Welcome

Welcome

I thought this film was just brilliant, the only thing that kind of ruined it for me was Mallika Arora's Item number, it was really cheap and cheesy and i really hated it, but apart from that the rest of the movie was just fantastic. Rajiv is on the lookout for a bride, he meets Sanjana played by (Katrina Kaif and i must admit that her acting skills have improved a lot since she first came into the industry and she was really good on this movie) and it is love at first sight anyways as the story progresses Sanjana brothers Majnu (Anil Kapoor, he played his part so well and is a true villain) and Uday (Nana Pataker who is so underrated as an actor, i really hope he makes more great films in the future, he was also brilliant in this films and had me in stitches ) Anyways my favourite character would have to be Gungaroo LMAO (Paresh Rawal) he was so funny in this film and i could not stop laughing, there is no one like him in the industry and he is one if the best in a comedy role, He plays Rajiv's uncle who is trying to find him a bride. Feroz Khan another great actor i loved his part as RDX in the film and i just love him to bits, he is one of the best and i hope that he makes more great films in the future. As for Mallika Sherawat?????????? well she played the love interest for both brothers Uday and Majnu, her part was pretty pathetic and useless, Mallika really is boring, until she plays a part where she can act and not play the same cheap role i am going to stay away from her films in the future. Like any typical Indian film Rajiv gets his bride in the end.

Paresh Rawal is Akshay Kumar's uncle...He is searching for a bride from a really good and respected family for him... Nana Patekar is a big time gangster...Anil Kapoor is his right hand and Katrina Kaif is Nana's sister...Now Nana is also looking for a bridegroom from a really good and respected family for Katrina's marriage... Nana Patekar has met almost every bridegroom in the town but no one is ready to marry a don's sister.. Katrina and Akshay meet in a shopping mall where Katrina saves Akshay from the fire in the mall...Akshay cant stop thinking about her now...They start meeting quite often and fall in love... Akshay meets Nana and tells him about his uncle and aunt...Nana tells Akshay to get them to a party...When Paresh sees Nana he is shocked..Now he doesn't want Akshay to marry a don's sister..So on the day of engagement, Paresh sets up a drama to break the engagement... Mallika Sherawat acts as Akshay's wife and causes a lot of confusion in the engagement party...Feroze Khan who is a bigger don compared to Nana Patekar, would have come from Italy to attend the function. Looking at the drama taking place, he orders that the engagement cannot take place..Everyone are unhappy except Paresh.. After a long discussion with Akshay,he puts across a challenge telling if Nana Patekar and Anil Kapoor leave their current profession and become respectable individuals, then Katrina and Akshay can marry... So the task of fulfilling the challenge begins and it also succeeds and finally Akshay and Katrina get married... Overall the songs are horrible...The movie is worth watching at least once... I give it 6/10

This is a boring rehash of several films. The plot doesn't hold up to any kind of scrutiny and the film turns lifeless after a reasonable opening twenty minutes. Akshay Kumar is uneven and occasionally looks bored. Talented actors like Nana Patekar and Paresh Rawal are unable to rise above the weak script. Feroz Khan is wasted in a throw away part. Katrina Kaif looks gorgeous but can't act. Mallika Sherawat's subplot was superfluous. The climax (MINOR SPOILERS) is lifted straight out of 'The Gold Rush' but remains weak. A considerable disappointment and best avoided. Overall 2/10

The comedy used in this movie is similar to that of a comical play. A lot of situations are exaggerated and never would happen in real life. A lot of the time some situations don't make sense at all. Problems are created and if you think about it are no problem at all. This is done on purpose, purely to entertain. So someone saying that this movie isn't realistic is missing the point. The actors know that the story has to be taken lightly. The structure of the movie can be confusing. But that can be blamed on the director. From what I understand that this is his first project. But I must say for that he did quite OK. Even when the direction could have been better the actors do make up for that fact. Overall this is a nice little comedy that will grow on you and is purely fun.

What a time 2007 was! & right we are lacking for a good comedy movie... & yes Majnu bhai's painting is still famous in market.

