as annoying as he was in Garam Masala, but seems to be fading out on the comedy scene. A possible favorite of Priyadarshan, and no doubt a brilliant actor, but this director has worn him out. Give him something new to do.Om Puri: ballu, the milkman. Now, why is it that we see Om Puri, a great character artist of commercial and parallel cinema, doing comedy so often. i feel he has limited ability in comedy. he seems to be playing the same kind of character over and over again. Slightly temperamental, very opinionated, etc. Leave him to his serious roles.Rajpal Yadav: Nothing new ever comes out of him.Asrani: He's an "Angrezon ke zamane ka comedian". This generation needs something else to laugh.Shakti Kapoor: They're still offering him movies?? Innocent: Really famous comedian from South India, but I think his voice was dubbed by Tiku Talsania.Ritesh Deshmukh: The only decent performance in the movie. His scenes are the most bearable.Reema Sen: Plays the village belle. Wears make-up all the time.Arbaaz Khan: Confused and hurried as usual.I am not going to discuss the plot, but overall the movie was stretched beyond tolerance and the amount of characters that were there was completely unnecessary. If you want to watch an actually funny movie along the same lines, watch "Rat Race". I think "Malamaal Weekly" could've been inspired by that.
