Tom Dick And Harry is a roller coaster ride with three physically impaired people – deaf, blind and dumb. Though the three have one or the other shortcoming, it would be wrong to believe that they could be taken for a ride, because each of the three have something that others may not have – a power to sense something which a man on the street doesn't possess.

Laughter is the best medicine. And that’s exactly what Tom Dick And Harry offers in ample doses. This feel-good entertainer has enough funny moments to give your cheekbones adequate exercise for the day.

Inspired by the play see no evil hear no evil, Tom Dick And Harry scores high points in the treatment department.Despite the inspiration ,director Tijori is still confident enough to steer the story onto its own track and to its logical, or illogical, conclusion. It moves at a brisk pace throughout and succeds in keeping one engrossed, giving the viewer no time to blink an eyelid. Also, there are enough surprises, which spring up at the right time, adding flavour to the proceedings.

 

Celina is the item of this particular story and has to put up with a large band of admirers – Dino, Anuj and Jimmy et al. All the admirers con and double cross each other to win Celina’s heart and love… until it all comes to a head ....

Director Deepak Tijori’s storytelling, aided by deft screenplay, make the film an enjoyable fare. The writer has packaged enough hilarious moments to tickle the viewer’s funny bone.Don’t go looking hard for logic or common sense; this is one of those brainless comedies. However, it teeters on the right side of brainless and provides a few laughs.

Tom Dick And Harry is a masala potpourri of the entertaining kind – the kind that other directors like David Dhawan and Priyadarshan have forgotten how to make. Tijori’s succeeds in stirring the mixture – a blend of affectionate masala spoof, action and crazy love triangles – with each ingredient balanced in just the right doses.

 

The different path the three men choose and their antics have been handled cleverly, giving an altogether new dimension to the film. The writing and execution of these portions is what takes the graph of the film upwards.

On the whole, Tom Dick And Harry boasts of some rib-tickling comedy, which is also its USP. The light moments, coupled with witty dialogues, should attract the attention of the youth - its target audience.
