Thank You

This was the nice Sufi film based on a romance, drama, comedy, it is much of romance and drama then comedy. A film is weak in his script as end is predictable, in-spite of end many of the incidents were also predictable. But in all the film i like the music of this movie. When akshay kumar play flute, and music came out of it was awesome and best soundtrack of the whole movie. As per this movie also contains some most drastic scenes and some drastic coincidences, this movie is also weak in its climax, but the locations of Canada are much nice to see shown in this movie. In this movie akshay kumar is shown much over-smart, over- intelligent who knows everything which is the most negative point of the movie. At last i conclude that the movie is one time watchable.

Typical Akshay Kumar movie.....

Lots of semi-naked phoren babes--and shots of Akki cavorting with them ( what else ? ) , like they are in aaaaaalllllll of Akki's films .

To join him this time are Bobby ( out of work ) Deol , Irrfan Khan ( can a bollywood movie do without a Khan nowadays ? ) and Suniel Shetty ( even the change of name from Sunil to Suniel wont change the luck of this non-actor ,the way it has for Irfan to Irrfan ).

All are sleazy guys who get caught by their wives cheating with other women and end up to ask help from Akki , who himself is a womanizer ( so whats new about Akshay , even in real life )

Little do they know that Akshay is upto games of his own.......

The movie is funny in some parts , though the ending is corny .

Verdict--okay for some timepass.

The Akshay Kumar-Suniel Shetty Jodi is back but wait, don't consider it as the level of Phir Hera Pheri or Awara Pagal Deewana, you'll get disappointed. Even I was disappointed to see silly comedy in this star-studded Anees bazmee movie. No doubt, Akshay is phenomenal. Apart from him and Bobby Deol, performances are weak. The first half was silly, below average story and picks up late. The second half is full of fun. Silly comedy becomes sitcom which we enjoy to watch. Female roles are very weak. Recommended to: Akshay Kumar fans. Bollywood comedy lovers. Can watch for time-pass.

It's been rather quiet on the Bollywood mainstream front given the build up and subsequent hangover with India winning the Cricket World Cup, but I suppose releases will be back on track soon, with one of the earliest off the blocks being Anees Bazmee's Thank You, a typical comedy broaching on the topic of marriage infidelity starring one of the most hardworking and overexposed stars in Akshay Kumar in an ensemble together with Bobby Deol, Suniel Shetty, Irrfan Khan, Sonam Kapoor, Celina Jaitley and Rimi Sen.

So shouldn't it sound like fun, given a bevy of stars in situational set ups about philandering husbands who fool around behind their wives' backs, and having their own support group set up as credible alibis. Bobby Deol's Raj manages to fool his wife Sanjana (Sonam Kapoor) with his sweet nothings, his boss Vikram (Irrfan Khan) overpowers his submissive wife Karthika (Rimi Sen) with unreasonable demands, probably because the latter wants to continue enjoying the high life thanks to her husband's booming luxury yacht business. Then there's Suniel Shetty as Yogi, perhaps the least skillful of the lot, being caught out by wife Radha (Celina Jaitley), and also because of the latter's engagement of a private investigator Kishen (Akshay Kumar) who she introduces to Sanjana to wake the simpleton to see beyond the wool pulled over her eyes.

Honestly, the first half of the film before the interval is the stronger portion of the story, and probably where it's most fun given the interesting battle of wits premise set, even though it was not exploited to the full extent. With Radha and Sanjana reluctantly engaging Kishen's services, the latter is adamant in exposing the three husbands in one fell swoop, but discovers that the counter-brilliance of the mastermind Vikram won't make this an easy walk in the park. Strategies get employed involving technology, divide and conquer tactics to make the guys turn on one another, and frankly the set comedic pieces hit more than missed. The complication arises when the guys also engages Kishen's services, and find out that he too is a ladies man, though his loyalties, under wraps, belong to his earlier employers.

A small romantic subplot also involved Kishen and Sanjana with a hint of a conflict of interest from the get go that was cursory at best, and the remaining saving grace of the film belonged to the chemistry between Irrfan and Bobby Deol as buddies who find their lifestyle under threat. But it all spiraled downward after the interval with plenty of melodrama being poured into it such as the tired and silly suicide attempt of Sanjana at the Niagara Falls (this was partly shot in Toronto and Vancouver), and when Kishen progresses into his next role as a pseudo-marriage counsellor out to teach the guys a thing or two about fidelity, and reconciliation. However I suspect that the jokes here were less slapstick and direct, relying on funny dialogue that got lost in translation through the subtitles, which was a pity for non- Hindi speakers like myself.

Song and dance sequences were nothing to shout about unfortunately, even with Mallika Sherawat popping up as an item girl in Razia. No subtitles came with the lyrics to the songs, so I'm left to my own devices to determine what shenanigans the characters were into. Would have been a much engaging film if the second half managed to keep pace with the eclectic first, but instead opting for a more conventional approach and finale that makes you wonder why the females can't just walk out of a relationship that is already on rocky grounds no thanks to mistrust and dishonesty, lessons learnt notwithstanding.

The movie is bad, and so is the script. Akshay and Sonam just don't go together and neither Sonam and Bobby. Basically Sonam was the misfit. But what I loved was Rimi and Irfaan's pair. Wish they'd done another movie together with a similar theme of a couple who hate each other or a situation where they hate each other. They were so natural. Too late now :( RIP Irfaan.
