“Welcome” – a real Bollywood masala mix-movie review


Yet another bollywood masala - "Welcome" – from the hit popular director Anees Bazmee. Bollywood movie is a hit at the box office like his other films. This Anil Kapoor, Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif starrer is in the theatres now – your latest bollywood release. A bollywood comedy without any particular story line – a body without a head, that is what this multi-starrer “Welcome” is all about. It is Bollywood masala with no plot but clean plain fun. A film for the entire family. May sound a little clichéd like they say for all new bollywood movies but this is a good fun experience.

The plot if I may say so revolves around how a Don or underworld ruler family of Nana Patekar(Uday) and Anil Kapoor(Majnu bhai) are trying to find a great guy for their one and only little sister- Katrina(Sanjana). Paresh Rawal playing the character of Dr. Ghungroo in the film is also on a match making spree too. He is girl hunting so to say for his simple straight forward nephew Akshay Kumar. He wants a simple good girl and that too from a family with any kind of criminal background or negative shades. As luck would have it Paresh Rawal reaches you know where……

The comedy is good but don’t have great expectations. With Majnu Bhai (Anil Kapoor) proving yet again his flair for comedy. Supporting actors Feroze Khan or RDX in the film have not managed to be make a big contribution to the film. A total timepass comedy if you don’t have anything to do on the weekend the theatres with “Welcome” is well ok to be.

For parents who are worried about Bollywood actress Mallika Sherawat in the film, you can go with kids without worry. A song and a scene and Mallika too can be passed of with a “U”. That probably would be a sigh of relief for most parents. Children at the theatre did have fun and with the holidays it sure is going to be a bindass family watch.
