It recycles its story, music and even its brand of comedy, hoping nostalgia will do the heavy lifting. It doesn't. The only thing buried under 'M ke neeche' is whatever made the first Dhamaal work."The story revolves around a treasure hunt. The film has received mixed reviews from critics and audiences alike. While some viewers have called it a laugh riot, others have criticised its weak writing and the overuse of AI-generated shots.
