It's Entertainment

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...

Reviewers look for soft targets like this type of movies to show their 'critics' writing skills. nothing matters if people in theater are laughing, this is what the film intends. Leave the einstein inside you outside the theater, and you will enjoy it.

This movie wastes no time to get funny, right from 1st minute. 1st half is simply hilarious. I agree comedy quotient goes down in 2nd half, but drama at end is good. Akshay is good as always. Johny lever, krushna, tamannah all does well too. Music is awesome. specially tera naam doon in opening credits. Johny Johny is excellent.

On the whole, it could have been better, but i leave theatre satisfied. Don't miss end credits !!!

"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.

AN ENTERTAINMENT: The name is more than enough to explain the title . One of the biggest comedy of the year 2014. Though the movie was not much awaited and even the trailer was not much impressive. Thought that its just another prototype comedy movie but the reality was much better than expectation. There's nothing much to find about inside story but the way the storytelling start is just mind blowing.

Entertainment: The Junior Dog: A dog can not only act but can lead the movie. He had a greater entry than a real hero.

Akshay: U r the God of Comedy.. U have no replacement and yet you proved once again to the haters. No one can beat your comic timing.

Tamannaah: Words are not enough to describe your beauty. U look more beautiful in this movie and the your skills of Saas Bahu serial act was just amazing.

Johny Lever: Anyone can die seeing your expression. What a timing and a big salute to the role of Habibullah. True king of Comedy.

Prakash Raj and Sonu Sood: You are not only born for the best villain but you can entertain anyone either its a comedy or a serious mafia don. I was literally jumping off my seats to see the expression while Akki was thrilling with the ghost story.

Krushna: You are the best supporting cast ever seen and made the sequence more interesting with the silly ideas.

Verdict: Its all about the personal judgement. The reviews may be different but if your are a comedy lover, don't have much exception.

Just forget your tension at home. I am sure this will be your best weekend treat.

The only thing you will get to see is ENTERTAINMENT, ENTERTAINMENT and ENTERTAINMENT.

My Rating: 8.5 out of 10.

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
