after making social films like ‘rang de basanti’ and ‘delhi 6’ , rakeysh omprakash mehra is turning to comedy with his latest production ‘teen thay bhai’ , which he says completely desi in its appeal .
they say ‘where there is a will , there is a way’… there is a will here but the way here is certainly out . teen thay bhai is a walkout . rather don’t step in !

' teen thay bhai ' is the story of three brothers distanced by life and brought together by a clause in their grandfather ' s will , at an isolated snowed - out cabin . the lighthearted comedy sees them battle love and life to win the most important thing : each other .
' he posted the picture , which also included rakeysh , and put up a note , which read - ' teen thay bhai aur ek mein ' . he also mentioned the release date . it is really nice of him to do this , ' said the publicist of the film .
“once they became familiar with each other , chemistry started building in . this was very important because otherwise actors sometimes just land on sets and start reporting for the shoot without any preparations . none of that happened in case of ‘teen thay bhai’ , ” says mehra who had last worked with a ensemble cast in ‘delhi 6′ .
pvr pictures ltd . and rakeysh omprakash mehra pictures ' 3 thay bhai ( ua ) is the story of three brothers whose grandfather dies , leaving behind property worth crores of rupees , which they can inherit subject to some conditions .
teen thay bhai is a story of three brothers who are forced to spend their time together because of their grandfather ' s will . later they fight over their ancestral property as they must fulfil their late grandfather ' s wishes , to get it . the movie was directed by rakeysh omprakash mehra under the banner of pvr and rakeysh om prakash mehra pictures .
teen thay bhai is , in fact , more in the league of the recent gross - out hollywood comedies . it transposes them to a rustic punjabi setting , even throwing in scenes of a punjabi ramlila gone wrong . the tone is loud , the character and performance of both puri and talpade are deliberately over - the - top , jokes are bawdy and the humour scatological .
“‘teen thay bhai’ is ‘desi’ not just for the sake of it . it was the requirement of the subject that we bring in ‘desi’ elements in the film’s screenplay . if there was an urban set of brothers then the story wouldn’t have worked and the film would have fallen apart , ” says mehra , who handed over the reins of direction to first timer mrigdeep singh lamba .

the story of teen thay bhai is not set in gulmarg , but rakesyh omprakash mehra chose the hill station nestled between the snow - clad himalayas because he had never seen a more beautiful location .
just before the crew left for the location , a lot of people scared me , saying kahaan jaa rahe ho . but i had gone there for an earlier recce and i found the place stunningly beautiful and there was no way i was going to change my mind ,
said the director , who shot 85 percent of the film over 45 days there .
it ' s an immensely standard setup , but there is so much that can be done with it . the filmmakers , perplexingly and exasperatingly , however , seem to believe that merely getting three fine actors is enough . had they locked these three men away in a house with just this setup as an acting exercise brief , i can wager they would have improvised something significantly stronger than this . chameleonic artists all , they ' d have dug their teeth into the challenge and provided definite fireworks . teen thay bhai cruelly handcuffs them with a peculiar script and never really gives them any elbow room .
om puri , who occasionally gets the chance to be shockingly cruel in this film , revels in his ruthlessness . each , as said earlier , shines every now and then , but on the whole , they seem as bored with the film as the people watching it . there is some fun texture , it must be said . the actor playing the young om has quite a resemblance with the puri of benegal / nihalani vintage ; the use of those mosquito - killer tennis rackets as instruments of torture ; and , okay , well , that ' s pretty much it , really . and producer rakeysh omprakash mehra ' s obsession with the ramayana - - the ram / ravan dichotomy prominent in both aks and delhi 6 before this - - continues here , to unnecessary effect . loud and inert at the same time , teen thay bhai is a film to be shunned simply because of how cruelly it treats three actors we should treasure . rediff rating :

getting permission to shoot in gulmarg , which is 52 kilometres from srinagar , is easier than any other place in the world , according to mehra .
the entire town of gulmarg and the villages around came to help us when we were shooting . even the home ministry and the chief minister were very helpful ,
recalled the director .
if anything played spoilsport it was the weather . in the first six days no shooting could take place because of heavy snowfall .
we entered the hotel through the lobby on the first day , but the next day we had to go out through the second floor window as the snow had piled up to that level ! the army was called to clear up the snow on the roads so that we could travel to the bungalow where we were shooting . it was just 15 minutes away but we took a while to get there ,
said mehra . he explained that the film which is based in the mountains , is about three brothers who hate each other but are forced to come together because of a clause in their grandfather ' s will .

