Rama Rama Kya Hai Dramaaa

Rama Rama Kya Hai Dramaaa (comedy)
Cast: Rajpal Yadav, Neha Dhupia, Ashish Chaudhry, Amrita Arora
Direction: S Chandrakant

THREE married couples have their own theories on matrimony. For some, it's nuptial blues, for others it's nuptial bliss, for us it's a sleepy tryst with Rajpal Yadav desperately trying to lug the burden of a non-happening film on his puny shoulders. Rama Rama faltu ka dramaa !

Yadav is a cashier in a bank who settles for an arranged marriage with a small town girl (Neha Dhupia). The girl marries him because she harbours dreams of a glitzy life in amchi Mumbai, with loads of pizza, burger and paani puri.

And the guy marries her because his neighbours (Anupam Kher and Rati Agnihotri) tell him she's ‘heroine’ type glamorous. Both their dreams are shattered in the daily bickering that sees the bride sulking before the TV and the groom imagining he's married to any and every beautiful girl he spots. So much so, he even thinks he's married to his boss' wife (Amrita Arora), despite the fact that the boss (Ashish Chaudhary) has his own tale of woe as the archetypal henpecked husband. The third couple is the elderly, yet eternal romantics (Anupam and Rati) who get cosy any and everywhere and believe in saat janam ka saath .

Try stretching a three-hour film around this paper-thin storyline and you know what you'll soon be hearing. Your neighbour's deep-in-slumber snores. Rajpal Yadav tries hard to keep the comic banter on, but the laughs are too few to certify this film as a comedy. And with Amrita Arora and Neha Dhupia perfecting the art of the bimbette bore, there seems to be no respite for the bechara viewer.
