Ab Ayega Mazaa (1984) Farooq Sheikh FilmFest

Madness continues at my place with Farooq's fabulous comedies. Movies so simple and so funny. Here is second installment.

---

Ab Ayega Mazaa directed by Pankaj Parashar is another movie, where Farooq Sheikh plays loser. Who is not good with girls or even having problems with his work. [don't go by this hillarious screencap!! :D]

I had little bit high expectations from this movie, cause most recent movie I watched of same genre was Chashme Buddoor, which is a classic. So this one I felt, falling short, a little bit. But as an overall product, this is again, a sweet little harmless movie, that you can look forward to. Here are some here there caps and thoughts and summary of storyline.

---

The movie opens up with this funny sequence of a graveyard, where Ramesh [Raja Bundela] a colleague of Vijay [Farooq Sheikh] is trying to sell land for- Grave. Yes Grave :D

No doubt, it was a dream. Vijay wakes up, there is Rajju [Satish Kaushik] playing his housekeeper.And Vijay asks him a silly question, only to find silly answer !!

Just like Chashme Buddoor, here too he is dealing with his two wheeler, which doesn't starts at one kick at all. And a reason, he reaches his office late, daily.

Oh, our hero does a job too. And as always he is a bigtime loser. Vijay works for an ad agency, where Boss always fires at him. Ramesh, takes initiative and poor Vijay is left amazed.
[The entire setup of Ad Agency, reminded me of Jhankaar Beats, where the backdrop is used excellently]


While Ramesh, is not that bad at all. He is kind of a stud. Always looking for an excuse to meet with a girl. He teaches Vijay how to get a girl, and get a life. But Vijay, is always way above all of his talk.
[Raja Bundela had got great sense of styling, I must admit that]

See here, 'jahan ladki dekhi ki ho gaye lattoo...'

Even at hospital, he didn't spared nurse too. And see name of the nurse !! :D

Finally, his day has come. Vijay gets to meet a girl-by chance of course.

Dazed by beauty of Nupur [Anita Raj] !!

[man, what a time it was, buses were never on time, and so low frequency of buses, so much time to spend at the bus stops !!]
The ever confusing sequence. Whether to look at her or not........
See four different expressions of both.

And the result of above......Bang !! Vijay makes it up instantly that he has this childhood problem of getting weakness at times.

But somehow, Vijay gets to get with Nupur, who actually was waiting for her car. She gives him lift, and he goes blah blah about girls. Nupur invites him at her home to meet her dad-who is a homeopathy practitioner.

And so happy he is, gets home and tells Rajju everything. Totally losing his control.

Now it has started. Calls to each other, fixing meetings.
[to hell with mobiles, telephones rocked !!]

Vijay reches at her home. There a hillarious piece of dialogue. Spoken by servant of Nupur's home. See this...

Very first meeting, that too with girl's dad. Oh oh....this man has guts.. isn't he? Nupur's dad is quite a big businessman, living a luxurious life. Having much imported stuff around. And that, is a matter of concern for some people [in later stage]

Nupur does theatre as her hobby. Resulting regular visits of Vijay at auditorium.Here she tells one interesting line 'Everyone amongst us, acts in their lives. At office, he acts as an employee, infront of wife he acts as husband, in front of mother he acts as a son....'
And money, as always is a problem for our Vijay. See..

But how about this?? Nupur is quite shocked when Vijay asks him for a lift.....

Only to find out later...................this :D

Drumroll.......................there comes Sidey [Ravi Baswani] a foreign returned guy, son of Vijay's boss....

And childhood friend of Nupur ...[now that's what i call a connection !]. Both gel up very well together. And Sidey, is kind of glued up to Nupur....he goes wherever she goes.

And ends up in theatre as well. Where Vijay feels really insecure....

and jealous of Sidey....

And feels very same like the girl who is left out in this poster :)

Poor Vijay, returns home....where his friends cheer him up....

And story is going different way for sidey too.....though Nupur is a childhood friend, she prefers Vijay instead. And plays pranks on Sidey, to get rid of him.

And of course, run around trees and sing songs.............
[p.s.: what does 'Aabshaar' means?]


And not to forget...the all time favorite 'two' flowers enjoying each other's company :-P

But as it always happen, some misunderstandings takes place between the two, and both Nupur walks away from him....

Things are shaping up differently at other side. Vijay's boss is basically working with a smuggler Swamiji [Girja Shankar]. Who is keen on having a special idol, which is lying at Nupur's dad's place.

Boss tries lot. But fails everytime. So frustated Swamiji, finally takes out his last big card. that his daughter [sidey's sister] is alive and to get her back, he must bring that idol.

---

That's the story. Will Nupur get back to Vijay? What will happen to that idol? Is sidey's sister really alive?? That's the storyline, the movie goes further on. And resulting in funny sequences. Some hillarious dialogues. And finally..............they lived happily ever after [what else?!]

This is another film, from low budget Eighties comedies. It is not great as others. But it has its moments. Like the scooter ride of Vijay. The telphone talks. The bus stop sequences and much more. Anita Raj looks lovely in each scene. All actors does their job very well. Even a surprising but short role of Satish Kaushik is also promising.

---

By the way, this is perhaps my first movie of Anita Raj. I think I have seen her movies as a child, which I can't remember at all. But she looks really lovely. See her in following caps........

---

Some cameos were also there. See below, can you identify that girl in hands of Swamiji - young Himani Shivpuri??

Also, Pawan Malhotra, recently seen in Delhi 6....

I hope you all are enjoying these posts, as I am enjoying these sweet little classics....
