Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

Yazmin Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

angelshalz 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

plqc56 "Welcome" is a enjoyable, masala comedy with an amusing cast. It has plenty of ridiculously unbelievable, cheesy moments and the film requires viewers who don't take themselves or the movie too seriously, and who know how to suspend their disbelief. Unfortunately, there are plenty of people who are unable to take the movie in the spirit it was made. Is it full of buffoons and a silly plot? Of course! But what makes this movie so charming is that - like plenty of other Bollywood films - it tells its story with such sincere, earnest conviction that you can't help but get sucked in.The story is centered on a mafia family headed by two dons, played by the unfailingly charismatic Feroz Khan and the gifted Nana Patekar. Nana Patekar is trying to find a boy from a nice, decent family to marry his sister, played by Katrina Kaif (surprisingly, she is tolerable in this film). Aiding the don in his quest to find a suitable boy is one of Nana Patekar's lesser dons, played by Anil Kapoor. When they find a suitable boy (Akshay Kumar), things are complicated by the suitable boy's uncle (Paresh Rawal), who is not terribly excited about his nephew marrying into the mafia. And from this tangled web of conflicting goals ensues chaos and mayhem. Mallika Sherawat is also entertaining (if extremely confusing) as a random girl who is...confusing people.It's a silly movie full of childish, mischievous comedy and feel-good moments, but I think that, in the end, that's what we value about Bollywood films: their family-friendly messages, the dazzling spectacle in scene after scene, fun filled madness and a talented cast. Nana Patekar and Paresh Rawal were especially impressive and quite adorable. It was amusing to see Akshay Kumar play a clueless good guy after being so used to seeing him as an action hero.The only way to enjoy this movie is to throw brains and common sense out the window and enjoy it for what it is - a family-friendly comedy with lots of laughs and entertainment. It's a question of expectations. If you get this movie expecting to see something similar to a Hollywood film, then you will disappointed. Bollywood isn't anything like Hollywood, and there is nothing wrong with that. I didn't get this DVD expecting to see an Indian version of The Godfather. There are plenty of funny references to The Godfather in this movie, but the director clearly intends to parody the world and lifestyle of a mafia don, and I think he did a good job. It's a happy story that laughs at itself at every turn, and that's great.

chrichtonsworld 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.

Krazzy4 After Andaz apna apna...its a welcome non-stop entertainer film..Plus points: Excellent performance by Nana-Anil-Paresh...Katrina-Akki average performance...its like the director ignored superstar akshay kumar.....Malika, Froze and other supporting were okay...good dialogues specially Nana and Anil's line...good music and background music,direction and song picturizations Minues points: Weak climax and poor editing i was expecting more from akshay...his role was similar to Jaaneman (as a nerd)..the director should give Katrina opportunity to act..10/8 overall worth-watching film family and friends akshay did say to leave our brain at home but there are two things I need to point out like: When RDX son lucky is hit by bullet how come his still alive? I thought Paresh runs hospital then how come his also running a store?
