Raj (Govinda) lives on his wife Kiran’s (Sushmita Sen)
money and moves to her beats. She provides everything
from his meals to his clothes. Suffocated and looking
for a way out he is having an affair...
Kiran is sophisticated and sexy. She is generous and a
loving wife. She is more successful than her husband,
she owns the company, the house and controls the purse
strings... and she also suspects that her husband is
upto something...
There is a mistress Dolly (Lara Dutta) who is hot enough
to burn. But she is also ditzy and naive. She believes
that her lover will leave his wife to marry her...
Gavardhan (Ritesh Deshmukh) is the pretended boyfriend
who is caught in the middle, who is in desperate need of
money for the treatment of his very sick mother. Raj
promises to pay him a large sum of money if he pretends
to be Dolly’s (the mistresses) boyfriend... so that the
suspicious wife is thrown off the scent...
Diesel Bhai
(Sohail Khan) is the actual ex-boyfriend of the mistress
whom she dumped to be with a married man. He is
genuinely in love with her, although he does have an
anger management problem.
Govinda, Lara Dutta & Sushmita Sen overact. Ritesh
Deshmukh is fine, and again Sohail Khan is unimpressive.
Instead the other characters - Manoj Phawa & Rajpal
Yadav are fantastic; who steal the show. Ranvir Shorey,
Himani Shivpuri, Satish Kaushik, Rituparna & Ali Asgar
are average.

Do Knot Disturb is about an awkward situation where
Govinda has been caught in a frame with his girlfriend
Dolly. This situation triggers of a series of events.
Incidentally Govardhan too is captured in the picture,
fortunately for Raj. This pic lands on Kiran's (his
wife) table. The doubting Kiran wants to get to the
bottom of her husband's affair. The puzzled wife hires a
detective to follow her husband. Here the husband who
wants to wriggle out of the situation, goes and tracks
down Govardhan (Riteish) and pays him to pretend to be
Dolly’s (his mistress) boyfriend.
Here on, we have one bizarre
situation to another, typically David Dhawan style. Unlike
his previous comedies, David Dhawan comes out with almost
no script and creates silly situations expecting Govinda
and Ritiesh to enact with conviction and have the audience
in splits.
.
John Mathew (Ranveer Shouri)
is a private detective and a childhood friend of the sexy,
rich wife. And he has always been in love with her. When
Kiran comes to him with her suspicions about a cheating
husband... the detective is hell bent on getting proof of
the infidelity so that he can marry his childhood
sweetheart himself.
There are some nice numbers
like Do Knot Disturb by Anushka Manchandani and the Mere
Naal by K.K and Shreya Ghosal. Other songs like Beautiful
Women rendered by Neeraj Shridhar and Soumya Raoh and
Don’t Ever Leave Me by Shaan and Shreya Ghosal are
average.
Unfortunately, this time
Dhawanji is failed in spite of such a talented line-up of
stars who are disappointingly made to jump around and
deliver in meaningless situations taken up in this so
called comedy.
Do Knot Disturb lacks the typical David-Govinda punch.
Apart from some particular scenes which are hilarious, on
the whole the film fails to provide entertainment.
