Ready

It would seem that Indian cinema is in a downward spiral led by the desire of Akshay Kumar and Salman Khan to prove who is actually the worst actor in India and the most incapable of performing in comedy roles. If this effort is any indication to go by, Indian cinema is in a very, very, very bad state.

Good points? Well, Asin as ever looks absolutely gorgeous and illuminates the screen every second she is on. Paresh Rawal is also as ever excellent. Some of the cameos are good. Err, a couple of the songs are excellent. That's about it I am afraid.

Bad points? Way to many to list unfortunately. I am guessing this was an attempt at some slapstick humor Bollywood style but it missed the mark by such a long distance it is not funny (no really, it is not funny). Its a turgid 3 hours indeed when you don't even get anything remotely resembling a good laugh out of a comedy.

Okay, we all know that Salman Khan cannot act to save his life but please, can we at least get one film without him removing his shirt to show off his physique? Its getting boring... and honestly it isn't that great. Some of the action sequences are laughably bad (sorry, there was a laugh in the film!), characters are clichéd beyond the ridiculous, the plot is non-existent (more like a collection of short films that may or may not be edited together in a coherent way), nothing in the way of originality to be found and they really didn't even take the opportunity to properly use some of the great locations Thailand would have given them.

Basically a formulaic film to showcase the dubious talents of Salman Khan. The only reason it gets 4/10 is because of Asin - otherwise it would barely get 2/10. If you are looking for some mindless entertainment (or are obsessed with Salman Khan) then this might just about suit but there are definitely plenty better out there, even from Salman.

Salman is undoubtedly the biggest star in Indian cinema currently. His screen presence is godly that makes movies like Ready an entertainer.

Ready doesn't boast of storyline, which was pretty obvious from the trailers itself. Just go in there with your brain handed over to someone responsible at home and trust me you will have a gala time during the movie.

As was the case with Dabangg, this one is again all Salman. With Asin playing her part beautifully wearing that gorgeous smile, the movie is entertaining, captivating and has numerous moments which will tickle the funny bone in you. Though some scenes projected cheap attempts at comedy, the movie did have some hilariously funny dialogs as well. The background score was good, considering the theme of the movie and the songs were amazing. Especially, "Dhinka Chika" is enjoyable and has peppy tunes to get you into the groove.

For all the directors and producers out there, please don't overdo the 'Only Salman and no Storyline Genre', as it does seem to provide entertainment throughout but it might not be the wise choice in the long run.

A must watch for all Salman fans and definitely a one-timer for all the others.

Ready is a success only because of the 'presence' of salman..aneez thought that he could keep making cash using akshay,but since the people understood akshay is useless,'thankyou' flopped..now aneez is using the next mega hyped star,salman....result-megahit.. Ready was corny and had a illogical plot..some can say plot is compromised for the comedy but Ready has just one or two funny scenes....acting was avg,fans of salman will find his acting&comedy good,but for others salman is also avg.. Being a aneez basmi movie,the plot is made on the way..direction was awful.. The movie is a timepass,so leave your brain,heart and other useful organs at the door and then you can truly enjoy this movie....

"Ready" is the proof that Bollywood can never go beyond starstruck audiences, loud and unnecessary irrational songs, weak- ludicrous and farcical story , slapstick humor for Whistle-blower's rejoice, pee-break and ensemble casts.

Salman Khan was just being himself. Paresh Rawal did what he couldn't do in Hera Pheri. Asin was a waste. Rest casts were just for some ludicrous jokes. Zarine Khan was good enough for just a song.This movie was not a complete laughter riot, but very foolish in between. Avoidable.

Yes, the film has it's funny moments. Some scenery shots are beautiful. If you speak Hindi, you will appreciate the language jokes. What I was shocked about though is the racism in this film. What we are used from Bollywood films is that fair skinned people are the good and pretty ones and dark skinned ones are the bad ones. Here, we even have European girls as background dancers to make it prettier, and real African guys in the beat-up gang to make it look more evil. The scene I walked out on is when someone walks up to a black hotel employee and tell's him "Who are you? Look at yourself. You're so black, that if they'd put you on national TV the entire country's evil will be taken out".
