Sajid’s Humshakals attempts a crazy entertainer yet again, but peppers it with inane, ridiculous episodes that makes you wonder, is this for real? I mean, there's a drug that would make you behave like a dog for a day... a sneeze that could make someone so infuriated that he bays for your blood; the only way to calm him down is by offering him a lollipop... a spray can transform men into sex-maniacs... a comatose patient can be alright when people start fidgeting with the medical apparatus, thinking it to be some sort of a video game... oh yes, there's a Prince Charles look-alike too, who breaks into Hindi in a bizarre climax. Humshakals begins on a promising note, it's a premise ripe with comic potential, and the graph only spirals southwards barely fifteen minutes into the film. It's not sacrilege to attempt a no-brainer, the audience loves it but the laughter should never be in short supply. The movie drains you at the end of it, despite the actors putting their best foot forward and trying very hard to make you giggle even when the gags are weak. The banal jokes and the lame PJs coupled with the muddled screenplay are clearly responsible for the royal mess. The good thing is that Humshakals belongs to Riteish, who proves, yet again, that he has an incredible timing for comedy. Watch him in all three roles and you'd agree, he adds so much to the sequences!
