Madame Sangeeta spat out this effort in a matter of days with the idea of repeating a winning formula she had struck with her recent Punjabi smash Sher e Lahore. This film follows the same hackneyed, violent and vulgar path that Sher e Lahore adopted and is hoping to match the latter's box office muscle in the coming weeks.

Basically the movie is more of the same……..Chaudhary blood feuds - a succession of posturing and shouting scenarios punctuated at regular intervals with a raunchy dahnuss (dance) set to the rasping vocals of hot property Naseebo Lal. The singer, evoking memories of the late great Madame Noor Jehan with her earthy, nasal delivery, has already assumed a massive presence in the Punjab where producers have taken to displaying her name prominently on advertising billboards along with the director and stars! This was an honour that only the great Madame ji was ever accorded. Naseebo may not yet be in Madame ji's league and may never be, but she is certainly a worthy talent and follow up to a legend and in time might well create a legend of her own.

Dada Badmash involves a typically infantile plot of clan animosity with the usual ingredients of murder and revenge dominating. Comical bloodbaths dominate proceedings with some respite in the form of some seriously saucy gyrating by Saima, Meera and Resham that leaves little to the imagination. Shaan does his Sultan Rahi impersonation to good effect while Moammar Rana tries his utmost to appear manly and aggressive and exude the requisite levels of machismo that Punjabi cinema demands. Poor fellow has had to assume this manic, deranged persona in order to survive in an industry dominated by the Badmash genre. Saud has a very brief role (mercifully) which suggests a badly faltering career; expect to see lots of him on TV shortly. Veteran Yusuf Khan plays the title role of the yeti-like Dada Badmash and does a sterling job of looking supremely 'ghairatmand' (righteous) or comical depending on your point of view. There is a shocker of an actor paired with Resham who does his utmost to appear in another realm of machismo altogether despite looking (and behaving) like an eleven year old. No doubt he is a young actor with a bright future even if he is possibly the worst actor we may have ever yet encountered!

The glamour is provided by Saima who seems to be more top heavy with each advancing year or is it just those plasticky, pvc type skin tight body hugging clothes that she's been given to wearing more and more these days that accentuate her already remarkable assets! She certainly knows how to thrust and heave in Lollywood's finest time honoured tradition. Meera too provides plenty of lewd, suggestive gyrations during her fabulous 'tip tip' number which is the pick of the numerous racy songs. Resham whose career has reached the point when she is being paired with debutant mutants shows that she is second to none in the pelvic thrust and bust jerk department as she proves in her Junglee Kabooter number. However, other than pelvic acrobatics, the girls don't really have much to do. It's a totally nonsensical film without plot nor reason………yet this kind of fare is staple diet these days and somehow or the other, the film going masses appear to be able to make some coherent sense out of them - a skill that seems to altogether have escaped us.
