Priyadarshan, who recently made Aakrosh and Tezz, returns to the comic genre with KAMAAL DHAMAAL MALAMAAL (KDM). This one is not a sequel to his previous laugh riot Malamaal Weekly.

(Heroine - movie review) The film is based on the life and times of a superstar heroine from the dream factory we call 'Bollywood'.
