Golmaal shouldnt have returned!

I had high hopes from Golmaal returns. Had an argument with my father who wanted to watch fashion but I insisted on going for Golmaal because I wanted to see a film where I can give my brain some rest. So instead of getting into a theatre airing a though provoking Madhur Bhandarkar film, I bought tickets for GR way in advance. But surprise surprise!! You don’t need brains to watch this flick!