Welcome takes bollywood's modern movies to a new level. Anees Bazmee comes up with a very well directed comedy unlike his previous and 1 or 2 next ones as well. It is a mixture of a little senseless comedy, great situational comedy and even some intelligent comedy. The movie really builds on its very one-line story. This is because of its characters and the performances of the actors. Nana Patekar has really not given as much to comedy film as he could have given. As Uday Shetty, in his very own style, his expressions and involvement are a toast to watch. He sort of does what I feel Paresh Rawal did in the all-time-great Hera Pheri (Though, he was not as hilarious as Babu Bhaiyya). But I really loved his character. Equally good is Anil Kapoor who himself gives his best ever performance in a comedy movie. Majnoo Bhai is so caring, innocent, dangerous. There is so much liveliness and the "taporiness" in him that whenever he is on screen, you are bound to laugh. Rest of the cast is more supporting to these two. Akshay Kumar very rightly gets a supporting comedy role at which he's very good. He takes care of his comedy and romance scenes well since he doesn't have the burden to run this comedy movie all alone. Katrina Kaif comes up with a good performance which is really charming. She really became comfortable with the guidance of many veteran actors. Paresh Rawal gets a chance to show that he knows the art of comedy even in a different style. Dr. Ghoongroo does give you the laughs in his not very much screen time. Then there also is Feroz Khan who comes and gives a direction to a movie and really holds it till the end. The only problem with this other cast is they make you smile but not really laugh. Else, Sherveer Vakil, Mallika Sheravat, are good. Lastly, to generate more, this movie finds a place in an ever welcoming story that could get many more characters. Other actors like Asrani, Mahesh Mishra and all the little goons, the film-making crew are all enjoyable and have the punches. These people have some punches delivered very well. It is a treat to watch a bollywood movie with such a good level of situational comedy and the sort of creation of comedy (Uday's horses and onions). I may be crazy in watching this movie more than 10 times but every time it makes me laugh. You just need the right sense to see it. See this movie for its performances and the comedy that really comes out of nowhere. The lack of story never really becomes a problem, he only real problem in this movie was the music in which "Hoonth Rasiley" was bad while the others okay and one like "Kiya Kiya" fairly decent. WELCOME is a treat to watch. You will come out of the theater saying that it was a very good movie but only if some of the scenes were given a try to be made hilarious, it could have been much much better. (the one rating missing due to that).

What can I say about "Welcome!" ( I added the exclamation mark at the end because it fit so well) other than the fact that it rocked my socks off. It was hilarious, and yes, silly hilarious. Yet I know that it would not have been so entertaining if it weren't for the brilliant actors (Anil Kapoor and Nana Patekar were amazing) and pretty good songs. Anyways, it would take a lot of talent to explain the plot to anyone because it's one of those chaotic slapstick comedies that you just have to check out for yourself, and only watch once. But in a nutshell, it is about this really decent man (Paresh Rawal tearing it up as the timid doctor) that would like his decent nephew, Rajiv (Akshay Kumar) to get married. Now comes in the hot Katrina Keif (who cares what her name was?) who, after a medley of hilarious situations, falls in love with Rajiv. There's only one problem with this, her brothers are big shots in the underworld…and are not very modest. "Welcome" is welcoming if you allow yourself to be invited. Don't go watching it with expectations that it will be the cleverest and most sophisticated movie you will see…and when it's not, don't restrict yourself from laughing away to glory

I'm making no pretense about this movie. The fact that Akshay keeps racking up the hits shows me there are an awful lot of people who are eager to spend their money for pure escape. So this movie is an honest transaction with no claims to art. For the millions who want what it offers, they can go without fear they will regret it. To me, the thing I liked best was the female cast. It is rare for a movie to bring together such an eyeful. I was sold by the trailers that showed Malaika, Katrina, and Mallika. And the movie delivered. One comparison I'll make is with Kyon Ki and Garam Masala. When I watched those movie there were many moments when I was stopped by "what in the world were they thinking?" By contrast, I didn't really have those moments in Welcome. Also, Anil, Nana, and Feroze really added to the comedy. All three of them are solid performers. In fact, I'd say Malaika, Katrina, Mallika, Anil, Nana, and Feroze were the best things I found in the movie. No wonder it rang up such high sales.

Welcome is a great movie . Akkshay Kumar and Co. manage to keep u in splits throughout .Katrina Kaif is looking as gorgeous as usual.Paresh Rawal fits his role to perfection.Nana Patekar is shown in a different role and does it amazingly.Anil Kapoor does manage to overact but is still funny sometimes.The other side actors also do their job pretty well.Forgot to comment on Mallika ....but she doesn't do much and was not really impressed by her acting.Special mention to a one legged guy in the movie...don't know his name but you will find out when you watch the movie.The first half keeps you entertained.In the second half you wonder whereas they are going over the line with the comedy thing.If you really want to have fun in this movie don't think much while watching it.To sum it up ...Go Watch Welcome !
