Post-PK and OMG, one might feel that Dharam Sankat Mein is a similar dish that is being served.
But mind you this familiar dish is served with a new tadka and this one is yummy too.
What is remarkable about the film is that it doesn’t exploit the controversy of the Hindu-Muslim conflict in order to attract attention.
Director has made an impartial Film sensitive to both the beliefs.
It is not as funny as it looks in the trailer, but I would call it a sufficiently funny movie.
The film has a funny premise, but the film also treads on many serious topics--straddling the fine line between social satire and social commentary. While it's not a brilliant film, I really respect the filmmakers for making it--and it's good for a laugh.
What works for the film is the perfect trio of Paresh Rawal, Naseeruddin Shah and Annu Kapoor.
Their performances are absolutely flawless, inteliigent, sensitive and sincere.
Paresh Rawal again delivers his dry one-liners with such impeccable timing that it invokes a chuckle or two.
Annu Kapoor and Paresh Rawal have a crackling chemistry never over-powering eachother and their scenes in the film are the best part.
Naseeruddin Shah has to overact to put the message across, so some people might like it and some wont, nevertheless his is no doubt an earnest performance.
The storyline is solid up until about 85% into the film, nearing the end. It simply runs out of steam a bit at this point.
On the whole, DHARAM SANKAT MEIN should be watched for its sheer simplicity as beyond the laughter, is its theme of family and friendship that transcends how we look and who we are on the surface, segregated and branded by our name, or religion, or culture, which should never be the case.
The concept is really the driving force that made this film so intriguing and humorous.