at last indian cinema has started following the european art and plots . excellent movie , entertaining and great actors . you will enjoy this movie even more if you are a punjabi . this movie shows that how a small budget and excellent direction can result into a full entertainment . i cannot find any fault in this movie . but if you like bogus adult comedies than you may not like this movie because its only healthy comedy . its a family movie so do not hesitate to take your elders to watch this movie . om puri and shreyas have done extremely well . the story revolves around a mountain and three brothers . its a completely different experience . must watch .

brothers battling over ancestral property – has been a familiar fodder for masala movies since ages . but when rakeysh mehra produces a comedy on the same formula , you expect it to be a smart satire . sadly what you get is a slapstick !
so you have three brothers who can’t stand the sight of each other but still have to coexist for a couple of days , every year to subsequently acquire their ancestral assets , as per their grandpa’s will . the eldest brother is the choleric chiksi gill ( om puri ) who frequently fumes and farts . the second brother happy gill ( deepak dobriyal ) is a dentist whose ultimate fantasy is ironing clothes because his long - lost girlfriend ( ragini khanna ) was a pro at it . third is a wannabe actor fancy gill ( shreyas talpade ) who’s so obsessed with his pup that you feel the film is going to the dogs .
they slap , bite , kick , tie and roast each other in their himalayan heritage house to the extent that you wish they were better - off ‘home alone’ . outside its snowing and inside the house , the chemistry between the characters seems cold and the flow of the story seems frozen . the proceedings get monotonous within the confines of the single - setting plot , until when the narrative cuts into a random and redundant flashback to explain how each brother broke ties with dadaji dear ( yograj singh ) and abandoned house .
all of sudden the stagnant story goes into a trance with the trio dancing alongside doped girls amidst snowy landscapes . further they are imprisoned where they bicker so badly about each other that it feels you are watching a daily soap where the brothers have replaced the
. if that is not enough , a cop tortures them using vacuum cleaners , electric flyswatters and waxing strips . but as they are physically tormented , you go through a mental trauma .
is one of the most incoherent screenplays to have come out in a long long time . the storytelling lacks direction and there is hardly any density to the vague plot . also director mrigdeep singh lamba seems terribly confused about the tone he wants to impart to certain scenes . for instance , at first glimpse you never realize whether the confrontation between dadaji and the eldest brother was supposed to be serious or spoofy . at times , jokes are stretched beyond their expiry date . and after the horrible horseplay , it’s silly of the director to end the film with a moral message on brotherhood . the sundry sensibilities just don’t gel .
with almost the entire narrative opening in and around the house , the snowcapped setting of himachal pradesh makes no sense since cinematographer ashok mehta doesn’t get to explore much of the exquisite exteriors . daler mehendi keeps crooning
’ . the broken english that shreyas speaks through the film appears forced after a point of time . and the romance track between deepak dobriyal and ragini khanna is too half - baked to register .
even the immensely talented cast cannot make the film bearable . om puri’s character seems so frustrated that it gets on your nerves subsequently . deepak dobriyal underplays his character but fails to impress this time . shreyas talpade seems to be in
mode . it’s shocking to see ragini khanna not being explored beyond her electrifying smile . yograj singh is more melodramatic than prithviraj kapoor was in
they say ‘where there is a will , there is a way’ . . . there is a will here but the way here is certainly out .

proves that actors with comic timing aren ' t everything , because while each of the actors - - particularly the awesome dobriyal - - conjures up a couple of genuinely strong laughs apiece , the director doesn ' t really know the art of telling a joke .
debutant mrigdeep singh lamba sets up several gags but never quite sees them through , leaving us bored and waiting for the pay - off . in a rather reckless attempt at reaching all audiences , he tries hard to pack his film with something for everybody : scatological humour ; overdone bursts of melodrama ; marijuana - laced parathas ; threestooges - giri . as a result , nobody quite goes back happy . three brothers who loathe each other have to , in accordance with their late grandfather ' s will , spend a couple of nights together each year in a snowed out ramshackle old cottage . if they manage to spend six days there , spread over three years , then they get the cottage and the hill on it , a property valued very highly indeed .
dobriyal , the pick of the bunch here , brings his unique brand of hilarious earnestness to the part , while talpade , trying hard to fly free , has his wings clipped by very poorly written dialogue .
what is a r rahman doing at a dubai mall ? reader talib sends us a picture .
om puri wears a ski cap that says nice . but he ' s as nasty as a shopkeeper who sells
strings and trouser elastic can be . deepak dobriyal is a daft dentist who dreams of opening a drycleaning shop someday . and
as chixi , happy and fancy gill , brothers who hate each other and are bound by their grandfather ' s will to guard his ashes till three years after his death , the three actors are a riot . there are fart jokes , lots of humour involving ladies ' underwear , and canine torture . the film was to have been called mad , madder , maddest and as the adventure shot for 44 days in snow bound kashmir valley unfolds , it seems quite justified .
for those who love marijuana paranthas , a police officer who inflicts torture with household objects and slapstick action soaked in desi whisky , this is pungent , often puerile fun . the one - eyed grandfather is played by yograj singh , father of yuvraj , with great gusto . ragini khanna who plays dobriyal ' s love interest is fresh , with a smile that stretches from jalandhar to jammu .
remember you need to have the stomach to laugh at lines such as this : o , topless house . just american cars and babes . more than a working knowledge of punjabi is also essential .

