Warning: Spoilers
Sajid Khan is one of the weird species to enter bollywood, he was a good stand up comedian but when he became a director he suddenly became too egoistic and feels he is a great filmmaker. Ever since Hey Babyy(2007) to Housefull Series he showed his weird sense of humour which people like, he calls himself a self obsessed 80s fan which shows in his crap cinema. He made the trash remake of HIMMATWALA which flopped badly and he went into oblivion Back to Humshakkals The film as per rumours is a remake of Angoor which hopefully as Sajid Khan has mentioned is not intentioned, because poor Sanjeev Kumar's soul would be trembling. Btw Sajid claims this film to be a tribute to Kishore Kumar, Russel Peters and Jim Carrey which is a real shame because the film doesn't even stand close to the worst trash made by David Dhawan,Priyadarshan. The film has a triple role of all 3 actors. The film has such an obscure plot it makes you cringe, of course comedies don't have plots or a thin plot but this film is really stupidity at it's height. It has Scientist create a drug MAD which makes people act like dogs, people coming out of coma after someone fidgeting with the ventilators, Cocaine Parathas, Vodka Parathas and what not! In the end the scientist makes a plastic surgery of 2 gays and makes them Saif and Ritiesh.... The mental assylm scenes try too hard to be funny, while some scenes involving the confusion between the double roles are funny but the entire climatic nonsense is purely stupidity.There make a mockery of Prince Charles who speaks Hindi and Marathi.

Direction by Sajid Khan is worst Music is typical Sajid Khan style

Saif Ali Khan is hardly known for such comedies, especially post DCH while he suits for romcom comedies, he seems out of place in such a genre, he overdoes it terribly, sadly he seems to follow the director who is a ham in himself Ritiesh is the only actor who impresses, but he has done such roles too often now Ram Kapoor is terrific in all roles and does full justice though at times he hams too much and it's a terrible sight to see him in a girl outfit which is also one gimmick in the film which seems done to death. Amongst heroines Bipasha has hardly anything to do, Tamanna(with a dubbed voice perhaps) is also nothing great, Esha Gupta is okay There hardly get focus. Satish Shah is hilarious, Chunky Pandey is as usual in a cameo Nawab Shah is okay, Suresh Menon has one scene, Darshan Jhariwala is okay

*The director pokes fun at himself by having Satish Shah torture Saif and Ritiesh showing Himmatwala, while in the end he shows Tees Maar Khan, well perhaps in next film he will show this film too.
