i watch the malayalam movie boeing boeing make in 1985 ( which in turn be probably inspire by an english movie of same name ) long back . the basic story of garam masala be the same but it be tell in a pathetic way and the classy joke replace by routine one which be find in normal hindi movie ( probably the director do this to suit the taste of hindi audience ) . i haven not see the english original . but have really enjoy the malayalam film ( make by priyadarshan himself ) which be a side splitting comedy and back then . of course the acting by mohanlal and mukesh and sukumari ( who do the cook role ) be so natural and spontaneous . probably and i be too smite by the malayalam film that i can not tolerate even the small flaw in it hindi remake . but i still feel that akshay kumar and john abraham have overact . paresh rawal have do a decent job but doesn not reach anywhere near sukumari . but all in all it ok and if one compare it to other recent hindi comedy movie .