some comedies mean well . but they lose their way in their noble intentions .
seems like a terrific idea for a comedy . three brothers separated more at mirth than by birth , trying hard to keep the spirit alive . they fail miserably , not for the want of trying .
the script here depends too much on extraneous trappings , too little on integral assets . there ' s no scarcity of acting talent here . shreyas talpade , deepak dobriyal and om puri shine in that order . . . alas , they have no meat to sink their sharp teeth in . often we see the actor groping and grappling with material that doesn ' t give them a chance to move beyond the immediate laughter of a situational comedy . beyond the sound of current laughter there ' s no hereafter in the humour .
the static snowcapped location doesn ' t help either . the three principal actors seem as frozen in their efforts to rise above the stagnant humour as the snowy landscape in jammu where veteran cinematographer ashok mehta tries desperately to find a centre in the meandering mirth .
the script has the seeds of an engaging satire . but the story never takes off . minimalist props and background music don ' t help drive away the feeling of growing boredom that clutches at the throat of this vapid tale of three brothers who could kill each other with sibling friction and kill us with sheer boredom .
towards the end , the plot shifts out a snow - strapped cottage into the outdoors where the brothers are assailed by hippy women who feed them with parathas filled with marijuana . by this time the script has completely run out of tricks to hold our attention . a climax with a giant steamroller as the villain is just about all that we are left looking at .
is like one of those books whose backflap synopsis offers us tempting insights into human nature . but by the time we settle down to the experience the plot has betrayed its own interests .
in the league of the recent gross out hollywood comedies . the tone is loud , jokes are bawdy and scatological humour is in full flow
t he jokey title track of the film , written by gulzar , pretty much sums up its spirit . it’s about three brothers who can’t see eye to eye but are forced to spend two days a year together , for three years in a row , to honour a clause in their grandfather’s will . how does that bring about a change in their relationship ? that’s for us to discover .
we meet them in the third year , in a snowed out , isolated cottage in manali . chixy gill ( om puri ) is a petty businessman trying to get his daughters married , happy gill ( deepak dobriyal ) is a dentist who dreams of becoming a dry - cleaner and fancy gill ( shreyas talpade ) is a struggling actor of punjabi movies with dreams of making it big in hollywood . chixy , happy and fancy might sound like chico , harpo , groucho , gummo , zeppo , ie , the marx brothers , but are no match for classic marx bros zaniness .
the film , an adaptation of a play , has long scenes played out inside the cottage , which give a proscenium feel . it depends on the characters and their chemistry with each other . sometimes that works , like the sequences where happy tries to take a swig from chixy’s bottle . but the script doesn’t offer interesting situations , nor sparkling dialogue to add zing to the characters and their stupidities . it feels laboured , like fancy’s bad english ( infection for affection ) and the film gets gradually unsustainable as the plot meanders to include stoned german tourists and a buffoon of a cop .
the film is watchable for dobriyal , who manages a nuanced performance even in a broad slapstick . the other star is the awesome landscape and those beautiful snowflakes in gulmarg . besides , you can also discover here the father of yuvraj singh , who had been a superstar of punjabi films . beyond that there’s not much to recommend .

mehra , who has produced the movie starring om puri , shreyas talpade and deepak dobrial , says is very rooted in its indianness .
there is no item song to add glamour in the movie , which revolves around the antics of the three brother and mehra admits that they went by instinct when it came to picking up the cast .
“we actually went by instinct when it came to casting . of course there was a process behind it all but there was no conscious call . we did keep in mind that the three actors had to look compatible , ” he adds .
once the principal cast was put together , there were workshops conducted to ensure that puri , talpade and dobriyal became familiar with each other .
“a lot of hard work has been put together before the shooting . in fact our actors had come on board quite early and they spent good time brainstorming on how they would approach a scene .

