Daddy Cool (2009) *MQ*

By octron • Aug 28th, 2009 • Category: 2009, Comedy

Douglas Lazarus an upright, God-fearing Income Tax officer, is dead. It’s his funeral and what happens there is what the movie DADDY COOL is all about. The location is Goa and the mourners are close family and friends. There is also an intruder who hovers around the coffin. The family thinks him to be Douglas’ friend until he reveals his true identity. This turns the funeral house ‘upside down’. Prior to this, an unsuspecting capsule housed in a Relaxo bottle is the cause of much pain for Michael (Aftab Shivdasani) and a lot of fun on screen. What the capsule contains is some hallucinating drug managed by Harry (Chunkey Pandey), Michael’s to-be brother-in-law. Michael is administered the capsule by his girlfriend Maria (Tulip Joshi) because he is hyper about facing her father at the funeral. That one capsule begins the rout at the funeral. That is until the intruder; Andrew Symonds (Rajpal Yadav) makes known his intention.

So you can imagine the scene where the mourning family is already harassed when they are delivered the coffin with the wrong body minutes before the mourners arrive. Elder son Steven Lazarus (Suniel Shetty) is aghast. So is his mother, Suhasini Mullay. In the kitchen, Steven’s wife, Nancy (Aarti Chhabria) makes plans of shifting house. She finds this an ideal opportunity to get away from her nagging mother-in-law. But Steven’s younger brother Brian (Aashish Chowdry), a successful novelist living in Mumbai, prefers his pet dogs to his mother. Steve is in a fix!

Coming to the funeral are Carlos (Jaaved Jaffery), his wife Jenny (Kim Sharma) and friend Jim (Vrajesh Hirjee). Battered by his wife and bullied by his friends, Carlos takes everything with his chin up, until the shit hits the fan! Stumbling onto the scene of mourning is Ayesha (Sophie Choudhary), an aspiring model who will do whatever it takes to reach the top. She is looking out for her Carlos who told her he would be dressed in a black suit. As it turns out, she meets a room full of men in black!

Director K Murali Mohan Rao has helmed several interesting films in the past, but what’s this? Sure, DADDY COOL has a few entertaining moments, like the one when Rajpal Yadav reveals the secret [that Sharat Saxena was gay and Rajpal and he were lovers], but the remaining sub-plots fail to cut ice. Adding multiple sub-plots is fine as long as each sub-plot has something fascinating to say, but that’s missing here. Even the end is so bizarre, with members of this detached family suddenly professing love for one another.

With a weak screenplay on hand, there’s not much the actors can do. The ones who try hard and manage are Suniel Shetty, Jaaved Jaffery, Sophie Choudry, Chunky Pandey and Prem Chopra.On the whole, DADDY COOL fails to deliver what it promises - laughter and entertainment.
