Movie review: Dolly Ki Doli is an entertainer with a half-baked plot

Debutant director Abhishek Dogra’s film Dolly ki Doli is a half implemented idea of a ‘looteri dulhan’ running away with all the moolah on the first night of her marriage.
 
The plot revolves around Dolly (Sonam Kapoor) and her gang of con men who are in the lookout for rich, eligible bachelors whom she can get married to and then loot them of all their belongings (sometimes even bare essentials like bras and panties) on the first night itself.

The film becomes monotonous after a while, especially when the gang starts repeating the same loot strategy again and again. After the gang successfully executes a couple of their plans, we are introduced to Inspector Robin (Pulkit Samrat) who gets more than just interested in busting the gang. The audience is simply left to guess why? till the second half of the film arrives.

Malaika Arora Khan’s jhatka for jhatka qualifies to be a life saver for the audience at the beginning of the film. In fact, the item number provides the audience with much needed mileage to sit through the monotony. To your surprise, you would notice the otherwise serious actor Rajkumar Rao shaking a leg with Khan and yet standing out considerably.

Sonam Kapoor is undoubtedly the beauty quotient of the film and the audience goes awww with every bat of her eye lashes. Supporting actors make a mark more than the lead actress herself. Kapoor’s expressions remain the same all through the film, more like a barbie doll with plastic emotions.

Standing by the terms and conditions of commercial cinema in Bollywood, Dolly ki Doli doesn’t make logical sense, yet turns out to be an entertainer. 

Right from the stern Haryanvi, Sonu Sehrawat played by Rao to the dominating and conservative Punjabi mother in law Archana Puran Singh, we are introduced to a series of interesting characters at regular intervals. The weakness of the plot is at times covered up by strong performances.

Dolly ki Doli is an entertainer with noticeable loopholes in the plot. Despite the half baked script, it is worth a watch.
