Thank You

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

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.

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.

'No thanks' would be the proper response if someone proposes that you watch this junk. Anees Bazmee has made another garbage that's not only highly offensive to women but also an insult to people's basic intelligence. Of course, I expect this from Akshay Kumar and Bazmee (who, as it seems, is incapable of making a decent film) so I would have skipped this but some of my relatives are fans of Kumar and so it was more about spending time with the family and laughing at the awfulness of 'Thank You'. While I did predict it to be awful, I thought it would be one of those so-bad that it's funny. However, the way the woman are portrayed as weak AND stupid is unforgivable. Anyway, needless to say, the writing is horrendous. Akshay Kumar is okay where acting is concerned but he offers nothing new. Irfan Khan steals the show as he reveals his comic side once again. Of the women, Rimi Sen stands out in a non-challenging role. Bobby Deol, Sonam Kapoor and Celina Jaitly are bad. Of course, like many rich Bollywood directors, Bazmee is ashamed of India, so the film is poorly shot in Canada. The songs, like in most recent Akshay Kumar films, are dreadful.

Oh well, as a viewer, I wouldn't consider myself completely blameless as I did choose to watch this trash, expecting to at least laugh a bit and poke fun but alas! No thanks to Bazmee and his team.

I went to watch this movie with very low expectations thinking it to be another vulgar/cheap comedy that Bollywood has been making on cheating husbands. But I was pleasantly surprised. The story is about three couples where the husbands fool their wives and have extra-marital affairs and how the wives get back at their husbands using the help of a private detective.

Needless to say, Irrfan Khan is the best in the movie. He does a good job and has a good comic timing. Other actors (Akshay Kumar, Rimi Sen, Bobby Deol)have also done a fair job. Sonam Kapoor (whom I don't like much) is tolerable. It's fun to watch and the scenes between Irrfan and Rimi are good. Not a great movie but an enjoyable one!
