First Look: Daddy Cool

It’s the funeral of Daddy Cool Douglas Lazarus, but apart from tears, sad speeches and melancholia, there’s a wrong dead body, drug induced relatives, knife wielding wife, doddering old uncles and an underworld don.

K Murli Mohan Rao, who is the director last made Kahin Pyar Na Ho Jaaye with Salman Khan, which tanked and with this new film he hopes to revive both his career as a filmmaker and pump back comedy into the theatres at a time when most other films are not being able to set the cash registers ringing.

Aftab Shivdasani is joined in by Suniel Shetty, Ashish Chaudhary, Chunkey Pandey and Javed Jaffrey in this laugh riot. With characters making up an entire mental asylum, the story resolves around Good Son Steven Lazarus (Suniel Shetty), an aspiring writer trying to give his father a decent funeral by delivering a eulogy that includes a description of the rivers of Goa.

Prospective groom Michael (Aftab Shivdasani) to a cousin, Maria (Tulip Joshi) is nervous about meeting father-in-law and under the influence of a drug, he loses his mind. It turns out that Maria's junkie brother Harry (Chunky Pandey) has fed him a bottle of Relaxo.

Enter Blackmailer- Andrew (Rajpal Yadav) who has a scandalous secret about the deceased Douglas Daddy Cool Lazarus (Sharat Saxena). If this wasn’t enough, another melee of relatives are there to make a complete melange of madness and chaos even to leave the deceased with a wide smile on his face.

When StarBoxOffice contacted Aftab about the film, he said, "Daddy Cool will have you rolling off your seats with laughter. I have done many comedies in the past but Daddy Cool had me in splits every second minute. I had a blast shooting the film and I hope the audience enjoys it as much as we did."

Sounds familiar eh? The film is a copy of Death at a Funeral! You heard it here first.
