Can you make a farce about a police force that accepts bribes, misuses its authority to break contracts to promote girl friends for its members and ultimately promotes criminals to kill each other in public? Well, you can make a farce about anything. Depending on how you handle it, it can actually be funny. This movie pulls out the stops in terms of reducing the war on crime to a sports-season elimination match and individual gunfights to video-game notation as one way of dehumanizing criminals, making their deaths funnier to an audience predisposed to dislike them anyway. Why it makes all the criminals Sikhs is not something that is clear to me, unless it's simply because its set in the Punjab.

It starts out with a screenwriter trying to talk a movie producer into buying his script. On hearing it has lots of heroes, criminals, jokes, a beautiful girl or six, and several dance numbers, the producer announces he has never read a script in his career and accepts. the writer insists on reading the script to him anyway.

Diljit Dosanjh wins a judo competition, which means he is hired to be a police captain at a small station. He has no training for the job, and he accepts the station door that falls off, the cow kept on the grounds, and is baffled by the computer on his desk. His first order of business is to acquire a girl friend, and he soon settles on statuesque newscaster Sunny Leone. His second order of business is to please his superior by wiping out crime in his precinct. His means of attaining this is to figure out who the criminals in his district are, then set them against each other. He and his staff keep charts like a elimination tournament while the bad guys eliminate each other, then claim that 'the police are always late' Miss Leone begins to catch on, and she disapproves of the unnecessary deaths.

It's clear me that there are many efforts made to dehumanize the characters in the movie, to make it easier to laugh at their bloody deaths. The movie makes it clear that it is a fiction. When the criminals are fighting, little eight-bit video game scores appear next to them as they get shot, knifed or hit by a brick. Just at the point where matters grow serious, there is a musical number.

These efforts are partially successful. It's not clear to me that someone involved in the production wasn't intent on satirically deconstructing the way things work, both in the corrupt real world and in movies. If so, it remains stuck deep in the subtext of the film.

Some of the jokes worked. Some didn't.

ARJUN PATIALA REVIEW :-

Bollywood doesn't really have good watchable Spoof comedies and the reasons could be, no availability of such script and Audience being not interested in that genre because that stuff is easily available on internet. The reason we call such films illogical because that mindset is not there in matured audience, that genre suits to Kids and we barely have Kids audience to make a film Hit. Arjun Patiala is one such film which can be called a childish stuff, kids and some other immature audience can bear it but not the Regular Cinegoers. It will be disliked by the large section of Intelligent audience and of course intellectual Critics.

Let's come to the story, it is a Film in the Film and then we have a writer telling the script. Diljit Dosanjh Plays Arjun Patiala, a judo champion turned into an Honest and Responsible Police Officer. He meets Kriti Sanon who is Bijli se Tejj (Faster than lightening) aka Ritu Randhawa, a News Reporter and the affair, romance continues. Varun Sharma plays Onidda Singh who is junior officer and a good friend of Arjun, Ronit Roy is ACP, Seema Pahwa is MLA of the area and then there are 5 Villains in the mainstream film. Sunny Leone's Cameo is good for nothing. How Arjun Patiala cleans the city and makes it crime free, and then how he gets caught into a conspiracy is all about the story. Does he succeed beating the baddies or not? Get the anwers in the film.

Honestly, Arjun Patiala is overdose of spoof comedy which might make you leave the film half-way through. The parody style is gone case, outdated and repeatative. All the cast members looks good on screen but hardly gets a chance to present thier acting skills. Music and Screenplay are totally dead. The editor does the good job by ending this headache in 100 minutes. Direction skills are never seen despite having high production value. Overall, Arjun Patiala is a Bad Film or one can say almost a Crap to Skip for so many reasons. Watch it only and only if you want to find your one.

RATING- 2/10*

The hero is a cop. Inspired by his guru, he aims for a 'crime free' society. But he doesnt eliminate the criminals himself. He creates a situation wherein it appears as if a gang war is going on n the gangsters kill each other. The heroine is a television reporter, but im not too sure if she knows her job. #ArjunPatiala is supposed to be a humorous film, but only some scenes n dialogues r funny. The short running time is a bonus. Good performances by dosanjh, sharma, ayyub. Music is bad. Rating 2/5.
