AR Entertainments’ Ajab Tamasha (UA) is a comedy film with an apology of a story and screenplay written by Hassan Pasha. The comedy is so feeble that it hardly evokes laughter. Hassan Pasha and Nayeem Ahmed’s dialogues don’t add much to the dull drama.
Performances are pathetic. Hrithik Sharma (as Bablu) is dull. Tanuja Thakur is weak as Sunaina. Akbar bin Tabar tries hard to impress as Nawab but fails. Samar Shukla is average as Rani Maa. Muskan Mujabar (as Begun), Nayeem Ahmed (as Kadak Singh), Amit Kumar Agarwal (as Janardhan), Rubeen Mujabar (as John), baby Kashish Agarwal and baby Pranavi Joshi lend dull support.
Nayeem Ahmed’s direction is rather poor. Satish Sharma’s music and lyrics are dull. Background music (by Ganesh Surve and Mukul Kashikar) is weak. Ramu Guduthuri’s camerawork is below the mark. Sartaj’s editing leaves a lot to be desired.
On the whole, Ajab Tamasha will meet with a disastrous fate at the turnstiles.
Released on 3-11-’23 at Glamour (daily 1 show) and another cinema of Bombay thru Laxmi Entertainment. Publicity & opening: very dull. …….Also released all over. Opening was weak everywhere.
