Movie Review
By Taran Adarsh
Welcome
to the crazy, mad, funny, outlandish, outrageous, zany world of
WELCOME, directed by Anees Bazmee, who gave us the rib-tickling NO
ENTRY. Bazmee is a veteran when it comes to leave-your-brains-at-home
comic capers, having penned and helmed non-stop laughathons in the past.
The
question is, does WELCOME make you break into guffaws? The question is,
does WELCOME measure up to the mammoth expectations surrounding it? The
question is, will WELCOME be as big a hit as NO ENTRY?
WELCOME
follows the same path as David Dhawan and Priyadarshan movies. The
mantra is simple: Lock your brains at home, throw your worries out of
the window for the next 2 hours and get ready to embrace a world where
logic and sense have no place… In short, WELCOME remains faithful to
the genre from start to end. Bazmee borrows a bit from the likable Hugh
Grant starrer MICKEY BLUE EYES [also bears an uncanny resemblance to
SHAADI SE PEHLE] and adds loads of Indian masala to make the
proceedings spicy and tangy. Lo and behold! WELCOME succeeds in
tickling your funny bone at most places. The humour is basic and even
absurd, but it works well in a film like this.
To cut a long
story short, WELCOME is one of those entertainers that deliver what it
promises: Funny sequences, super performances and loads and loads of
laughter. Without doubt, WELCOME will be welcomed with open arms by the
aam junta!
Uday Shetty [Nana Patekar], Majnu [Anil Kapoor] and
their boss, Sikander [Feroz Khan], are basically three Hong Kong-based
serio-comic mobsters, who are keen to get Uday’s sister Sanjana
[Katrina Kaif] married into a respectable family.
Write your own movie review of Welcome
Uday,
who accidentally meets the handsome bachelor Rajiv [Akshay Kumar], gets
convinced that the latter would be an appropriate match for Sanjana.
Meanwhile, Sanjana, who is totally unaware of her brother’s plans, also
meets Rajiv separately and they fall in love. She has the acceptance of
Dr. Ghunghroo [Paresh Rawal], Rajiv’s uncle, who is unaware of the fact
that she is Uday’s sister.
When Dr. Ghunghroo realizes his faux
pas, he decides against the marriage. The entire plot takes a U-turn
when a stunning bombshell [Mallika Sherawat] arrives on the scene and
claims to be Rajiv’s wedded wife, which only adds to the hullabaloo and
chaos.
You realize you won’t need your thinking caps at the very
outset. Note the introductory sequences of Nana Patekar, Paresh Rawal
and Anil Kapoor. They set the mood of the film. Also, the first hour
has several humorous moments and you enjoy the one-liners that the
characters keep delivering every now and then.
The director
makes sure to open three more surprises in the post-interval hour --
Feroz Khan, Mallika Sherawat and Vijay Raaz, who is introduced in the
first half, but gets scope only in the second half. The sequences
between Nana and Mallika and also between Anil and Mallika are truly
funny. Also, the marathon portion at the funeral is sure to bring the
house down.
Of course, there’re loose ends. The pace dips in the
second hour, a few jokes seem repetitive and therefore, don’t evoke the
required mirth. Also, the music could’ve been better. Only two songs
come easy on your lip [the ones that are promoted], but the
chartbusting quality is missing.
Bazmee’s direction does justice
to the material. The director and his team of writers [Rajiv Kaul,
Praful Parekh] don’t deviate from the core issue and pack the script
with inane stuff, but the impact is so funny that you break into a
hysterical laughter at places. The Kaul and Parekh jodi, known for
writing a number of David Dhawan and Indra Kumar films in the past, are
back in true form after a long time.
As mentioned earlier, the
music is a mixed bag. ‘Uncha Lamba Kadh’ and ‘Tera Sarafa’ [Anand Raaj
Anand] are the best tracks of the enterprise and the choreography of
these numbers take them further, but the remaining songs are below
average. Dialogues are laced with wit and enjoyable, especially those
delivered by Nana, Paresh and Anil. Sanjay F. Gupta’s cinematography is
striking. The locales of Dubai and South Africa give the film a
grandiose look. The effects [especially in the climax -- the house
collapse sequence] are tacky.
Although WELCOME boasts of a
formidable star cast and every actor handles his/her part with
effortless ease, the one who registers the maximum impact is Nana
Patekar. Nana is in terrific form, the real scene-stealer. It’s a treat
to watch this accomplished actor essay a role that’s in stark contrast
to the ones he’s known for [intense, hard-hitting characters]. His
comic timing is fantastic!
Akshay is equally competent. He looks
every inch the seedha-saadha guy, who is torn between his lady love on
one hand and the two factions [Paresh versus Nana, Anil & Co.] on
the other. This film should find a prominent place in his repertoire.
Anil
Kapoor comes up with yet another dhamaka. The actor compliments Nana
beautifully and handles his role with precision. Paresh Rawal is superb
yet again. He continues to make people laugh, even though he has
consistently starred in umpteen funny movies.
Although the
meatier scenes are reserved for the men, there’s no denying that
Katrina gives her role the freshness that it demands. Also, she looks
bewitching. Mallika Sherawat is electrifying. Although she makes an
appearance in the second half, the confidence with which she carries
her part is what works in her favour.
Feroz Khan is in form.
Vijay Raaz is first-rate yet again. Supriya Karnik, Snehal Dhabi, Adi
Irani, Mushtaq Khan and Sherveer Vakil are adequate. Suniel Shetty is
there for a scene only; he’s okay.
On the whole, WELCOME is a
fun ride all the way. The tremendous hype for the film has resulted in
a tremendous start at the ticket window and the 5-day weekend as also
the lack of biggies in the subsequent weeks will help WELCOME reach the
‘Smash Hit’ status in days to come.
