Director: Vivek Agnihotri
Music: Pritam
Rating : ** (2/5)

The problem with Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal is that it is too predictable. I don't say that Goal is bad movie or time waste movie but it has lot of drawbacks. It deals with a number of issues. Saving a club, racism, love, internal conflicts, treachery, sabotage etc.

To start with.. Southhall United is a football club which is going through a major financial crisis. Unless it can come up with a large amount of money it will be sold and converted into a shopping mall.

Shaan (Arshad Warsi), the team captain figures that the only way to get the money is by winning the championship. So he manages to find disgraced former Southhall United player Tony Singh (Boman Irani) and convinces him to coach the team. Coach figures out that there is something missing in the team and approaches Sunny (John Abraham) for a spot in the team. Sunny who is already training for a rival club initially declines but eventually joins when he isn’t selected for the other team due to racial discrimination. Sunny was a miscreant to Shaan and his men and isn’t accepted with open arms into the team



The rest of the story is will the be able to keep there ego and personal problems aside and save the club ?
drawbacks :

1) The chemistry between Bipasha and John just seems forced.
2) Item song timing (not required at all)
3) Bipasha Basu should pick up more meaty roles where she isn’t eye candy or sidelined

Possitines :

1) Arshad Warsi and John Abraham done really well for themselves
2) Boman too fits the role but one wouldn’t call it his best though you can say the role was tailor made for him
3) music and background score by pritam

Last word : Clearly the twist towards the end is what salvages the film and one can leave the hall with some relief.
