Welcome Back (2015)

If I could erase my memory of last 3 hours, I’d do it. I mean it.
Welcome was a splendid movie. It had amazing characters. Uday-Majnu were hilarious. Ghughru was one superb character. Akshay as Rajiv was cute. RDX was badass. Let’s not talk about Katrina. The plot was perfect. The dialogues were so funny that it’d make you fall of your seats.
However, the sequel of this beautiful movie couldn’t do justice to these amazing characters.
After 8 years, we got to watch Welcome Back. The story starts as Uday and Majnu are struggling to live a decent life, without crime. Uday finds out that he has another half sister (Shruti Hassan) who needs to get married. Majnu takes the responsibility of marrying her to a good, decent man.
The trio of Uday-Majnu-Ghunghru is still funny and the only thing worth watching. John is average. You can’t expect more from his. Acting is not his strong suit. He plays Ajju Bhai, don of Mumbai.
Shruti Hassan is so pathetic that whenever she appears on screen, it’s the best time to go out and buy popcorn/coke, take a leak, or make out with your girlfriend.
There are few punchlines in the first half of the movie which will make you laugh. The action scenes are pathetic. John Abrahim fights an army of goons with a piece of cloth. How is that possible? Well, this was supposed to be a silly movies, so you have to bear those physics defying action.
Movie gets worse in the second half. Coming back to the theater after the interval was my biggest mistake. The second half of the movie is shot in exotic locations, the palm island, Dubai etc and has flaunted it beautifully. The scene in graveyard is good, we’d get to see Anil Kapoor singing “Ae Ji, Oh Ji, Lo Ji, Suno Ji” after a long time. But still, this is a crappy movie. Even fine actors like Nasruddin Shah fails to impress because of the stupid script of Welcome Back. btw, what the hell was that “Mazaak tha” thing?