specially ordered or commissioned
work because it is undisputed that there is no signed writing that evidences any agreement between thomas and james or ynot that the work
shall be considered a work made for hire .

the screenplay , dodgeball : the movie (
dodgeball
) , was written between january and march 2001 . 11 during that time , james had suggested several changes that were rejected by thomas and never made their way into the script , including the following : james wanted the character of gordo to be less offensive and to be portrayed as an artist ; he wanted to change the portion of the screenplay that described the childhood of

to ready themselves for the movie , ben stiller , vince vaughn , and the rest of the actors ran indoor dodgeball drills at what many of them have since described as a “ boot camp . ” according to stiller , this basically consisted of “us at a gym a few times a week playing dodgeball . ” while that may not sound too intense , the physicality of these sessions took its toll on the performers . “it’s a game for the young , ” stiller said . “it’s one thing when you’re eight , but when you’re 38 , it gets really exhausting . after three or four minutes , you’re fried . ” practicing at his side was stiller’s wife , christine taylor , who plays kate veatch of the average joe’s squad in dodgeball .

however , not all hope is lost : if peter and his ragtag group of regulars can raise the $ 50 , 000 needed to cover peter ' s deficit payments , then average joe ' s will be saved from both the corporate and literal bulldozers . with little talent and a great deal of misplaced enthusiasm , their last hope rests in a national dodgeball tournament with a cash prize of exactly $ 50 , 000 . unfortunately , goodman learns of their plans and enters his own elite squadron , the globo gym purple cobras , into the tournament to take home the gold themselves and thwart their heart - warming underdog victory .

gang of hats : the dodgeball teams that average joe ' s and globo - gym compete against include a team of girl scouts ( who play in full uniform ) , a team of german bodybuilders , a team of lumberjacks , a team of break - dancers , and a team of japanese martial artists who play in their underwear . hilariously , average joe ' s unintentionally becomes one when a botched package delivery forces them to play their first match wearing s & m gear .

at some point between march and may 2001 , a copy of the dodgeball screenplay was given to chris taylor at icm , a talent agency . 17 shortly thereafter , a document was created at icm summarizing and criticizing dodgeball ( the
icm coverage
) . 18 the upper left - hand corner of each page of that document contains the notation :
author : ashoka thomas ,
and there are several references to the author or writer in the singular form . 19 james had access to and read the icm coverage at or about the time it was issued . 20 in march 2001 , thomas and james met with shaun redick at the william morris agency and gave him a copy of dodgeball . 21 redick subsequently testified that thomas is the author of the work . 22

the fantastic thing about dodgeball isn’t just its primary cast though . the secondary cast , which has about a billion cameos that must be seen to be properly experienced , is just as successful as the lead actors . where dodgeball ’s script really succeeds is in that it doesn’t waste a single one of its actors . nobody is just there to be cool , every notable actor who appears gets golden dialogue as well . it’s a real testament to thurber’s skills as a writer and director , properly handling everyone in the background , from sports commentators played by gary cole and jason bateman , to a brief appearance by chuck norris . too many movies get good stars to put in brief appearances and then miss good opportunities to use them . dodgeball lives up to its ad campaign by grabbing each member of its cast by the balls and utilizing them to their fullest potential .
just as in the movie , where espn8 treated dodgeball matches as an even bigger deal than nba summer league games , espnu’s version of the ocho will showcase competitions not often given national television exposure .
book ends : the movie begins and ends with a commercial of a successful gym and the viewer looking like a slob and grumbling ,

what do you remember most about making dodgeball ? i remember having a lot of fun making the movie . it was so ridiculous when we were doing it , i remember doing scenes where i was feeling kind of embarrassed because i thought it’s so ridiculous , and the movie was not necessarily a guaranteed success . in terms of like moments that i remember , i remember chuck norris being there and that being very exciting . i remember he came in on a chopper – you’d probably expect nothing less . i remember doing the dodgeball scenes themselves , that being very involved .
patches insults his players by saying “it’s like watching a bunch of retards trying to hump a doorknob . ” this was in fact a reference to the 1980 u . s . olympic hockey coach herb brooks , who once said “it’s like watching a monkey trying to hump a football . ”

