I can’t think of a single reason to recommend this slapstick comedy. Every moment is annoying, from the persistent sound effects (such as flatulence followed by a slide whistle) to the character with a speech impediment who can speak only in vowels, and at a pitch that would make dogs howl. Even veteran actors like Ajay Devgan and Kareena Kapoor overact so outrageously that it’s impossible not to despise every character in Golmaal Returns.
