A few such scenes stand out among the string of pedestrian jokes that the film is full of, including those tasteless gay jokes that are done in abundance here. Sunday slips up in its second half, when the film takes the thriller route.

The so-called suspense, when revealed, is so lame that you wish they hadn't digressed from the comedy at all. At a running time of approximately two hours, Sunday still feels very long because there's very little happening in terms of movement of screenplay.

Too many songs and none that are particularly memorable, further slacken the film's pace. Of the cast, it's interesting to see Ajay Devgan lighten up a little, but he was way funnier in Golmaal by the same director, and that's because Golmaal was a way better script.

Ironic that Ayesha Takia's cast as a dubbing artiste who can modulate her voice to suit various jungle animals -- how you wish she could modulate her voice when expressing something as basic as different emotions.

Nevertheless, she's cute as a button and there's little else expected of her in this film. Sunday belongs to Arshad Warsi and Irrfan Khan who save this film from being entirely pointless, by injecting such a generous dose of spontaneous humour.

That aside, sadly, there is little else on offer here. So I'm going with two out of five and an average rating for director Rohit Shetty's Sunday, it's a just-about tolerable watch for those with high patience levels. For the rest, surely you can find something better to do on a Sunday!

Rating: 2 / 5 (Average)