sports movies are a dime a dozen . we’ve seen movies about hockey and baseball , football and basketball… heck , i’m still waiting for the challenge of foosball brought to the big screen . . but all of those are more specialist stories , more of interest to the audience that are fans or players of that given sport . there’s one sport that seems to be a universal constant , played in schools across the country and hated in every one of those schools . it’s a sport of humiliation and degradation , and now somebody’s made a movie about it : dodgeball .
and while a long - discussed sequel to the film has never materialized , dodgeball fans scored the next best thing on wednesday morning when omaze launched a new charity campaign with a video that reunites the original cast . the clip , seen above , stars stiller as globo gym chief white goodman , who’s back to implore viewers to team up with him in omaze’s new contest . but , lo and behold , vaughn’s peter lafleur is on hand too , along with long and taylor , to represent the average joe’s . hilarity ensues and so does a request : fans are encouraged to pick a side by signing up via omaze’s website ( either urltoken or urltoken ) for the chance to play dodgeball with stiller himself . proceeds will benefit the stiller foundation , which supports education initiatives for children around the world .
the fact that stiller borrowed some of white goodman’s traits from tony perkis , the fanatical fat camp owner he played in 1995’s heavyweights , won’t surprise anyone who has seen both films . dodgeball ’s white goodman ( as played by stiller ) is a bombastic , egomaniacal fitness guru with some inherited wealth and major insecurities . the same description also applies to perkis . a lighthearted family comedy , heavyweights didn’t fare well at the box office , grossing a meager $ 17 . 6 million . as such , when stiller copied a few of perkis’s mannerisms in dodgeball , he figured that no one would notice . “i always thought , ‘well , nobody ever saw heavyweights , so i can do this , ” stiller recalled . “but a lot of people saw heavyweights … apparently , it shows on the disney channel a lot or something . ” regarding the two characters , stiller has said that perkis is “definitely a first or second cousin” to goodman .

gordon comes off as the least developed member of the average joe ' s team , and he gets the smallest share of lines . notably , though , he ' s the one who tells the rest of the guys about the dodgeball tournament ' s cash prize ( the rest of the characters had never even heard of competitive dodgeball before he brought it up ) , meaning that the movie ' s entire plot probably wouldn ' t have happened if it weren ' t for him .

gordon , she wrote , must channel his anger while “gordo must overcome his fear of using other people’s toilet paper . ” it may have been a while since a federal judge wrote a line like that .
running something along the lines as the 2017 championship of bags , a cornhole tournament , already has shown a glimmer of promise , however .
by far the most mysterious player in the purple cobras lineup is fran stalinovskovichdavidovitchsky , an eastern european all - star whom goodman calls “the deadliest woman on earth with a dodgeball . ” what’s the secret to her success ? well , in an early version of the screenplay , it’s revealed that fran is actually a robot in disguise . thurber ended up dropping the gag , which he considered too ridiculous—even by dodgeball ’s standards . however , when missi pyle of galaxy quest fame was cast as fran , the big twist hadn’t yet been cut . “initially , in the first script i read , she was a robot , like a sexy - bodied robot” pyle explained . the original plan was to slowly pan the camera up over a partly - exposed robo - fran—with her metallic face and fake breasts on full display—at some point in the climax .

now those memorable championship teams are facing off again , this time for charity . a new video by dodgeball auteur rawson marshall thurber shows stiller as white goodman offering viewers the chance to play on the purple cobras , only to be quickly challenged by vaughn , christine taylor ( stiller’s wife ) , and justin long from the average joes . there’s even a wrench toss , for nostalgia purposes .

among the most unusual offerings is the 2016 kabaddi world cup final at 7 a . m . tuesday . this features a team contact sport from india that requires a so - called raider to tag as many opposing players as possible and return to his team’s zone in a single breath .
vince vaughn and ben stiller are a comedy dream - team in this spastic - athletic comedy . dodgeball ' s combined humor , silliness and crudeness makes for an entertaining picture for audiences to laugh at . the film takes the sports trait of adversity and heroism and directly and superbly hits it with balls . 4 . 5 / 5
regrettably for fans of “dodgeball , ” it’s doubtful even the 2016 wftda roller derby championships , firefighters world challenge xxv or u . s . open ultimate championship will have announcers on par with gary cole’s cotton mcknight and jason bateman ’s pepper brooks from the film .
though characters are portrayed as working hard to attain a specific goal , given their behavior and their eccentricities , no one is a positive role model .
serious business : dodgeball , in this universe . there is a $ 50 , 000 annual tournament . it attracts , at least , germans and japanese people . one of the teams was ' inner city ' champs for consecutive years . chuck norris is on the panel to decide whether average joe ' s gets to play the final round . it is taken as seriously as a p . e . exercise can be .
