At the same time, RASCALS is definitely *not* for those who tilt towards realistic/pragmatic cinema or for enthusiasts of meaningful/significant cinema or those who disregard masala films. No, nope, naah... this one's austerely not for them!
There's talk that RASCALS is the present-day adaptation of Dhawan's Anil Kapoor - Govinda starrer DEEWANA MASTANA and like that film, RASCALS will have a similar finale. Well, RASCALS is an entire new film in terms of story, setting and of course, gags and punches. The storyline is non-existent, but what works is the electrifying chemistry between the two lead men -- Sanjay Dutt and Ajay Devgn. When two actors share a terrific rapport in real life, it automatically spills over on screen too, if they share screen space. That's one of the reasons why the give and take between Ajay and Sanju adds to the fun quotient in this film. Borrowing from Tom and Jerry kind of situations, the actors contribute a great deal in living up to the title of the film.
On the flip side, in the second half, there are some unnecessary sequences that only add to the length in this over the top comedy.
Sanjay Dutt and Ajay Devgn play two cool conmen trying to outdo each other. The competition reaches an all-new level when both fall for the same girl, the pretty and petite Kangna Ranaut, and both men constantly attempt to outmanoeuvre each other to win her.
Dhawan is in familiar zone and therefore, it doesn't take much of an effort to get it right. Writer Yunus Sajawal keeps you completely involved thanks to the series of incidents that follow one after another and the witty one-liners [dialogue: Sanjay Chhel] only act as sone pe suhaaga. In fact, the dialogue would draw a lot of whistles and claps from the aam junta. The soundtrack [Vishal-Shekhar] is energetic, complimenting the content of the movie. 'Tik Tuk', 'Gaye Guzre' and 'Shake It Saiyaan' are hummable.
Sanju and Ajay work together with an exuberant and high spirited ease and that, surely, is a joy to watch. Even though Sanju has been doing comedies ever since the beginning of his career, it has only been in the last few years that Ajay has discovered his funny bone, courtesy films like GOLMAAL series, ALL THE BEST and DIL TOH BACCHA HAI JI. The comic timing of the two actors is simply fantastic!
On the whole, RASCALS is a madcap, over the top, zany entertainer aimed at the masses. It's hilarious and outrageous from commencement to conclusion. If this kind of humor appeals to you, then there are chances that you will relish this one!
