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

"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.

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 !!!

Sajid-Farhad, the talented Writer duo, turn Directors with 'Entertainment'. And fortunately, 'Entertainment' is unabashedly silly & offers some funny moments, that work on its favor. Its mad, but its a bit fun too.

'Entertainment' Synopsis: A down on his luck fella, gets the shock of his life, when he realizes that all his father's wealth has been given to a dog. Chaos follows...

'Entertainment' has an interesting premise & the Writer-Director duo manage to deliver some over-the-top, but funny sequences in the goings-on. The humor here is clearly absurd & it doesn't shy away from that fact, which in turn, works on its advantage.

The first-hour passes by nicely, with the sequences between Akshay & Dog, doing the trick. But, the second-hour is where the film begins to slip. The entire track involving the greedy brothers, played by Prakash Raj & Sonu Sood, is prolonged & barely funny. The climax, however, is decent.

Sajid-Farhad certainly make a watchable comedy, but this isn't a laugh-riot. It has its share of fun, but it could've been so much more! A stronger second-hour was the need of the day! As Directors, the duo have done a fair job. Cinematoraphy is okay. Editing is passable. Music by Sachin-Jigar is lovely.

Performance-Wise: Akshay is in his element, delivers a sincere, comedic performance from start to end. Tamannaah looks great, but hardly gets any scope to perform. Mithun Chakraborty is in form, yet again. Johny Lever brings the house down. He's hilarious! Krushna, also, manages to bring in some great laughs. Prakash Raj & Sonu Sood are passable. Vrajesh Hirjee scores in a cameo. Junior as Entertainment, the dog, is adorable.

On the whole, 'Entertainment' will appeal to those who primarily enjoy slap-stick comedies.

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...
