7 Welcome to London

Am excellent film. Great for Asian community in Britain and also for the general population in general.

Many directors in the past have tried to merge genres to create a Hybrid movie and to a large degree have failed. So why did Shan try his hand at a failing genre was the real reason for me to watch the film. The first gear was just that, a clinched filled story of Jai coming to the UK to make a life for himself but just as you got comfortable with the pace, Shan went straight to gear five. Seat belts tightened you were taken on an exhilarating drive that allows you to smile, laugh and cry whilst enjoying the ride. Asad's acting abilities are nothing great in the opening scenes however; this does change by the end of the film. None the less you do leave the film liking his character even if it is for his unusual makeup. Sabeeka was supposed to be the glamour piece in the film but alas failed to do achieve that – her monotone expressions did little for her character. Goldie who plays Jai's friend, was the most likable character and his range of emotions were superb. In fact apart from him, the only other person who stood out was the baddie played by Tim Hibbard who managed to bring the right blend of menace and fear to his character. Asad did a good job with the direction and on the whole, managed to give you a decent hybrid film and along the way has created a new niche within a vibrant and ever changing market.

When I watched the trailer, movie seemed to be very interesting. Today I planned to watch the movie with my friends n we were expecting so much from the movie. We had Taken 3 as an option. But we preferred "Welcome to London". First half of the movie was a complete waste. There were a few jokes though, but they were never needed trust me none of us bothered even to smile. Acting was poor. Storyline was crap we couldn't understand what was happening in the movie except last 40 minutes that seemed to be inspired by "The Hunger Games". Ending was ideal: Happy... But movie... I would say if you have nothing to do with your time and your money, Go for it, waste your time and money. Sigh...!

Having recently gotten into watching some Bollywood movies, and movies of the subcontinent, I was anticipating a movie that had some depth and a story line that would captivate the audience. However I felt the the story line was rather, contrived, and forced. There was very little plot or character development,consequently it was hard to relate to, or emphasize with the characters. In terms of the acting 'Goldie' was brilliant, and the leading man Asad Shan has great potential. The leading actress, was unfortunately not up to par when it came to acting ability, and was unable to emote and express in relation to the dialogue she was articulating. Moreover a gripe for non-native speakers of Hindi/urdu, the subtitles were not adequately presented, as in many instances they were chopped off. The soundtrack of the film itself was very good, and a pleasing listen.

OK so I watch a lot of Bollywood films and every single one has the same concept and storyline guy meets girl & falls in love etc.. I expected the same from this don't get me wrong there is romance in the film but there is also something very unexpected a twist which you don't expect at all!

This is a film made by British VJ Asad Shan, wasn't sure what to expect when I decided to watch this but have to say I wasn't disappointed at all.. You can expect all you want from this film... Romance, Drama, Action, Thriller, Comedy and go through a rollercoster of emotions... The first half of the film is mainly the intro to the main casts introducing Jai but the second half is where the film grips you...

You seriously need to watch the film to understand what I mean... What decision does Jai (Asad Shan) take? How far will he go?

This is a great film by UK British Actor Asad Shan, if your looking for something totally different to your usual Bollywood films then I would highly recommend this, everyone I've taken to see this film has thoroughly enjoyed it.. It's what you would expect if leading Bollywood Director Karan Johar and British Director Guy Ritchie would make if they collaborated to make a film... You have never seen London look so Dark as it is in 7 Welcome to London... A must watch!
