Thank You - Movie Review

After the super duper success of ‘Welcome’ and ‘Singh Is King’, Akshay Kumar and Anees Bazmee are back with another laughter riot ‘Thank You’. The film falls in the line of extra-martial affairs with some funny instances like ‘Shaadi No 1’, ‘No Entry’. Though the script has resemblance to those flicks, thief-detective idea makes the story different from the usual track.

In many situations, Anees Bazmee took inspiration from his own film ‘No Entry’ but unfortunately he could not bring out the desired outcome. The film lacks freshness and looks very resembling to his earlier flicks. The first half was engrossing and makes the audience stick to their seats but the second half of the film is very much dragging and boring. At the end, you don’t know how to react.

The same old philosophies like ‘Ghar Ka murgi dal barabaar’ and ‘Men are dogs’ are used to describe certain situations. Nothing new can be drawn from the film.

Raj (Bobby Deol), Vikram (Irrfan Khan) and Yogi (Sunil Shetty) takes their respective wives Sanjana (Sonam Kapoor) Karthika (Rimi Sen) and Radha (Celina Jaitley) for granted. Sanjana suspecting her husband Raj hires hires a flute-playing private detective Kishan (Akshay Kumar), who promises to teach the three loose husbands a tight lesson.

The film has everything that a commercial comic drama contains, ‘naach-gaana’, rona-dhona’, comedy but nothing appealing.

Anees handled few comic scenes with sheer excellence. There are some genuine funny scenes which will makes the audience break into laughter.

Pritam's music is unimpressive. Ravi Yadav's cinematography is top-grade. Steven H. Bernard has done a good editing.

Speaking about performances, Akshay Kumar’s comic timing is as par excellence. He was awesome and so is Irrfan Khan. He enacted his comic part really well. Sunil Shetty was just fine. Bobby Deol was fine. In the ladies department, Sonam Kapoor poorly performed; Rimi Sen was the best among the ladies. She performed stupendously well. Celina Jaitley had only counted scenes. Mallika Sherawat fails to sizzle in the Razia item number.

In the nutshell, it is a poor show. Basically, after delivering hits like ‘Welcome’ and ‘Singh Is King’, one expects some high dosage of entertainment from Bazee-Akshay duo but the outcome was devastating.
