Thank You

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.

Thank you is a funny time-pass flick,which seems as it is a sequel to No Entry by Aneez Bazmee himself.Director Anees Bazmee could not bring out any freshness to the plot and has created another feel good-go movie with some hilarious moments like No Entry.

Irrfan khan is the best among the lead with some witty one-liners and perfect comic timing.Bobby Deol has done justice to his role and creates some hilarious moments but turns angry and humorless in the second half.Sunil Shetty has proved his comical excellence once again after flicks like phir hera pheri and one two three.Akshay Kumar does a charming role with a cool persona;but lacks freshness.Sonam Kapoor looks as if she has terribly gone wrong in her makeup;but does an o.k performance.Rimi Sen is the best among the female leads and her chemistry with Irrfan is the best part of the film which could evoke lot of laughs.Celina Jaitley is absent in the film for a major part of the story and has nothing much to offer.

Music by Pritam is in tone with the theme and the songs Pyaar Do Pyaar Lo and Pyaar Mein stands out in the album.The song in the flashback scene,which is absent in the music album is melodious and soothing.

some +ves:: The flute theme of the movie,which has a magical freshness- Good choreography of the songs-Irrfan's comic timing-Editing by Steven H Bernard

some -ves:: The flashback scene in the climax which seems too senseless-Timing of the songs;especially in the second half-Similarity of story to that of many films like No Entry and other films which is based on extra-marital affairs.

Verdict::Thank you has nothing new to offer for the audience;but seems as a time-pass movie which has some hilarious moments and can evoke some laughs.Go for it if you are on a festival mood. Ma Rating::6.5/10

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.

In few words if I am asked to write about THANK YOU then I would say - There must be many young energetic directors working as under-employed or struggling on the roads of Mumbai for their one chance, capable of giving a much better movie than this present one coming from Aneez Bazmee. And why I am very much confident in this statement, that's because you cannot go more wrong than THANK YOU.

In other words, in this net age of digital entertainment, it's a shame that our directors and producers still consider 'we viewers' as brain dead, desperate and silly to accept such kind of utter crap. What a waste of precious resources both for the makers and as well as the viewers?

Sometimes I really feel confused that do these actors, directors or producers ever see their own self-made film in the theater before releasing it? And if they really do then Is there nobody who can tell them that what they have actually made and how its going to do at the box office? On second thoughts a film like THANK YOU clearly confirms that the Industry is full of mean and self-concerned persons who would never reveal you the real truth and would only appreciate you and your product at your face.

Content wise, the film has nothing new in the name of a story and is mere an extension of films such as NO ENTRY, PARTNER & MASTI made on the subject of cheating husbands and their escape routes. So it's indeed very surprising that its whole team of writers and director decided to just repeat the subject and nothing else. In fact the opening few minutes are only ones when you enjoy the most and then the rest purely makes you repent. Besides the last moment addition to the script, where Vidya Balan comes in as a special appearance simply makes you think, "What the hell is happening?".

Musically, it's a very average kind of score from the otherwise good Pritam, which also gets full support from some highly low standard and weird lyrics. Cinematography is nothing above the usual and background score doesn't give you anything to take notice of itself.

In the acting department, there is only one saving grace of the movie and he is Irfan Khan, who remains the only person who is able to make you laugh at times and that's it. Other than Irfan the entire cast can easily put this film in the list of their worst choices made. Akshay seriously needs a break which specifically needs to be a more educative break for him where he should learn how to judge a product after having so much experience in the field by his side. I agree you cannot predict or judge a Hit, but you can surely sense a BAD film coming your way without any doubt. Though he looks smart and young in the film doing his role well, but unfortunately that is not enough for the audience who come to the theater with their own set of expectations. Supporting Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty tries very hard and Bobby Deol seems to be completely lost somewhere else.

Among the ladies, it's the worst film of Sonam till date where she is really looking awful at places with very poor make up and looks. As reported in the news, she very much looks like ill and tired throughout the film. Celina Jaitely is hardly there in the movie but Rimi Sen gives her best to her allotted role. Both Mallika Sherawat in the item number and Vidya Balan in the climax are wasted and the film could have easily been made without their deliberate insertions.

In all, after the end credits role, one starts thinking that the apt title of this film should have been SORRY instead of THANK YOU and I think that explains it all.

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.
