It's Entertainment

After watching the trailer of It's Entertainment , my expectation were shadowed with not-so-great dialogs and lame theme. I was right after watching the film as well. It's Entertainment is an acid test you have to go through to test your intelligence.

After discovering about his billionaire dad in Bangkok, Akhil travels to inherit 3000 crore legacy. To his surprise , the legacy has already been inherited by none other than a dog who is called Entertainment by his owner. To make the matter worse, there are two wolves-like-uncles who is after the legacy as well. Akhil must hatch a plan to recover his wealth before it falls into the wrong hands.

As a first time directors, Sajid-Frahad ( who earlier scripted Golmaal 3, Chennai Express ) fails to create any impact. The movie is neither a animal-loving nor a slapstick comedy film. The screenplay is fitted with too many loop holes. Art direction is magnus with high production value. Cinematography is top notch. Songs are fine. Dialogues are humorous. The only saving grace in the film is the performances. Akshay Kumar leads the way with perfect comic timing. He is outstanding and brings down the house with his antics. Prakash Raj and Sonu Sood comes in late but will tickle your funny bone with their "Karan-Arjun" brotherly act. Tamannah looks gorgeous but is just abut okay. Mithun over-acts.

Overall, a comedy which could have been better with right direction and script. Below average 1.5 /5

1.5/5 Perhaps I had a subconscious desire to torture my inner being. If that was so, I have succeeded spectacularly. I don't remember the last time I watched an Akshay Kumar(AK) movie. But, after enduring his brand of "Entertainment" , I know that I will not be subjecting myself to his brand of juvenile antics ever, in this life time or the next. My already low expectations were deadened within the first two minutes which show a morbidly obese AK thrusting his nipple into the mouth of a wailing child. Yeah, you read that right. The humor is low brow and crass. However, with some "so bad it's good" one liners in the first half, the film gallops along. Sitting through the second half was like trying to laugh with a mouth full of broken glass. The mindless script becomes maudlin and the sporafic fun vanishes. It is a torture, full of clichés. Sonu Sood and Prakash Raj play the loving brothers, Karan and Arjun, who throw a spanner in AK's wheels. Sood actually does a good job of playing the dimwitted younger brother and their banter in the first half brought smile to my visage. Tamanna should be prepared for the second dud of her career after the disaster of "Himmatwala". All she does is stand in a saree or a sarong and mouth dialogues mocking Balaji serials. Her act gets old in the very first shot which speaks volumes about her acting capabilities. AK should be asked to see his previous ten movies. He looks and acts the same in all the same, as far as I could glean from their trailers. He really needs to stop being a part of such shite as early as possible or else the curtains can come down really soon on his career. The real villain of the movie is the bloody script. Majority of Its dialogues rhyme like the cult classic Gunda. I just wish they were half as funny as that once in a lifetime experience.

"It's Entertainment", directed by the duo Sajid-Farhad, is a comedy as well as Romantic film.

Actor Akshay Kumar along with Tamannah Bhatia has done a good job, providing good fun at frantic pace.

Akshay's co-actor, Junior, the Golden Retriever dog, had been a lovely speechless actor in the movie.

The music of the film is entertaining as well.

Johnny Lever as Habibullah Sheikh is a happening comedian and has played a nice role.

Sonu Sood and Prakash Raj have delivered their negative roles in comedian way conforming to the nature of the film.

To sum up, "It's Entertainment" will provide good entertainment to the viewers.

This movie comes from the director duo Sajid-Farhad, who have wrote dialogs for the Golmaal series and many other. Acting wise Krishna and Johny Lever make you tickle, rest all are just average. Screenplay, editing and other aspects are bad!! Yes, its a no brainer,but i have given this movie 5 stars because of the dialogs!!! They are hilarious, witty, fabulous etc. The credit for this goes to Sajid-Farhad. They are arguably the most underrated duologue writers!!!

Bottom line, it brings out the kid in you, movie leaves you with a message,you can enjoy this movie as a stress buster but besides one liners, its awfully bad!!

After a successful stint as writers of Golmaal series, Bol Bachchan, Housefull etc the brother duo Sajid-Farhad debut as directors with "Entertainment".

For the last few movies that I watched in the comedy genre there has been a flaw, in the second half the comedy becomes a mundane caricature and there are hardly any laughs, the same flaw is pertinent in "Entertainment" as well.

Story by K Subhash tells us the story of Akhil Lokhande (Akshay Kumar) who is struggling to make his ends meet, suddenly has a strike of luck when he discovers that he is the son of multi millionaire Pannalal Johri (Dalip Tahil) who is dead. When he reaches to claim his fortune he comes to know that his father has willed his entire property to his favorite pet dog Entertainment (Junior). The rest of the movie tells us how Akhil & Entertainment fight for the fortune.

Well the story premise sounds silly but the screenplay by Sajid-Farhad makes it completely chaotic. The first half still has some laughs but in the second half the screenplay falls completely flat with mundane sequences and forced situations which look completely out of place. Overall the screenplay's funny quotient depletes in the second half and looks kiddish.

Dialogues by Sajid-Farhad themselves sound funny initially but it gets repetitive and starts irritating. Sajid-Farhad dialogues have too much emphasis on rhyming of dialogues, which initially brings some laughs but later becomes too repetitive and sounds jarring.

Hamming is passed as acting in this movie. Akshay Kumar as Akhil the main protagonist tries hard to act funny but is successful initially but later he becomes repetitive and hams incessantly. Krushna hams all throughout the movie. Johnny Lever still is successful is bringing some laughs. Tamanah Bhatia is the decorative piece of the movie. The two villains played by Prakash Raj & Sonu Sood add up to the buffoonery. Cameos by Reteish Deshmukh, Shreyas Talpade & Choreography Remo D'Souza are wasted. Mithun Chakraborty in a guest appearance has nothing much to do in this madness. The real hero is the dog Junior, whenever he is on the screen it is a delight but unfortunately the screen time of Junior is in the first half and then in the climax.

Music by Sachin-Jigar is nothing to write home about, rather the tunes seems a rehashed version of their previous movie "FALTU". Even the choreography by Remo D'Souza is average. Cinematography by Manoj Soni looks too artificial, what with too much of color being used in VFX.

Sajid-Farhad's debut does not create any impact and they come up with a below average fare. If you are a dog lover you may like the movie in bits and pieces but overall it is below average...
