**Generic spoilers on theme of the film**

I've given this movie a rating 1 out of 10. Not many movies deserve to be rated so low...this isn't just me overreacting but simply what a terrible waste of time this movie really is.

Everyone would know what the plot of the movie was going to be, the reason for watching it would be execution and humor. The film fails miserably on both counts. The humor is full of pathetic clichéd Mumbaiya tapori language and dialogues like that one sued to see in 80s and 90s bollywood trash...and it is relentless at that.

Rich snob man, poor guy with great talent...beautiful rich woman falling for a guy who lives in a chawl.

Gone is the era of the colonial hangover where rich were shown as extremely arrogant and snobs and the unrealistic pathetic romanticization Raja Hindustani like situation.

I laughed exactly once during the movie and cringed for most of the time as to how horrible and pedestrian the entire execution was.

First wrong movie choice by Nawazuddin since he became popular.

Please don't waste your money and more importantly time on this movie. Clearly no one worked hard at any aspect of this movie to try and make this movie a good experience for the viewers.

You can't expect much from Sohail Khan, or the whole Khan brigade, at least when it comes to directing or writing films. His latest feature is more like a skit played by a bunch of primary school students for their school's poorly-organized annual gathering.

Ali (Nawazuddin Siddiqui) is an orphan who used to work as an undergarment seller and a contract hooligan before realizing that he can play golf like Tiger Woods. Along with his friend and associate Maqsood (Arbaaz Khan),he signs up for a National golf tournament and aims to dethrone Peter (Jas Arora),a vanity-filled top golfer, and make some good money out of it. The story is basically a riches-to- rags one where Ali has to fight odds to come out as an achiever.

One is honestly tired of this setup, which has been sampled millions of times in mostly all kinds of art in the world. But, then, you would think that the makers must have added some good old humor into this concoction so as to make it appealing. Sorry to break it out to you, but neither is there any quality comedy in the narrative nor is the existing any edible. One-line jokes that can be best described as PJs (in Mumbai parlance) are all there is in the story, which is otherwise as banal as its box office competitor's (Baar Baar Dekho).

Siddiqui tries to single-handedly salvage the film, but a ceiling with only one pillar supporting it cannot save itself from a storm. It is upsetting to watch Khan in a role that he himself won't be proud of. Seems Biswas is the only person playing a sensible character in the film, and let me not even start about Nikitin Dheer and foul-mouthed Jackie Shroff. I went to the restroom for few minutes and missed somehow Amy Jackson.

All in all, the show is about a lucky person who just happens to manage some flukes in few games of golf, which is as baffling and enigmatic as the possibility and nature of the romance between Ali and his girlfriend, Megha.

BOTTOM LINE: Sohail Khan's "Freaky Ali" is a film made of zero imagination and creativity. Wait for TV premiere, but do see what's on in Star Gold or &Pictures.

Can be watched with a typical Indian family? YES

Nawazuddin Siddiqui is likable and talented and his character is conquering your soul. It is a simple story about a poor habitual man, followed by bad luck, which, due to his skills, becomes a great golfer. Music is really cool. Amy Jackson is a very nice presence. A good Bollywood among so many very bad.
