Daddy Cool is a 2009 Indian Hindi-language comedy film directed by K. Murali Mohana Rao. An official[2][3] adaptation of the 2007 British-American comedy Death at a Funeral, the film stars Sunil Shetty, Jaaved Jaaferi, Aashish Chaudhary, Aftab Shivdasani and Aarti Chabria, and borrows its title from the song of the same name by the disco group Boney M., whose adaptation also serves as the film's title track.[4]

Plot

[edit]

The film is set in Goa and follows what happens on one crazy day. The story focuses on Steven and his wife Nancy, who currently live with Steven's mother and plan to purchase their own flat soon. The film begins with the death of Steven's father. Steven organises the whole funeral by himself, and the guests begin to arrive. Steven's brother Brian, a renowned novelist living in Mumbai, also arrives. Everyone is expecting Brian to give the farewell speech since he is a novelist; however, he has nothing planned, and he intends for Steven to do the speech. Every time Steven tries to start his speech, someone always interrupts, and the speech is delayed. A short man named Andrew introduces himself to Steven and asks to speak to him in private. Andrew tells him that he was Steven's father's gay lover. Surprised, Steven tells Brian this. Andrew blackmails them and demands money to keep this a secret. By this time, Steven's crazy family had arrived.

Reception

[edit]

Patcy N from Rediff.com gave the film 1.5 stars out of 5, praising its music and the makers' acknowledging of its source material, but feeling that some of the comedy was not suited for the culture of India, a country where last rites are a serious matter, and that the single-location setting could get boring after a point.[6] Taran Adarsh from Bollywood Hungama gave the film 1 star out of 5, feeling the concept was more suited for a play, and found the humour "crass and crude".[7] Shubhra Gupta from Indian Express also gave the film 1 star out of 5, remarking that while it was an official remake of Death At A Funeral, it was full of "gags that sag after the first two uses."[2]
