Mubarakan

I saw this movie in the second week when rating on IMDb was already 5.3 and critics too had given it a lukewarm response. I tried using the ratings and reviews as an excuse to not watch the movie but saw it because my brother was really keen.

I came out pleasantly surprised after thoroughly enjoying the 2.5 odd hours of the movie. Sure, it drags at a couple of points during drama moments, but the movie offers plenty of laughs, and that is what my entire expectation from a comedy is.

There are some loose ends in the plot but to not allow a comedy movie some leeway is anyway an incorrect expectation.

Maximum screen time is divided between Anil and Arjun Kapoor who both do a very good job. The actresses don't offer much but that's also because the characters didn't need to have any depth and neither were they carrying the burden of pulling off the jokes.

I could have lived without a couple of songs but that's it, other than that I'm stumped as to why it's been reviewed poorly here. It's got a 7.6 on Bookmyshow which is closer to what I believe is the real merit of the movie

This is a clean family comedy movie. We have seen a lot of mindless bad comedy films but this is way better than them all. A complete entertainer and keeps you laughing throughout the movie. There are NO whatsapp jokes or PJs like TV comedy shows but a situational comedy. Direction and editing have been good. On acting front Anil Kapoor is best along with support cast of Pavan Malhotra and Ratna Pathak. But I think real winner is script, dialog and behind camera teams. Overall worth of your money.

This is an excellent movie. Bollywood doesn't make movies like this anymore...it's a must watch clean entertainer that you must take your whole family to watch! No matter how much of a bad day you have had you will come out smiling! This is a laughter pill, happiness medicine all families need. Every actor has done brilliant acting - don't listen to critics -go watch this movie, be happy and be thankful to the makers!

Mubarakan is the kind of a movie which you go to watch with your friends when you are in the mood to simply laugh at everything.A good bollywood slapstick comedy with no double meaning jokes after a really long time. If you are the kind of a person who is in the habit of laughing at small things, you'll have a grin on your face throughout. Anil Kapoor sort of has the 'welcome' touch in his acting which is quite enjoyable. Arjun Kapoor, Ileana, Neha have all performed their parts well. However, Ratna Pathak's PUnjabi accent is a little absurd. The movie becomes slow towards the end, the first half is more enjoyable. Go to watch the movie only if you are not looking for something serious or sensible. Sometimes, it's good to just go and have a good laugh.

Brainless but entertaining typical Punjabi comedy. It is a onetime watch. I find here many reviews who expect logic or direction in this film. I think acting of anil kapoor was awsum. Like in Indian comedy movies a confusion chaos is created and that creates humor, so here also same.
