In the 1970s and 1980s, Bollywood churned out hardcore masala films by the dozens. Those films appealed to the 'Balcony Class' as well as the 'Stall Audience' [terminology used for dissecting the audience then]. Even today, films like SHOLAY, AMAR AKBAR ANTHONY, NAMAK HALAAL, DON, ROTI KAPADA AUR MAKAAN, DHARAM-VEER, MUQADDAR KA SIKANDAR et al, the most popular films of that era, appeal to the guy riding an auto rickshaw as well as the CEO of a multinational company. Masala films, in my opinion, can never go out of vogue. The gargantuan success of films like DABANGG and GOLMAAL 3 last year endorses this viewpoint.
The reason why masala films tick to this date is because they have the power to entertain. I've often heard my non-film friends comment that cinema, for them, symbolizes an outing with their family. They want to be transported to a world of make-believe in those 3 hours and forget their worries/sorrows/trials/tribulations in the process. YAMLA PAGLA DEEWANA does that and does so most convincingly.

u must belong to grouo of bird-brain morons... srk accomodating sunny in darr... what a joke... srk was noone at the time and he litterally sucked up chopras to give him more role in the movie... as for being in a league... dharam and sunny are in a league of their own... every star had their time... but stardom acheived by dharam and to an extent sunny can only be a dream for media created fake khans...

One of the best komdie film. Deols did it this time. As film with the house full, all the pride movie so much. Recommend the movie, watch it. Do not read late Raja review. He gave 2 stars to 3idiots and it shows how the difference between him and everyone else.
