The USP of 'Yamla Pagla Deewana' should definitely be the sharing of screen space by the Deols and the fact that a large portion of the movie is based in the home ground amidst the Jats/ Sardars/ Punjab. The taste buds of Deol's fans + North India + Overseas market is satiated to great lengths. The Santa/ Banta jokes are aplenty. To fire up the screens, not one but two item songs are thrown in for good measure (cashing on the success of "Munni Badnaam" vocalist of to croon both "Tinku Jiya" & "Chamki Jawaani").░ Dharam Paji:: The 75+ star manages to pull off a good performance, though as expected wrinkle lines are obvious. A few of his nostalgic lines are bound to draw whistles in the cinema halls.░ Sunny:: His character is confined to play the macho man who stutters the moment his better-half turns him into battered-half. The "Dabbang"'isque action is revisited showcasing the "dhaai-kilo-ka-haath" in full glory.░ Bobby:: Not quite there. Wish he could put in that little extra to pull-off the "Gajodhar" character. ░ Kulraj Randhawa:: The Preity Zinta impersonator has a charming screen presence. Though the romantic track is not fleshed out adequately.░ Anupam Kher:: His comic timing deserves a mention and his character seemed Santa-Banta rolled into one. ░ Puneet Isaar:: Not enough screen-time.░ Mukul Dev & Himanshu Malik: I failed to recognise them both in the Sardar get up.░ Johnny Lever:: Not even worth a mention. Thankfully very limited screen-time.░ Nafisa Ali & Emma Brown:: The role can be termed as special appearance.The plot is very much 1970's and the voice-over from Ajay Devgn serves the disclaimer of "lost & found" script at the very start of the movie. On that note, the writing should have been further polished. The screenplay is the weakest link. Additionally the editor could have trimmed at the right place to make a lasting impact of the scene."Yamla Pagla Deewana" has been marketed well, especially the promos which managed to create a buzz (and more or less encapsulated the funny moments!). Samir Karnik seems to know how to hold the reigns, the only thing he needs is to hold them tight!PS: The original Rafi's title track has been re-mixed quite well.

If Deols were looking to redeem themselves from the disaster that was 'Apne', they certainly have with this one. The movie makes great use of Sunny's He-Man image with exaggerated but visually stunning action sequences(with a sensational Dhol+Electronic Guitar background music which they should have released with the album), Bobby's energy and Dharmender's mere presence on the scene.First half, though, not nearly as mad as the second, is helped by Two good item numbers and Johnny Lever's cameo. Second half is riot. When all the Punjabi characters with their Punjabiness come to the fore. Anupam Kher is impeccable as ever in his comic timing. The Canada obsessed cousin was hilarious along with the Family friend, the Flashy clothes+Goggle sporting character. Kulraj Randhawa is cute and efficient. But undoubtedly, its Mukul Dev's drunkard guy that gets the best scenes and dialogs. Amongst others, Emma Brown- the wife that scares living daylights out of Sunny Deol of all people and the kids, especially the smaller one(with his limited vocabulary syndrome) are a treat.10/10 as I went there to get entertained and I was.

Deol's are back with a bang. Good Movie to watch. Lots of Laughter and action, A little bit of emotions. Sunny deol an NRI lives in canada. comes to India to take back his father and younger brother who were the biggest thug in banaras. But Bobby deol fells in love with a girl and her brother take her back to punjab. Sunny deol comes with a plan. and they go to punjab. to get their love back.Sunny deol great acting as action star with his 2 1/2 kg hath. bobby deol acting is OK. Dharmendra the new young man with his dance and action. First half is nice with lots of laughter and little action. The second half is icing on cake with lots of funny moments and confusion with the final action sequence of sunny deol is cherry on top.
