The film revolves around the animosity between the two families
headed by Angaarchand (Amrish Puri) and Lakshmidevi (Lakshmi).
Priyadarshan, who shaped up some great comedies like Hera Pheri
and Hungama failed to live up to the expectations of
his fans in Hulchul. There is hardly any humor in
the film. Arshad Warsi is the only saving grace. Paresh Rawal, who
tickled the funny bones of the viewers in Hera Pheri and
Hungama couldn’t save the film from tumbling at the box office.
