rosh007 A user pointed out that the role of the 'pandit' is played by Mahesh Mishra. As per the user, earlier this had been wrongly credited as Mahesh Manjhrekar. The latter is indeed the famous producer, director and actor, who had directed the Sanjay Dutt starrer Vaastav. Now, coming back to the artist playing the 'pandit' role in Welcome, he is not Mahesh Mishra as pointed out by the user and as added in the cast list. He is in fact Sanjay Mishra, the comedian who played in films like Bunty Aur Babli, One Two Three (Pintos), Golmaal Returns (Subodh SMS), Apna Sapna Money Money (Pandit Sarju Maharaj), Aloo Chaat (Chhadaami Mama) etc.. So moderators please verify and rectify the error.

Avinash Patalay With the success of No Entry, the stakes are raised for Anees Bazmee. And does he live up to it? Here is your opportunity to be the judge.Story:: There is none.Music:: Disappoints big time.Starcast:: It would be a gross understatement to say that they have been wasted.Characterisation:: There is no such word in the dictionary.Comedy:: The comic portions of No Entry were a laugh-riot but in welcome it falters big time.Sublime message:: Criticising the people on the other side of the fence, leaves a bad taste.Verdict:: Don't be fooled by the reviews, "Mindless comedy" and "Leave your brains at home" are the camouflaging phrases used by the critics.PS:: Akshay's recent success streak will give this movie a home-run though.

vijayalakshmi muralidhar (vijayathethinker) Sorry ,Sorry to say Nana patekar was a misfit . Could not digest that he was Katrina's brother. Even though he is a gem of Hindi film industry, even though a dialogue in the film tries to justify the difference of the skin colors, sorry we could not convince ourselves. With all due respect for Nana and his meaningful roles in films he should not have been chosen for that role. Who else will fit? Irfan Khan ! Leave it, Leave it.Anil kapoor, the ladla of Indian film industry , tried his level best to transform into Majnu Bhai. The don.Katrina has nothing to do in the film. Makers of her films should not ignore powers of her presence. One must allow her to act and contribute something for the story.Now and then the flow of the story, and scenes slide down ex:-the shooting scenes making Nana an actor.If at all some love and how it developed between hero and heroine was shown, how nice it would have been! It would have satiated the hearts of story listeners who are very much existing in the audiences of any cinema in the world.If only the songs were different from each other in nature?Please! Wait!Don't be in hurry to wipe "Welcome" as a waste. There is a lot more in it which welcomes you when you have spare time, when you do not have any other movie to watch and when you are in a mood to laugh and enjoy the silly but tickling moments of the film.Please do not punish the makers for the drags. Pat them for the entertainment provided.Akshay kumar the present , decent superstar , Paresh Rawal the true comedian , Anil Kapoor the lively , sincere, smooth actor and other small characters do attract us and contribute to the entertainment and about 20 loud laughs which take place automatically without our notice. The match fixing episodes were really hilarious. The presence of Feroz Khan was refreshing and elevates the lighter moments in the graveyard and the hanging house. Mallika"s presence was needed. But really feel sorry for Majnu, when his painting was thrown into swimming pool.If anybody has the patience to accept this light comedy and have the broad mind to pardon the faults of the story which lacks the depth, one can just walk in.

bobbysing The latest in the inspired comedy series is this laugh riot which is full of stars. The basic plot is inspired from the Hugh Grant movie "Mickey Blue Eyes" (1999). Even the hero's profession is kept same as an art house auctioneer. But then the script takes on indianized plots and tries to make you laugh through comic sequences. No doubt the promotional packaging was superb which surely gave the movie a big initial draw at the cinema houses. But the content is rather not impressive and its like several comedy sequences joined together. The focus of the screenplay keeps shifting from one plot to another. The biggest disappointment is that it has less of Akshay and the viewer keeps waiting for the scenes with his brilliant timing. There is more of Anil Kapoor & Nana Patekar as two dons. Nana is kind of same with his expected mannerisms but Anil is superb and acts like he is enjoying every minute of his act. He even looks a lot younger than his age. Feroz Khan looks graceful but is loud at some scenes. He has more scenes in the climax of the movie and is also introduced after the interval. The heroines are only there for the glamour quotient of the movie and could not ask for more in this heavy star cast movie. The first half of the movie has many unwanted sequences which are only inserted to create laughter and have nothing to do with the screenplay. But the film gains momentum in the second half when Vijay Raaz enters as a phony film director. In fact in my opinion this plot of making Nana an actor in a fake film should have been the highlight of the movie, which could create more laughter's in the cinema. The songs are all inserted as usual and only few are hummable. The best part of the movie comes towards the climax after Katrina accidentally shoots the son of Feroz Khan. The chase and the play with the dead body afterwards is surely hilarious. It is the main highlight of the movie as you get to see some quality comedy scenes and timing in this. In all the film is not as expected but still will brings audiences to the cinemas due to the superb promotional packaging, immensely popular catchy title song "Welcome" and due to the current hot thing in Bollywood – Akshay Kumar.
