Director Anwer Khan’s earlier debutante outing in Four Two Ka One, not to be confused with SRK’s earlier film one Two ka Four, was nothing much too rave about or rather Anwer Khan’s totally forgettable directorial debut, that was almost half a decade ago. And now with his latest offering Yea Toh Two Much Ho Gaya he has religiously albeit blindly followed in the footsteps of his directorial Guru namely the late Man Mohan Desai so much so that he has even named his identical twin brothers character as Man (Jimmy Shergill) & Mohan (again Jimmy Shergil). Need I say anything more?
The scripted scenario kicks off with Man (Jimmy Shergill) having a great time with his girl friend Mina (Bruna Abdullah) in Thailand. So what if, as he claims, he had gone there to become something. Never mind! Mohan (again Jimmy Shergill) lives with his mother (Zarina Wahab) in a village in India and he does not have any work except fighting off people with his lath (Bamboo Stick) and even he too is romancing with his girl friend Tina (Pooja Chopra) much to the chagrin of her brother Chaudhary (Murli Sharma) who in turn is having a rollicking affair with another village woman (Mausami Udeshi). In Thailand Man has an altercation with the Don Mack’s (Arbaaz Khan) brother (Devanshu), beats him black & blue and clicks a selfie with him and sends it to the don. Then Man leaves Thailand and comes to India. While to escape a rape charge Mohan leaves India and lands up in Thailand and thence begins a rollicking journey of fun & frolic.
Kudos to director Anwer Khan for packing in every commercial potboiler ingredient to make Yea Toh Two Much Ho Gaya a real mass entertainment splash. Which bears the typical MKD films stamp in each & every scene or rather frame of the film. So go ahead watch the film leaving your brains behind at home a la the Govinda – David Dhawan flicks.
Performance wise Jimmy Shergill & Vijay Patkar, both in their career best 1st time ever dual roles of their career, steal your heart. Next in line Arbaaz Khan has made tall claims that this film will prove to be a turning point of his career. Really! Yea Toh Two Much Ka Bhi Much Much ho Gaya!!! While amongst the girls Pooja Chopra gives a lively performance added with a lot of spunk, Bruna Abdullah cannot act for nuts as Jimmy Shergill keeps reminding her constantly in the film in the garb of her Hindi diction and Maushami Udeshi too seems to be the die – hard fan of Bruna Abdullah in the histrionics department.
Tail Piece: All said & done Yea Toh Two Much Ho Gaya is a well – intentioned film for the masses.
