Though there were a string of flops,they did not stop him from reaching stardom. His career turned when he received best actor award for his acting skills in movie " Haqeeqat" opposite tabu. Then there was "VijayPath". "Ishq" brought a change in his action image. His acting skills in the second half were execellent. Then it was " Hum dil de chuke sanam" and " Pyar to hona hi tha "which completely changed his image to a lover boy. Then there was "Zakhm" and " The legend of Bhagat Singh " which fetched him a national award. Khakee and Deewaangee are the films which showed him as a villian, to which he did justice. Now he is the one artist who can do any kind of role wheather it is serious, emotional, comedy or action.
All the Ajay Devgan Fans are invited to express their views on this site and write few things about him.
golmaal returns review

October 29th, 2008
Movie Review: Golmal Returns; Movie Star Cast: Ajay Devgan, Tusshar Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor, Amrita Arora, Celina Jaitley, Arshad Warsi and Shreyas Talpade; Director: Rohit Shetty; Rating: **
Golmaal Returns tells the story of Gopal (Devgan) who along with his wife Ekta (Kareena) stays together house along with sister Esha (Amrita) and a dumb brother in law Lucky (Tusshar). Ekta’s is a very suspecting wife whose suspicion habit is further influenced by watching Ekta Kapoor’s Balaji TV serials. One night, Gopal has to spend the night out with a beautiful young lady Mira Nair (Celina) on a yacht due to some unforeseen circumstances. But to avoid any misunderstanding with his wife, he lies to her that he was with his friend Anthony Gonsalves that night. One lie leads to another and Gopal to save his skin has to involve his junior, Laxman (Shreyas) but then a corpse of his office employee is found and the investigating officer happens to be Madhav (Arshad) whom Gopal hates. All this leads to a huge chaos where everyone is busy hiding something and ending up lying to one another to avoid further problems!
It needs to be made clear that the film is not actually a sequel of the hit comic caper Golmaal (2006) by the same team. It just has the same four main protagonists of the original in a different situation. Shreyas comes in place of Sharman Joshi though. Golmaal Returns aims to be a light entertainer which expects you leave your brains at home before you enter the cinema hall. But if it aims so then it’s the maker’s responsibility to keep you engaged with some really entertaining histrionics by everyone involved with the film. To begin with the plot is banal. It instantly gives one a feeling of déjà vu. There is nothing new in the offering. The plot situations aim to be hilarious but the writing is so weak that it all falls flat. It is then only the actors who give out their best and make the film a little bit bearable. Rohit Shetty had committed the same mistake in his last outing, Sunday where he managed to assemble a talented cast but failed to pack in the right content that could compliment them. No wonder the film flopped badly at the box office.
To be fair there are a few funny situations here and there but they appear funnier only because of the actors enacting them, especially Tusshar and Shreyas. One also fails to understand why the makers felt like poking fun of Ekta’s Balaji serials when it was just done to bad results in the recently released flop C Kkompany also starring Tusshar Kapoor! While C Kkompany had Ekta Kapoor’s K series serial actress Sakshi Tanwar making an appearance you have another Ekta protégé, Ram Kapoor making a special appearance to zero effect! One of the biggest contributing factors to Golmaal’s success was Paresh Rawal. How one wishes he was there as a main character in this film as well!
Amongst the actors, the ones who impress the most are Shreyas Talpade and Tusshar Kapoor. Ajay and Kareena do well but don’t really make a good pair. Poor Arshad Warsi gets the least scope as compared to others despite being excellent in his comic timing. Amrita Arora continues with her dumb belle act. Celina for a change fully clothed manages to bring a few smiles. Murli Sharma, Rakhi Vijan, Ashwini Kalsekar, Vrajesh Hirjee and Mukesh Tiwari lend good support.
The music by Pritam is average barring Tha Karke which is very lavishly shot and is entertaining to watch.
If you expect more fun in Golmaal Returns than Golmaal then you are going to be in for a major disappointment. So venture in if you wish with zero expectations and there are chances you might enjoy a moment or two but the end result wouldn’t be that satisfactory!
interviews
prolonged success in Bollywood could never be described as easy. To do it, switching regularly between comedy, action and art-house drama is harder still. And to do it as an actor, director and producer must surely qualify you as someone truly gifted. Funny, they say, is hard. Funny floats in the ether and only the chosen can snatch it down. So, to be the funniest of them all without making those stretched faces is a challenge few can rise to. Ajay Devgan did this. This is a position he's achieved both through the relentless perfectionism of his approach to his work, and the ferocity with which he protects his private life. Apart from the very occasional tabloid snippet, we hear nothing about the man, only ever seeing him when he's playing someone else - which is, of course, exactly how he wants it to be.
The first day when Shreyas performed, we were all at ease. I think that Shreyas is fantastic.
Rohit joined us as an assistant in Phool Aur Kaante. So as a kid brother, as a colleague and as a friend he has been with me for more than 15 years

Post U, Me Aur Hum, Ajay Devgan might be seen in Eros Entertainment’s new project titled Raghupati Raghav Rajaram, which he is also likely to direct.
A source from Eros tells us, “We are still in talks with Ajay Devgan as he is too busy with his projects but he is keen to play the three characters. This will be another golden opportunity for Ajay to shine both in acting and directing after U, Me Aur Hum. We have also decided to work with him on his next action flick which he has planned.” Another source close to Ajay adds, “Nothing has been declared by Ajay but yes he has liked these three characters. The script is quite good but there will be slight changes which Ajay will make later. If things go well then this 3-character project will be the most prestigious project of his career.” Currently, the actor is in Goa on a holiday with Kajol, Tanuja, his daughter Nyasa and Tanishaa. He has been shooting for Golmaal Returns and is also busy with judging Rock N Roll Family. Later on, he will also be shooting for Toonpur Ka Superhero with Kajol.
